Is it also solved, if I call kodi-standalone? because I have a similar issue.
The used memory rises nearly linear (see screenshot)
I am using Kodi 17.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I can confirm this with my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server and Kodi 17.4 installed
I use it for live TV with Tvheadend also on the same Server
After 2 hours of watching kodi crashes because of low memory
After restarting kodi the usage of the memory is about 15% and it rises and rises and rises

I'm facing this same issue, using Ubuntu server 16.04.3 x86_64 + kodi 17.4 + tvheadend.

As soon as i start watching any TV channel the memory consumption rises linear until i run out of it (4gb)

I'm running kodi-standalone throuth the systemd service script example (http://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:HOW-TO:Aut..._for_Linux), but modified it to launch the /usr/bin/kodi script instead just to check.

My /usr/bin/kodi script includes the line with MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 as stated by @wsnipex but the issue isn't solved.

Please can anybody assist with further? any of you managed to solve it somehow?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Nope I still have the same issue unfortunately..

Just in case it helps, i can tell that when watching tvheadend channel directly through VLC, it works flawlessly and the RAM consumption keeps stable.

So right now, as a workarround, I assume the only option would consist in downgrading to a previous version of kodi? I've never done it donno even if it's feasible?

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

In another forum (I don't now where anymore) other users have the same issue
One of them disabled deinterlace and all was fine, I can confirm this. I disabled deinterlace and memory consumption is stable. So maybe it's not a problem with kodi
