[QUOTE="jasonwc, post: 806821, member: 96147"] Note: I posted this before on the main thread a while back but I never got a response so I'm reposting in its own thread as it's a pretty serious issue. I've had a recurring memory usage issue which I hope someone might be able to shed some light on. I'm not sure if it's caused by Mediaportal or if it's actually a memory leak in Windows. Basically, if I import my entire collection of movies (only about 400 movies) into Moving Pictures on ANY x64 version of Windows, the kernel paged memory usage skyrockets until I run out of memory. If I install an x86 version of Windows on the same system, the issue doesn't occur. The reason I think this may be a Windows issue is that the problem occurs where the movies are stored - not necessarily on the system where Mediaportal is being run. For example, I now have about 4 TB of movies stored on a WHS 2011 storage server, and when I ran a moving pictures import on my HTPC, kernel memory usage climbed on the storage server to over 7 GB from about 150-200 MB. If the movies are stored locally, the memory usage increases on the machine doing the import. I've now seen this issue on three different systems w/ Mediaportal 1.2 Beta or 1.2 final and various versions of Moving Pictures including 1.2.3: Desktop Core i7 860 2.8 Ghz Quad Core CPU Asus P7P55D-E PRO 1156 Motherboard 12 GB DDR3 1600 RAM 2 x ATI 5850 @ stock 160 GB Intel X-25 M SSD 2 TB drive temp storage Windows 7 x64 (Issues occurs)/Windows 7 x86 (no issue - same driver versions; all up-to-date) HTPC Core i3 550 @ 3.2 Ghz Dual Core CPU GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3R 1156 Socket Motherboard 4 GB DDR 1333 RAM Nvidia GT430 Cruical C300 60 GB SSD 2 TB of storage (used to be 12 TB but since moved to storage server) Windows 7 x64 (issue occurs); Windows 7 x86 (no issue) Storage Server: Norco RPC-4224 4U Rackmount case with 24 hotswap bays Asus P8B WS Workstation Motherboard (Dual Intel 82574L Server NICs) Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 SAS Controller Core i3-2100 3.2 Ghz 1155 Socket CPU 8 GB DDR3 1333 RAM No video card WD Black 1 TB for OS 14 TB for Storage WHS 2011 (based on Win Server 2008 R2, only comes in x64 version - issue occurs as described above) I was hoping someone could provide some insight into this issue. If logs would be helpful, tell me what to provide. The memory usage for the Mediaportal process doesn't seem to be the issue. Rather, the problem is that the kernel paged memory skyrockets until there is no more free memory, at which time the system becomes slow and unresponsive, requiring a reboot [/QUOTE]
