Got several Out of Memory on system that hasn't changed in awhile

[graywolf]

Started getting Out of Memory several times today.
System/settings hasn't changed for quite awhile
Took a complete backup of the SageTV folders.

Recommendation on which files to look at to find the culprit/issue?
Other than Sagetv_#.txt

I'm also having memory issues. I'm blaming my 8TB and 2 4TB drives. I think the file system is overhwelming SageTV.

It's likely you're not giving SageTV enough memory. Go into your SageTV System Information and check your JVM Heap Size. If the Used/Total/Max values are really close to each other you need to increase your max heap size.

Make sure your wiz.bin hasn't grown abnormally.

If it's a heap memory issue 9.1.10 uses more than previous versions.

Also, consider giving 64-bit a try and your heap problems will be no more.

They are about the same, over 1000. I don't think 32-bit Java has room for much more. I set the registry to 600 hex.

Yeah, I think you've hit the 32-bit brick wall.

This is the reason I moved to running SageTV as a Docker on Unraid. SageTV's memory use is one of my reasons for moving to abandon SageTV for Plex.

How big is abnormal? I installed 9.1.10 while trying to fix this issue. I think I will need to install 64-bit, and hope I can get my USB-UIRT working.

Hundreds of MB would probably be abnormal. Less than 100MB would seem reasonable. Mine is 60MB after ~10 years.

USB-UIRT should work the same and at least 2 others have it working.

I actually have Plex installed on this box.

Looks like it ships in the next beta

After all the commotion I guess I forgot they weren't already in there. The next beta will be after the New Year when the installer guy returns. In the meantime, PM me if you want to get it running. It's as simple as copying 2 DLL's and then the same setup you would do on a 32-bit system after that.

It's definitely corrupt, over 350 meg and 64-bit had to chew on it for several minutes to make sense of it. I ended up losing a few months of records going back to a rather stale backup. I can see where I'm going to need to use 64-bit though.

I have the 64bit version installed and it is great - and the USB-UIRT works - I have 2 STBs with 2 USB-UIRT units and no problems (no problems, that is, after I remembered to run uurename.exe to rename the 2nd unit! and edit the .ir files to add DeviceNumber 1 and DeviceNumber 2!).

Running on Windows 7 x64
SageTV v9.2.0.0
Java v 1.8.0_191
Java Heap Size set at 4096
