Hi, Laga, you have a very good memory :)
It looks as if the memory leak problem is solved, going through my memory usage log for mythtv-backend the last time I saw a memory utilisation of more than about 80Mb was on "Mon Aug 25 22:32:01" so the update to the weekly build from just after this date fixed it.

Can you confirm?

Status in MythTV: New Status in “mythtv” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: mythtv When recording from a "Satelco EasyWatch DVB-C MK3" DVB-C card I see a memory leak in mythtv-backend. The system seems to allocate about 0.2% of the 4Gb ram installed in the backend every minute until the memory usage rises to about 80% then the system starts swapping and becomes totally unusable. When the recording is finished the memory is not released. The only way to release the memory is to stop/start the mythtv-backend process. kernel 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux. My cable provider sends DVB-C in QAM256. The problem could be related to EIT and the option "Close DVB card when not it use". mythbackend version: 0.21.20080304-1 I've run the backend under valgrind and have attached the log file. Valgrind started with the following options:- valgrind --leak-check=full --error-limit=no --show-reachable=yes --log-file=logfile -v -- /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid --noupnp | tee backend.log Regards Ian Dobson -- memory leak in myth-backend on x64 when recording from DVB-C / qam256 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
