NextPVR v5.x memory leak?

[terabitz]

For some time now, my NextPVR install has been exceeding 1,000,000 K of memory in Windows 10. I don't know exactly when it started, but I began noticing it a month or so ago. The only way to stop it was to restart the NextPVR Service, but then it would gradually climb back up to that value again.

Today, I did a fresh reinstall and the problem is still happening.

Any idea what's going on? I've attached my logs.

Thank you.

It can use a lot of memory during an EPG update. It does free it up, but there is no guarantee the system will reclaim the memory from the process unless it's under pressure to do so (like running low on memory elsewhere)

This seems to be large number o f settings being changed, do you recall what your were doing.

Changed default admin login, set a new PIN, changed video transcoder to NVIDIA (I have a 3070), logged into my Schedules Direct account, scanned for channels on my HDHomeRun, mapped channels to SD lineup, downloaded channel icons, downloaded guide data

Might be worth checking the memory after restarting. Then recheck after an EPG update. Then maybe recheck after a second EPG update.

[terabitz]

Happened again, after 24 hours or so.



After restarting the service, it goes down to this:



It then shot up to this after a manual EPG guide update



Is there seriously no way that to let the RAM go after it finishes the guide update, other than manually restarting the program every 24 hours?

Yeah, so as suggested, it's likely the EPG update.

Is there seriously no way that to let the RAM go after it finishes the guide update, other than manually restarting the program every 24 hours?

It has let the memory go, but the .NET runtime is holding on to it on the assumption the app is probably going to want that much again. Is it actually causing an issue? ie, are you running out of memory?

[terabitz]

I can notice that Chrome can sometimes run slower when the memory is upped, as well as when I open video games. Plus my fans seem to run a tad bit louder as well.

I have 32 GB of RAM, so memory isn't an issue. Just the slowness of other apps as well as fans running louder in my computer are all.

And I didn't notice this until recently. Previously, NPVR would run at about 500,000 K or so of RAM if it was recording, but then it would go back down when complete.
