Hi, I have been using RC2 for a while now, and of late have started to use it exclusively for my home media requirements. As such my usage has increased and I cam across the memory leakage problem in RC2.

When RC2 started, mediaportal.exe use to sit at the homescreen with 14mb ram used, then after a day of watching tv and movies, music, picutes (whatever) the system would get very slow and eventually i would kill MP and be presented with a "you virtual memory is too low" ballon from the task bar. A reboot would empty the bit bucket and away I go again.

Tonight I got jack of it, and upgraded to RC4. And al of a sudden MP now uses 100MB sitting at the home screen, but the up side is, changing channels, starting/stopping movies has no great effect on the memory used.

I was and am still using DScaler for Audio and Video.

Has anyone else experience this significant jump in memory usage? Is it something the devs have done to eliminate the problem (prefetch data)....i did notice the disk chugs a bit more when going from plugin to plugin

and on a side note, my system is apparently running pirated software...so i have to sort that one out...looks like my license from joe blogs backyard compouter store wasnt legit!
