mmmm. While the transcoding software used (sox, flac lame or whatever) is always correctly closed, the size of slimserver.pl grows A LOT and the ram usage of slimserver.pl never goes down. So I'm pretty sure that it's leaving some handles/objects around open. And there is also a correlation that let me think this is the case: when transcoding a small file (mp3) che ram usage grows slowly, when transcoding a huge file (32/384k or DSD) the RAM usage grows extremely fast. But while I'm a dev, I'm not familiar at all with both perl (never used it) and how lms manages pipelining, so the only thing I can do is testing and reporting :/ https://audiodigitale.eu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simonef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113321 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
