Fanart/Covers memory usage?

[heffe2001]

I've noticed something since the fanart was added to SageMC, my memory usage on Sage has doubled (rigth now the SageTVService is running at 497m ram used, once it hits about 560ish, things slow to a crawl, and recordings don't happen anymore). Anybody else noticed that?

I'm in the process of importing Metadata from about 550 DVD's from DVD Profiler, and my current Sage server memory usager is 795m!! Looks like that might be the problem, not necessarily the fanart...

Edit 2:

Looks like Fanart is causing a small memory increase (depending on the size of the artwork), but it doesn't always release the memory after bringing up the specific artwork. The REAL memory hog appears to be the DVD Profiler data import. I was sitting at approx. 209m used, did one import (a single DVD import even), and memory usage jumped up to 340m, after the 2nd, it was at 370, the 3rd took it to 476m. It LOOKS like once the imports start, memory is held until Sage is restarted, never released. Has anyone else seen this particular issue? I was wanting to do an entire database refresh, but I just don't have the terrabytes of ram it looks like it's going to require, lol.

I use DVD Profiler with a few hundred DVDs and have never noticed any problem. I complete refresh takes about 20 seconds with no issues.

HTH,

SageMC will cache your art for faster loading and this can be configured within SageMC\Enhancements options. I have 500+ films on my server and refreshing never takes more than 1-2 mins, 50% have IMDB data and the other half is DVD profiler. My server memory usage sits around 1.17Gb out of 4Gb and so far I've not really noticed any slow down using extenders. Pc clients are different but are still super quick.

My machine is capped out at 2gb total ram at the moment, and once Sage gets much over 500mb, I start having recording issues (but it's from the network encoder machine) where the audio & video pauses every 30 seconds or so (in the recordings, not just in playback). I'm hoping with the server upgrade I'm doing next week, even if Sage hits 1g ram used, it'll be no problem...
