Duo2 memory leak

[d2mac]

I've had the issue (at least) since late VIX 4.x and as well 5.x

The problem description:

-Then viewing of HD channel recording, the viewing starts to jam for second or two every few seconds , when there is some other (timer) recording is running on the back.
-After FW upgrades unit has worked normally some weeks.
-Next assumption was bad PSU. I replaced some suspicion capacitors
-After PSU 'fix' unit has worked normally some weeks.

Now with VIX 5.4.009 (updated 2021-03-31) the symptom hit again, I started to wonder if the problem would be memory leak.
-I restarted the Enigma2 via menu
->The behavior remained, HD recorded viewing was jamming.
- I restarted the unit via menu, keeping mains power on.
->Unit works normally, HD viewing doesn't drop the frames with parallel recordings.

go back to 5.4.007 .Had the same problem on 5.4.009. Stuttering.Here it was with the softcam. Reflashed with 5.4.007 and all fine again.

I don't recall if I had .007 but at least the .004 one.

Well, now I programed ones a week auto restart probably that'll do the trick if my hypothesis is correct. The after the month or so I'll be wiser.

That issue was probably caused by you using the wrong version of Oscam. Did you ever try out the advice given to see if it sorted it out?

Yes all Oscams work with earlier versions, you are correct. I notice that an update to softcammanager.py was done 19 days ago in the Openvix GIT ... presumably and hopefully it addresses this ongoing Oscam freezing and stopping issue, and will be added to 5,4.10 shortly.
Can anyone confirm this?

No, just a code tidy up.

Please keep the oscam/softcam posts in one thread.

I've no encrypted channels nor additional stuff installed for them.

Just Autotimer, EPG, IMDb, Photo viewer, LCD4Linux, FW update, Media scanner, OpenWebif and TranscodingSetup. So very vanilla.
Maybe only 'exceptional' thing is Autotimer with +150 items.

..... how often does autotimer run?
