Resolume Forum

I have a weird problem with resolume that eventually causes it to crash.
after a little investigation i found out that after i start the program the process memory keeps increasing without me doing anything, after going over 1500MB the "low memory" message appears and when going over 2500MB the program crashes.
I know that this is 32bit software and its limited on memory use but why it increases like that? its like buffering endlessly.
alll files on project are DXV3.
anyway of knowing what causes the problem?
i have attached here some photos and videos.

Thanks

your video is set private,

how many dxv videos do you have in the deck?
are you sure, that no masks or files are png/jpeg or other formats than dxv?

fixed the private issue thanks.
i have something like 100 videos in 15 decks, it doesn't stopped me before, i'm running with this show more than a year.
maybe one or two jpegs.

Hmmm. That looks like a real memory leak.

Memory problems caused by unoptimised file formats would show a single increase of RAM with each file. This one seems to be steadily rising, seemingly without you doing anything else besides playing a single clip.

Could you contact us directly via the Feedback tab of the Preferences?

Please and thank you

I will do that after the weekend, thanks

problem solved,
i've uninstalled resolume and deleted resolume folder in program files and in My documents.
i have reinstalled resolume and now everything is back to normal.
my guess is that i had some 3rd party plugin that causes the problem.

Thanks

for the last few months ive been battling a memory leak with resolume, causing major frame-rate issues until i run out of memory. the frame-rate would drop every couple of seconds at first into the high 50's then worse and worse into the 30's as the memory use-age climbed, causing a noticeable hang in the video playback worsening obviously with the drop, each time this would happen i noticed the memory usage would climb a little.
playback is all files DXV, and this would happen with any amount of clips in composition, would even happen with only resolume generated sources such as lines, gradients, or solid colors, so i doubt its file related.

during show time I would watch the RAM continuously climb until a memory warning would appear in resolume, and the video would hang so frequently that it looked like there was an effect on. i would be forced to re-start the program mid-show and count down until it happened again (pretty annoying)

Today i saw an older post about resolume 4.1.7 and some one saying they solved a similar issue by turning off OSC send/receive.
I just tried this, and as soon as i restarted resolume the memory leak was gone, i have been running for 3 hours straight with no issues. (used to run out of memory within 45 minutes)
i have tried to re-create the issue by re-enabling OSC data, but the memory leak hasnt returned.
