XBMC on ubuntu started yesterday before midnight.
Then it was sitting there and scanning the library, all ok.
But suddenly at 7 AM it went havoc and decided to eat all ram:




It had eaten 16GB or ram and kept going, the rest of the system went to swap, eventually 16GB RAM and 16GB of swap were just wasted by the app.
Tried to kill it it took a LOT of time to recover, but system was stable.
Not sure if it quit by itself when pressed exit, or if the kill or kill -9 worked.

I know that I have watchdog enabled, but there was not new files uploaded to the watched media libraries.

The only thing I can think of is XBMC auto backup that starts every day at 7AM.

I'll see if the issue persists, if so, I'll update the thread with extra info.

If read earlier about watchdog causing memleaks.. maybe investigate thsat..

After disabling XBMC Auto Backup, Watchdog and Library update, setting up Intel SNA, the issue disappeared.

Will try to investigate, I believe it's Backup addon.

Yes, please report back with your findings. If I were to lay odds, I would say Watchdog... so I'm curious to find out what it really is in your case.
