    how to disable plugin whilst preserving settings

    So I notice lately my solo2 is getting lots of lag in operation where it shouldnt, struggling on basic things like switching channels and streaming to pc, it even takes over 20 minutes to update EPG.

    I went into the ssh terminal right after a recording I was watching over lan to pc just stopped. It took nearly 2 mins for top to even load and wasnt refreshing on time.

    My observation was that enigma2 was using almost all the ram (these boxes dont have much ram).
    There was also a lot of sys and wait cpu usage, but cpu was not 100% utilised, I have not found anything like iostat or gstat for vix so am unable to check i/o load specifically.

    I was able to download the recording over ftp fine with all this lag at over 300mbit/sec so the hdd and network itself clearly not a problem.

    I killed enigma2 process, and it restarted and suddenly all lag was gone. After killing it instead of using 510 meg of ram the process is now only using 145 meg of ram.

    I suspect a plugin is causing enigma2 to memory leak, as the timing is coincidental. The plugin itself was a pain to setup and configure and even needed online activation. So I rather not just uninstall it and have to go through all that again.

    Is there a way to disable a plugin whilst at the same time preserving its config so when reenabled it is back as before I disabled it?

    Thanks

    There was an issue on OpenWebIf for memory leak while playing over LAN. I don't know if it was fixed.
