</div></div>Yes I've seen this also it's caused by MythWelcome slowly leaking<br>
memory which causes the slow down and eventually it's killed due to lack<br>
of memory. It only seems to happen if mythfrontend has been started and<br>
mythwelcome is waiting for it to exit.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Ahhh, coool. cheers. I've not seen it be quit (as that would take X with it) but slowdown sounds very possible.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
It's something that has changed very recently. I suspect it's something<br>
to do with the new timer stuff leaking resources when the main thread is<br>
stopped waiting for the FE to exit but that's just a guess. The other<br>
thing that changed recently is the adding of the two MythUIClock widgets<br>
which could also be leaking memory. The easy way to eliminate them would<br>
be to just comment them out of the mythwelcome theme file.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I'm assuming this is in 'welcome-ui.xml' in share/mythtv/themes/default? I've commented out the :<br><br> <clock name="date"><br>...<br> </clock><br>
<br> <clock name="time" from="date"><br>...<br> </clock><br><br>sections? I assume these are the correct ones? I'll report back.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
If you could run mythwelcome under valgrind that would be very useful to<br>
see where the leak is otherwise you will just have to be patient and<br>
wait for me to find time to track down the problem.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Assuming I don't forget between now and bed I'll leave it running in valgrind overnight. :)<br><br>Dunno if it's any help, but I've seen the same issue with mythfrontend (when quitting XBMC launched from it). I don't see it in mythfrontend if it remains the foreground process though.<br>
<br>Cheers for the help.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
