High memory usage causing streaming issue

Hi,

Hope someone can help with this. I’ve done extensive testing and I’m pretty sure this is the issue.

I’m using Simple PVR client and have over 1500 channels within. If I launch a channe,l after a minute it will drop out and stop. If I watch the channel without launching via the PVR, after a fresh reboot, it plays for hours with no issue.

From what I can see, this is caused by the nearly 650MB used by the guide, as the Raspberry Pi’s memory usage spikes from 23 to 83%, and once the channel starts streaming, I’m guessing there isn’t enough remaining system RAM to cope.

Is this any way to free-up the memory used by the PVR client after launching a channel?

TIA.
