XBMC on ubuntu started yesterday before midnight.
Then it was sitting there and scanning the library, all ok.
But suddenly at 7 AM it went havoc and decided to eat all ram:
It had eaten 16GB or ram and kept going, the rest of the system went to swap, eventually 16GB RAM and 16GB of swap were just wasted by the app.
Tried to kill it it took a LOT of time to recover, but system was stable.
Not sure if it quit by itself when pressed exit, or if the kill or kill -9 worked.
I know that I have watchdog enabled, but there was not new files uploaded to the watched media libraries.
The only thing I can think of is XBMC auto backup that starts every day at 7AM.
I'll see if the issue persists, if so, I'll update the thread with extra info.
