Any updates to this? I can't use Watchdog because XBMC becomes unresponsive after being left open for a day with it enabled.

have a NUC i5 haswell, running win 8.1 64-bit with 8gb of RAM
Each morning, I have a dialog box waiting saying that my memory is used up and to close XBMC (12.2)
Running Aeon MQ5, last.fm, trakt.tv and a micasaverde plugin (note, have run these plugins previously on another box with no memory issues, older NUC i3)
I'll wait on 12.3

Not that you should have to do this, but you could restart XBMC each night at like 3am with a scheduled task. That's what I do because of another memory leak in Live TV. I don't like it, but I have to admit that it works perfectly.

It looks like 12.3 is right around the corner for release, perhaps I'll wait on that.
What's strange is that on previous versions of Windows, 12.2 I've never seen this pop-up
Do you use any shell replacement or just simply set XBMC in your startup folder?

I use XBMCLauncher to keep the focus on XBMC. I can't remember if I use it to auto start XBMC as well, or if it's a scheduled task or if I have a shortcut in the startup folder. The nightly restart just kills the XBMC process and restarts it. Somewhere in this forum is a nice little batch file that does it perfectly.

All these leaks with various add-ons are supposedly fixed in Gotham beta 2 with PR4290. Can anybody else who have had these issues confirm?

I installed Gotham Beta 2 last week and I have the Library Auto Update running (the only addon I've installed in addition to the default ones).
I'm still getting the "out of memory" errors from Windows (8.1), so it doesn't seem like it's fixed in Gotham.

*Bump*
I suspected this had something to do with some of the library add-ons I had enabled, but after disabling the ones I had downloaded the "Out of memory" message still appears.
Does anybody know if this is a known bug that will get fixed (or not) with Gotham, or if this is a new bug with the same symptoms as another bug that has already been solved?
