Chuck up the XBMC log, located in /root/userdata/.xbmc/temp. I think you will find this is fixed in master though and when this is merged into pvr-ppa48 the problem will be solved. Try building master then seeing as you now know how to compile for Crystalbuntu.

I know this thread is old, but I think is still relevent to the leak I've been encountering and would like a little more info.
Using XBMC 12 Frodo RC 3 and encounter a definitive memory leak at random times when using the mediaportal pvr (watching live tv).
I say definitive because in seconds, all available RAM is consumed and I guess stuff is shoved to the pagefile and it takes forever to close XBMC or terminate it with Program Manager which also takes a lot of time to even come up obviously.
I have 11 crash reports that are 0 bytes and 3 that have content.
I created the advancedsettings.xml and changed the loglevel to 3, but I'm not seeing any evidence of memory reports in it.
This is my first time looking at the log file and see some ffmpeg errors that may be related to a poor OTA signal tonight.
I'll keep my eye out for errors when I have good reception and it still encounters a memory leak.
Is the leak going to be logged? Why are only a few of those crash reports containing data?
To go along with ankn's update about a slow leak, I have seen that as well and just restarted XBMC.
A fresh start is about 58 MB and I've seen it around 500 MB before, but those quick leaks shoot up to > 2 GB.

i don't see any obvious leaks here with pvr.hts, and valgrind doesn't show anything special either.

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

a leak would mean that this memory isn't freed. that's not happening according to valgrind with pvr.hts, so it's not an issue with xbmc as far as i can see. try asking for help in the forum section for mediaportal

Right you are. I completely removed MP, disabled and uninstalled the MP add-on, installed NPVR 2.5.9, enabled it's add-on, performed the previous steps that caused the memory blowup and nothing bad happened.
