An user is getting an Out of Memory error when using Advanced MAME Launcher. I did some tests, using the Windows Taks Manager I monitored the Peak Working Set (Memory) which roughly should be the maximum memory consumed by the Kodi process. I have a couple of questions:
1) In my tests AML memory peaks at 916 MB when building the databases. How is it possible that the user gets an Out of Memory error in a machine with 8 GB of RAM?
2) In one of my development machines I have observed that if AML crashes (which happens frequently during development) then it is much easier to get the Out of Memory error. For example, if I try to rebuild the database after AML has crashed I get the error. If I restart Kodi and rebuild the database again everything is correct.
I'm a little but puzzled about this memory problems
Can some core developer please tell me what's going on?
