Exclamation 
Hi all, i use kodi many years, 2 weeks ago i update ubuntu from 16.10 to 17.04 and update to latest kodi from ppa, I make many tests to find reason.

When i playing TV channel in PVR-iptvsimple, process kodi.bin eats all available memory ( 6GB RAM) after 1-3 hours non-stop playing.
If i playing simple avi,mkv from HDD, Used RAM staying near 1,5 GB, and not growing.

In logs with enabled debug i cant find any interested information.

Help please.

At least line 211, 214 and 215 in your log is saying that your problem is not a Kodi problem as long as those repositories are installed/used.

Remove those banned repos, remove those addons which are installed from them, then try again and get us a new log if the problem still exists.

I tryed playing with clean master profile, without any addons, just install pvr-iptvsimple and add link to tv channel, same problem.

Problem in VDAPU acceleration, after update Ubuntu from 16.10 to 17.04 i get new version mesa-vdpau-drivers and vdpau-va-driver.
P.S. i have video adapter Radeon HD 6310

i install new repo sudo apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and disable VAAPI in kodi settings, reboot pc and now all ok! All memory used in pc ~1.3 RAM

Can you post a Debug Log please? VDPAU is perfectly fine for your hardware. VAAPI is not supported on 6310 via kodi anyways.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
