Title: XScheduler using over 5GB Of memory since upgraded to version 20.
Post by: JerryPlak on July 05, 2018, 09:00:29 AM
Don't know if this is a bug or not  :o

On my one computer running Windows 7 Pro and looking at the process manager I noticed that XScheduler was using over 5GB Of memory since I upgraded to version 20.

Currently been running the XScheduler in idle mode, have not been running any schedules or play lists since the update..

I've shut down Xscheduler for 24 hours and will restart it tomorrow and let it run to see how it's doing.

Jerry I need you to be really precise here.

First I need your networks and xschedule file.

I also need to know besides starting xschedule up do you do anything at all. Does any schedule run.

Isolating leaks can be really hard.

The thunderstorms we were expecting last night when around our area.
I did start up xLights to check the files and notice that the media directory had changed I fixed that and played each of the sequence file individually.

Then I opened the Xscheduler and played each of the sequence then let it run idle overnight
around 830 last night the memory use was around 200 mb as you can see in the photo it's now over 4GB memory usage.

I've attached a photo of the task manager as well the logs

There's two things I'm going to try today #1

Set up a new directory such as Christmas/2018/ sequence name

#2 set up a schedule as I noticed in the Xscheduler log it was looking at the schedule every second.

I wonder if this is why Kaspersky was freaking out when I tried downloading and running 2018.20.  All I did was open the program and it asked if I wanted to allow xLights access to the audio stream.  I've never seen that question before so I said no and then it just started streaming all these popup for blocking xLights attempts to access the audio stream.
