Try the following: - compile VDR and plugins with no optimization (-O0) and debug information (-g3) - run VDR with valgrind valgrind --tool=memcheck /path/to/vdr - analyze valgrind's output and report or fix any leaks. - you won't find any noticeable leaks in case this issue is a matter of the DVB drivers (kernel).
