Memory Leak???

[agienne]

Hello!! I'm not a programmer (just getting that out of the way). But...

I noticed that over time my system began losing memory. with Pvrx2 being the culprit.
With the task manager open, I found that when I click on a Netflix movie (and it shows the more detailed description,), it jumps about 5,000k and never drops down.
Because I use Netflix Watch Now (the best!) more than my recorded shows, it's quite noticable.

Hopefully this hasn't been written about yet (everyone uses vague forum titles), and extra hopefully, it's not just me!!

Thanks!!

Andrew

It's really hard to track down a memory leak in .Net because it may not free up the resources immediately. It may wait until those resources are needed before reclaiming them. The current plugin does use less resources than the original although it still uses quite a bit. For instance, it will only load about 25 poster images (current position +/- 12) instead of posters for the entire list. It will also only load the large poster for the currently selected item. Even so, loading titles, descriptions, etc for 200+ items still requires a large amount of resources. I wish I could cut it down but if there is a way, it is currently beyond my abilities.

ahh. I didn't know that they would wait before reclaiming.
Thanks for the netflix!!

You're welcome. I'll be releasing the source soon so maybe someone else might see a memory issue and know how to fix it or at least point it out to me. I wasn't saying there was one, just that if there is, I wouldn't know.
