[mythtv-users] LIVE TV-Out of memory

[Goktug.yildirim]

Hello,

I have a weird out of memory situation. I am working hard to solve but no success yet.

I have minimyth 0.19-14 frontend which is a mythtv distro from linpvr.org.  Hardware is a diskless EPIA M10000 and has 512MB RAM. Mythtv version is release-0-19-fixes branch svn 10505.
Backend is Slackware 10.2. Kernel is 2.6.17.7 and mythtv is release-0-19-fixes branch svn 10505. I have a Technotrend Skystar2 DVBS.

When watching Live TV every channel change in frontend results approximately 1MB of memory growth in mythfrontend process. Of course after a time when there is no memory left, kernel kills the mythfrontend process with an out of memory message. I have done a lot to understand what might be my misconfiguration but could not figure it out!
First of all I have tried different versions of minimyth which corresponds to different svns of 0.19-fixes. All of them are the same. Of course there is a thread in linpvr.org/forum but none has the problem except me. Since my frontend seems to be correct and tested by various people there must be something wrong with my backend. However I have no understanding how backend could cause out of memory in frontend; moreover backend seems to be OK.

I have some output logs both in frontend and backend but I am not at home right now. I will try to post some of them and any other log if it asked.

Any help or comment would be appreciated.

Thanks for your support,
