    Default Runs out of memory?

    I have had this strange situation numerous times now.

    After a while, whenever I start to scan for another it will just make my DM7020 (running PLi)go mental, resetting itself. Also it was very very sluggish in general. Image is less than two weeks installed

    I tried to to use Dreamset to do some stuff, no go, it gets a critical transfer error.

    BUT, I recalled a similar issue from before, and I went and uninstalled SCAM (I don't really use it). Hey presto it's all go again.

    Which leads me to my question. Is there some sort of RAM/memory type thing that causes this? I only have about 6 plugins installed. But I have around 190 TV channels set under all services?

    What can I do to fix this? Do I need to remove some of the channels I don't watch? (so many God channels)

    My 7020 is loaded to the hilt .. including SCAm, 3 x cccam versions and newcs and a shit load of downloaded and home made plugins.

    X-line skin early versions used to slow down my box, but that got fixed (thansk sayid)

    Now The only time I occassionally see the sluggish performance is when the oztivo xmlyv plugin is running in background downloading and updating epg. Thats why I run that in the middle of the night.
    if your issue is a memory leak .. a reboot fixes it and it slowly comes back ..

    mostly the 7020 doesnt need a swap file
    but a swap file has been a reasonable interim measure for memory issues until you work out where the problem is

    ok, thanks for the reminder nfnovice. I actually forgot to set a swap file when I reimaged it the other week. Have set a 32MB swapfile on my USB stick attached to it, will see if that makes it play a bit nicer.

    farking thing is doing it again



    I get this trying to write back anything at all, from scanning for new channels, updating the menu, installing new plugins etc etc

    I have fixed it in the past by uninstalling a download. But as NFNovice said, I shouldn't really need to do this.

    I did a reboot via telnet, made zero difference (Telnet is the only way of making it actually do the reboot properly)

    so is this a /var space problem as opposed to a memory problem ?

    what does df from telnet show you ?

    oh great, now I can't even get to the menu to go and uninstall a plugin to free up some space.

    Is there a way to allocate more space to /dev/root ?

    looks to me the box thinks you have changed the location of your /var directory and it does not know where to go to find it, and a very common error on multiboot (that is if you are using multiboot) boxes.

    ok. I don't run multiboot on this box any more, I blew it away last time I reimaged it.

    Any thoughts on what I could do to fix this?
