Bug has been confirmed, when the tvguide.xml file changes, mp is triggered and the memory leak starts.

I found a work around for this bug. Seems mediaportal now detects changes to tvguide.xml and starts its own import of that data into its database. Seems tvguidesheduler.exe does the same, so when the task ran, mediaportal started its own import creating problems in the database file and leading to the leak from mediaporta,exe and tvguidescheduler.exe both trying to do the same thing at the same time.
Under the xmltv settings, I changed the grabber from tv_grab_na_dd to tvguide.xml. Then I created a batch file that does the actual xmltv grab and added that as a scheduled task. Then removed the regular mediaportal tvguidesheduler.exe sheduled task. This solved the problem for me until there is a fix.

Hope this helps you guys.

Also, just running the from "setup mediaportal" without running MP at the same time works fine.
When I first saw this bug, MP had tried to grab the TV schedule for 20hours. The PC was using 2.6GB, and was getting extremely overworked.

By the way, I just installed the 020206 CVS, and the problem is still here.

I've just encountered this bug on 020206 CVS as well.
I was so pleased to see my other bugs had been fixed (timeshift tv failing when opening tv guide, and missing artist and album names in music). Fantastic work on those by the way Dev Team!

Then I woke up this morning to find the machine not responding - needed a reset. I'll give jefbur's workaround a try later.

Does that mean I can just get today's CVS SnapShot?

Snapshot is 1am as opposed to the 10:06pm change, so that looks like it should be ok (assuming the same time zone). Just thought I'd ask to make sure...

Thanks!

I just updated to the 02-04-2006--12-30 CSV, and I can confirm that this bug is gone in this release.

Great job guys!

Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in.
