[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 809496, member: 82144"] Hi again I just hope that I can help with this problem - memory leaks are sometimes very hard to track down. Memory usage is not logged. The best thing to do is generally to strip back to basics as much as possible. If you are willing then it would be an *excellent* idea to try and use a memory profiler (like [URL="http://memprofiler.com/"]this[/URL] - free trial and tutorials) to track down the source of the leak. I understand - just trying to get an idea of your setup. The leak is on the TV Server side but it can be triggered by plugins on MP side if they are TV related. What you can do is restart TV Server and see if the leak starts immediately. For me, memory usage is *very* steady when I'm not tuning. Okay. The only other memory leak that I recall being reported in the past 6 months (or more) is -->[URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/television-mytv-frontend-tv-server-90/tv-server-memory-leak-1-2-0b-97873/"]here[/URL]<--. We didn't get very far with tracking down that problem, but rlevis is quite active on the forum so if you PM him and ask whether he still has the problem then I'm sure he will respond. I don't think you can turn off teletext, however teletext is only available with some channels. Question would be: does the leak occur if you don't tune channels with teletext (so the teletext parser is never started)? Leaks can have different behaviours. For example, if there was a leak in the tuning process then the memory usage would increase each time you change channel. A different kind of leak (that sounds like what you have) would be a leak in a background thread/process that is running even when you're not watching/recording TV. The main background processes in TV Server that I can think of are the EPG grabbers (DVB, XMLTV etc.), Powerscheduler, streaming server... I think that is all I can think of at the moment. You can only eliminate the EPG grabber and powerscheduler, but a leak in the streaming server *should* be less likely since I'd have expected more people to have this problem if it was that (also, you don't seem to have a multi-seat setup so the streaming server is not actively used). mm [/QUOTE]
