[mythtv-users] MythFrontend out of memory problem

[Kenneth Emerson]

Looking for a little help from the group:
I'm running v31 fixes on Xubuntu v20.04 and have recently and only
occasionally have the kernel kill mythfrontend.re for the reason of "Out of
memory".  It has happened 3 times in the last 4 weeks and a total of 6
times since 2020.  It's not a show-stopper, as it does recover after about
5-10 minutes (I assume that's the amount of time it's using chewing up all
the RAM).   There isn't anything of interest in the mythfrontend.log file.
Just normal stuff while watching a recording.  This is a snippet from
kern.log specifically about mythfrontend:

Has anyone else seen this anomaly?
