I'm not sure what's changed so that's why I'm posting here as I'm at a loss at how to fix this issue.

XBMC log - LOG FILE

XBMC cannot go more than 15 minutes of video playback without crashing. I believe it's a memory leak because if I monitor 'top' then the memory usage goes up to 71% and then everytime, it crashes. Restarting XBMC immediately resolves the issue.

Here's a screenie of my 'top' whilst XBMC has been running for only 15 mins yet using the debugging log onscreen display it's telling usage is 183mb / 2gb. What's going on?!


I'm running this on Arch Linux. I've posted in their forum but they sent me here... I'm not sure but I think X may have updated recently, is there any easy way to tell or rollback my X version?

I've also tried uninstalling XBMC completely and building from xbmc-git which didn't help at all.

Advice welcomed. Thanks.

FYI - it appears the issue is resolved by downgrading libnfs from 1.7.0-2 to 1.6.0-1.

Code:

1)  community          libnfs-1.7.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    2)  community          libnfs-1.6.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz *installed*

Nice. Does this mean I can upgrade again?

probably. Lets us know how it works out, we still use libnfs 1.6

Had some problems downgrading libnfs, so just wanted to mention that installing 1.8.0 from source does indeed seem to fix the issue.
