MovieWiz thumbnail memory problems revisited

I've changed the logic so that it only caches images retrieved from web (since that is the slowest). I've added alot of logging to this version as well as tweaked the WizWebHelper and WizUiHelper DLLs.

Give it a try, if you still see a problem, set the caching variable down to 2, rerun and post your logs.

Hi JW,

Looks like you fixed the main problem. Well done! Memory use is well down, hovering around 150MB - much better than the 1.7GB it would max out to. BTW, if you would like some details on how I track the memory usage, I can elaborate.

There appears to be now another thumbnail problem. If you try to view the thumbnail large from the plugin, MW exits abnormally to main menu. This happens every time.

I've included a log to assist you fault find.

Cheers,
Dan

Glad memory is looking better, I found several spots where I was not managing it correctly. I would be interested as to your approach for tracking memory...

Try this version of the WizUiHelper DLL, I think it should solve that problem.

I use Windows Internals' (now part of Microsoft) free Process Explorer. It's available for download from Microsoft without restriction at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysin...96653.aspx

Select the process to watch and double click on it, or display properties. The Performance Graph tab gives a very good real time visual of the memory usage of an individual process. I hope it helps.

All good! Problem nailed. Big Grin

Hi JW,
The saga of thumbnails appear not quite over. I tried to revise an existing thumbnail via Movie Manager, but it fails to stick. It seems to saves the new thumbnail, but move to another movie record, then come back and the old thumbnail is still there.

I'm using the MovieWiz 1.0.25.0.

Cheers,
Dan

I am unable to recreate. I tried the following.

Ran MovieWiz Manager
Selected the "Manage Content" tab
Selected a movie and clicked "Lookup Image"
Thumbnail selector dialog appeared, selected a new image and clicked "Select"
Clicked "Save" on the Manage Content dialog.
Quite MovieWiz Manager
Restarted, selected the movie and found that the image was saved.

I have save images in db selected.

Could try a similar scenario and post your logs (note, your log file can be found in plugins/MovieWiz/logs)?

My versions are:

Code:
MovieWizManager      - v1.0.7.0          | C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins\MovieWiz\MovieWizManager.exe

MovieWiz             - v1.0.25.1         | C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins\MovieWiz\MovieWiz.dll

First off, I think there may be some fixes for thumbnails in current version. Can you try updating to the current version (on the wiki), try again, if problem persists, post your logs.

Hi JW,

Attached is my latest MW Manager log. The thumbnail not "sticking" when revising an existing movie entry problem is still there.

I updated to the latest MovieWiz 1.0.25.1:
MovieWizManager - v1.0.7.0 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\MovieWiz\MovieWizManager.exe
MovieWiz - v1.0.25.1 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\MovieWiz\MovieWiz.dll
WizUiHelper - v1.0.22.1 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\common\WizUiHelper.dll
GBPVRPublic - v1.0.3299.13224 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\GBPVRPublic.dll
WizWebHelper - v1.0.12.2 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\common\WizWebHelper.dll
System.Data.SQLite - v1.0.30.1 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\System.Data.SQLite.dll
PVRUiPublic - v1.0.0.0 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\PVRUiPublic.dll
HtmlAgilityPack - v1.3.0.0 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\common\HtmlAgilityPack.dll
WizGenHelper - v1.0.0.3 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Plugins\common\WizGenHelper.dll
AxInterop.WMPLib - v1.0.0.0 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\AxInterop.WMPLib.dll
Interop.WMPLib - v1.0.0.0 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\Interop.WMPLib.dll
GBPVRBackendCommon - v1.0.3299.13248 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\GBPVRBackendCommon.dll
NativeUtilities - v1.0.3299.13247 | C:\Program Files\GBPVR\NativeUtilities.dll

EDIT:
I noticed that if the thumbnail is added via Lookup Image through the Internet, the image IS remembered. Replacement of thumbnails via "local lookup" are not saved.

I hope this helps in your troubleshooting.

Regards,
Dan

Hi JW,

I see that you have been busy. When you get the opportunity, below I added some further debugging information that indicates the situation I specifically see the thumbnail update issue.

Thank. I'll talk a look at this.
