Hi folks

Ever since day one really of checking the internal memory via cache flush on my 2 month old Xtrend I've noticed the memory is up to 97pc by the end of the day and I work all day. Even when I deleted most plugins. Is this normal? Everything set to save to hdd it came with from WOS.

Only had a few crashes while surfing the EPG.

Cheers

Are you sure Recordings etc. are being saved to the HDD. Just try pressing record on the channel your watching and see if it says ' disk full ' only a first guess but the path may not be what you think it is.

Why would you use cacheflush on an ET8000?
Cacheflush, I believe was used to solve a VU issue on old models
The E2 system tries to use as much memory on the box as productively as possible .... Thats why you have memory.

Ok but why It's saying So full? Just ignore and delete plugin then?

If you installed it then yes .... Otherwise ask the person who installed it why
The only issues with memory over use is impact to performance or crashes.
If you get a crash then post itso people can look at the issue...... Otherwise if everything is working leave alone :)

Are you saving EPG to internal flash memory?

No Abu

Twol, it was me who installed it as my last box needed it. Maybe a bug as it's ran up to 97/8pc since day one really? Anyone tried theirs?

Will it be worth your while uploading debug logs?

Sorry can you explain?

If memory is really full and I'm not using cache flush now I'll soon find out I suppose ;)

What is full? The memory (RAM) or the NVRAM flash (the file-system)?

If the former, a lot of it will be file-system cacheing, which is instantly discardable.

Thanks but I've deleted cache flush now.

It was whatever the white line was for in that plugin

Menu -> Main Menu -> Information -> Memory

There should be an report for both RAM (Random Access Memory) and Flash

For each entry it should show the total fitted to your box and the amount still free of use

I ran cache flush earlier before deleted it. The memory tab is currently showing:

Ram
Total 506456
Free 12552
Buffers 1972
Cached 340736

Flash
Total 442
Free 362

That cache is file-system buffers. Most of it can be chucked away if something else actually needs memory. Think of it as (just being used while nothing else needs it).
(It's the same if you have 512GB of memory - a lot of it gets used this way and I had to explain to users then that it didn't mean the system was running out of memory and they could run 3 processes each needing 120GB of RAM).
