[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1283286, member: 82144"] Okay. I suspect the best way for us to make progress on this issue is to start by eliminating TvS background tasks. The goal is to control and understand exactly what TvS is doing at any point in time in the hope that this may clarify when and why TvS is using memory.[I][/I] [B][SIZE=5]EPG Grabber[/SIZE][/B] Is the built-in EPG grabber enabled? [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration [*]Go to the "DVB EPG" section. [*]The EPG Grabber is enabled if either of the 2 "enabled" ("EPG grabbing while timeshifting/recording" and/or "EPG grabbing while idle") checkboxes are ticked. [/LIST] If you're based in the USA as your forum profile indicates, you almost certainly don't need the built-in EPG grabber. I mean, this EPG grabber doesn't support grabbing North American guide data. It's doubly unnecessary if you're using EPG-Buddy. If the built-in EPG grabber is enabled, I strongly recommend to disable it. (Note that you need to restart TvS after unticking the "enabled" checkboxes for the change to take effect.) [B][SIZE=5]Recording Thumbnail Creator[/SIZE][/B] Is the thumbnail creator enabled? [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration [*]Go to the "Recording" section. [*]Go to the "Thumbs" tab. [*]The thumbnail creator is enabled if the "autocreate thumbs" checkbox is ticked. [/LIST] Having thumbnails (frame-grabs for use as a preview/icon) for recordings can be helpful and/or desirable for various reasons. However, in the interests of identifying the source of the issue you're seeing I strongly recommend you disable it. At least for now. (Note that you need to restart TvS after unticking the "autocreate thumbs" checkbox for the change to take effect.) [B][SIZE=5]Plugins[/SIZE][/B] Which TvS plugins are enabled? You indicated you are (or were?) using EPG-Buddy as your guide data source. If I recall correctly, using EPG-Buddy requires the XMLTV plugin. Given how mature, stable, and widely used the XMLTV plugin is, I'd be very, [I]very[/I] surprised if the issue you're seeing had anything to do with it. So.. If you're actively using EPG-Buddy then feel free to leave the XMLTV plugin enabled. If you're no longer using EPG-Buddy, I recommend to disable the XMLTV plugin as a precaution. Any other plugins you can disable - even if only temporarily - may help to identify the source of the issue. The above covers all the questions and recommendations I can think of at present. After following the recommendations you're willing to follow I suggest monitoring TvS's memory usage for 24 hours or so to see if the changes have made a difference. [/QUOTE]
