Recording Service - Memory Usage

[Stevie77]

I've installed gbpvr on a separate PC as a little "multimedia-server". The pc runs 24/7 without pause (even no standby and no hibernation).
Since I upgraded to v 0.96.12 I notice that the recording service eats up my free memory. After a fresh restart of the service it allocates about 35 megs. Yesterday, about a week of duty without pause, it had already allocated about 500 megs!! I had to restart the whole machine to get it to work again.

By the way, since restarting yesterday, it already allocates 150 megs again.

My multimedia-server is based an an simple XP Pro installation. Never had such problems before (with previsious versions of gbpvr).

Do you use any plugins?

[Stevie77]

I'm using a kind of plain gbpvr installation. Additionally installed "My Pictures" - but I don't use it regulary. Since yesterdays restart I didn't even use it once.

Check your logs and see if anything suspicious is going on... they are located in program files\devnz\gbpvr directory

[Stevie77]

Checked logs - nothing suspicios so far. No errors logged.

Looks like a memory leak within recording service to me....

couldn't that just 'be 'normal' .net behaviour... there was a discussion about this where sub stated this:

this could be worth an experiment... take a tool (memory test tool or something) and alloc a lot of ram... as i understand it, the .net memory management should 'free' up some in that case.

Which country are you in, what EPG source do you use (XMLTV, zap2it, bleb, DVB EPG), and how many channels do you have?

[Stevie77]

I live in austria. My epg is feeded xmltv-based (tvxb). I've 26 channels, 20 of them are currently enabled, the other ones are disabled.
The recording source is one DVB-card (BDA/Hauppauge Nova-S). Complete EPG reload is enabled.
