MC 30 Mac performance feedback [Solved]

(1/2) > >>

Maeghaus:
I would like to go over my experience with MC 30 Mac with one or more developers since the next full version is due out in a couple months. MC 31 Windows is in development now and eventually the Mac version will follow. My review is something I want to discuss directly and not through the general topic forum. I have a few tech questions as well. Thx.

Maeghaus:
Hello Media Center fans. I have a memory leak issue with MC 30 Mac. Its memory needs overwhelm my computer within a minute of opening the program. My Mac starts to shut down other apps to make rom for more memory but I shut Media Center down before my computer crashes. I've been dragging on getting this issue resolved with a lot going on and lately haven't much time otherwise to sit down and troubleshoot the cause.

I will attempt to recreate the low memory incident when running MC 30.

By the way, my handle is an old World of Warcraft avatar I started in January 2007. It is still around. I go on sometimes to play but I haven't had time for that either. What happened to free time lol.

JimH:
Are you using MC 30.0.93?

Maeghaus:
Hi Jim. The Mac version is 30.0.93 Silicon but am updating to v.95. Thx for the reply. It's been two weeks since I last posted. Sorry for the delay.

I ran a test tonight and include two snapshots of my M1 Mac Mini internal drive's available space. The first is what's available before running MC 30. The second is after MC 30 is open about five minutes. The problem doesn't seem to be the RAM. I think what's happening is that MC 30 is using up the swap memory until the disk is full and then using up the RAM. My main disk is small, 500GB. I manage to keep about 70-95GB free. MC 30 cut that down to less than 25GB within the first few minutes of opening. Maybe I should check possible allocation settings; I'm familiar with Windows swap settings but I've not been aware of any on a Mac.

Maeghaus:
I updated to Media Center 30.0.95 today but the memory issue still remains. In the few seconds I opened MC 30 after updating, it acquired 12GB of free disk space. I am getting it back now; it takes a few minutes. I know that version 31 is in development and that is taking up most of the attention. Any clue how to solve this problem? Maybe MC 31 Mac will do it but I am still curious.
