Hi,
I'm experiencing memory leak during playback of videos in XBMC Eden 11.0. I'm running Mountain Lion on the latest Mac Mini, 2,5 GHz model with ATI Radeon 6630M graphics and 4 GB of RAM.
Whenever I start XBMC the memory usage shown in the system info is 31%. When I start playing a movie, the memory usage rapidly increases and within half an hour into the movie the memory usage has reached 100%. This leaves just between 10-15 MB of free memory. I first noticed this when I finished watching my first movie, as the GUI was almost impossible to navigate as it became unresponsive.
Looking in the activity monitor in OS X, it shows the same amount of free memory as XBMC (10-15 MB). However, the "inactive" memory is more than 2,5 Gb. Also, in the XBMC process the amount of "real memory" is only around 300 MB.
The memory usage will start to decrease, extremely slowly, when the movie is stopped. The movies are on an external USB hard drive and what's strange is that if I unmount the drive, all memory becomes available instantly, and XBMC shows 31% again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue using Mountain Lion?
I have reinstalled XBMC (also deleting the XBMC folder in Application Support) and I have even made a clean install of Mountain Lion, but the issue remains. I haven't installed any other programs in OSX, or add-ons within XBMC.
