Re: epgsearch plugin memory leak

    Hi Richard,

    
    unfortunately I'm not aware of any leaks, if so I would have fixed
    them ;)

    Perhaps you can find out in which circumstances the memory usage
    increases. Candidates are:

    - search timer updates, should not matter how you trigger them, e.g.
    via svdrpsend.pl plug epgsearch upds

    - timer conflict check

    - simply navigating through the epgsearch menus in OSD

    
    Using valgrind would also be a good way to search for the leaks.
    I've done this before too. But the leak may also depend on your
    personal usage of epgsearch (e.g. search timer settings,
    blacklists,...), and therefore did not appear in my valgrind checks.

    Feel free to send me your VDR configuration (*.conf,
    epgsearch-config-dir, epg.data) for testing.

    
    Cheers,

    Christian

      Hi,

        
        [ Apologies for using this list - the epgsearch bugtracker is
        broken ]

        
        I've been tracking down memory leaks on my server and narrowed
        down a significant leak in the epgsearch plugin

        Approx 500 megs / week is lost - recovered by restarting vdr. 
        I'd like to reduce this obviously.

        I updated from 0.9.24 to 0.9.25 beta 22 from git as a fix for a
        memory leak was mentioned in the changelog, but the leak is
        still about the same.  If I remove the plugin from the command
        line, there is no significant leak.  Attached plot shows.

        
        Anyone have any ideas?

        Thanks Richard
