1.4 - Memory usage is increasing slowly all the time

Postby Dreamer » Mon Oct 29, 2007 1:26 pm

Memory usage is increasing slowly all the time. Timeshift is disabled!

It's 80MB at start, after few seconds 93MB, after one minute 113MB, after 1 hour (at the same FTA channel) 213MB. :? After channel change it's about 80MB, then increasing again.

19.2°E 12460,H,27500 imusic TV (BetaDigital) 4:2:0

Video Codec.....: InterVideo (v4.0.5.43 - 23. 5. 2002)
Audio Codec.....: InterVideo (v4.0.11.83 - 25. 2. 2003)
H264 Codec......: ATI MPEGVD (v9.15.0.233 - 13. 7. 2007)
Video Renderer..: Video Mixing Renderer 9
Audio Renderer..: Default DirectSound Device

Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB RAM, ATI RX800 256MB, HDD 320GB SATA II, SB Audigy 2, SkyStar 2 r2.3, Monitor LCD Samsung 215TW 21", Dish-Offset 120cm...
Software: Windows XP SP2, DirectX 9.0c, ATI Catalyst Driver 7.10, ATT, TechniSat DVB 4.4.1, IE7, Abakt, avast! Antivirus, Avant Browser, DVB Dream, FFDShow, Free Download Manager, FreeCommander, HotkeyP, Kerio Personal Firewall, Media Player Classic, Nero, OpenOffice.org, Photofiltre, PTBSync, Skype, Spybot, Trillian, Xnview, ZipGenius...

Same(?) issue reported in the beta test forum by ScanMan, for the version 1.4 beta 7 - released just few hours before the final version.
While watching the Taskmanager secondary i noticed a curious behavior:
DD starts with a memory amount of roundabout 115 MB !
Nearly every 1-2 second, this amount climbs up between 20-100KB !
After a few minutes 150MB will be overstepped - increasing becomes slower then but still happens continuosly.

What's that ? Couldn't be my interface...
Same happens with BDA-Native.
It seems to be a question of time the machine is running out of memory ?

Test-conditions: AMD 64 4000+, 2GB, SkyStar USB, XP prof., CPU-load for DD approx. 10%

Confirmed.

- Not related to BDA device (same issue with my PCTV Sat)
- Not related to modules (same issue with all modules disabled)

@Rel : Did you kept new array buffer structure in this release ? Perhaps, that's what causes this ?!?

EDIT : I confirm that this issue is related to DS, in renderless mode memory, resources utilization is stable.

Confirmed, too....
Happens also with my good old 'evertime-working' SS2 and driver 4.4.0 by MiBi.
Must be something wrong in the new DDSOURCE.AX ?!
