Really bad memory leak on Mint 21 #254

Open shimatako opened 6 months ago

shimatako commented 6 months ago

Memory usage seems to grow, more or less, by around 5gb/day on my system. Sometimes (much) more, sometimes less, I havent found the cause yet. I did not have this issue with the old version on my Mint 19 system. I've tried both the flatpak port and the beta .deb, both have the issue. I am constrantly having to kill it once a day so I don't get OOM. And this is with 32gb of memory. Hope this can be fixed bc this is the only good music system I have found for linux. If there is any info I can supply that might help let me know.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I've been aware of some memory leaks for some time now, but I've had trouble finding the source, there are probably multiple sources. I did some tests last week and finally noticed that it's actually simply moving over some widgets and not some more visible actions as I was suspecting.

I currently suspect the SongList widget could be the main source of the leak, which is not recommended anyway with gtk3 as it is slower, I recommend using the SongTree widget instead.
