Memory Leak-Boxee hangs

[stergil]

I've had to restart Boxee now and then for a while now to restore proper performance. The video winds up tearing/stuttering and restarting Boxee clears it up.

I never looked into it much since 9 out of 10 times I could close Boxee from the menu and then restart it with my remote. I do not have a kb/mouse hooked up to my HTPC.

This time around Boxee locked up when trying to exit and wouldn't close normally. When I went to end the task I saw that Boxee was taking up more than 2gb of RAM.

Screenshot of the process list is attached.

Windows 7 64bit, Boxee v0.9.22.13692.

Most of my Boxee use is with local media. The few apps I use with any regularity are Pandora, Netflix, and Weather.

Yeah, I get the same hangs now and again.
Is it working normally and then upon shut down of boxee it hangs? OR
Is it performing poorly after being in sleep mode (pc or boxee) and a restart of boxee causes it to hang as well?

I get the shut down issue both ways.

Could you post a Jira but report with a copy of your boxee.log? (shamelessly, I have not) I searched Jira with "hang restart" and there are a few already listed there. You may want to just add a comment and your boxee.log to an existing one that matches most closely.

Be sure to get the boxee to do this again, shut down boxee, then grab the boxx.log file and submit it with your explanation. Technically, you should set boxee in debug mode and then replicate the issue then get the log file.

Then post a link for the report here so we can all watch/vote for it.
