Memory leak in Replay Gain?
« on: July 29, 2002, 08:39:10 pm »

Hi,

tonight I was replay gaining about 4500 songs. Better said, I was trying. Because after he did about 2300 I got memory errors (out of memory or similar) and MJ hang. Then I kicked the task out of memory and restartet and MJ processed another couple of hundreds.

I was wondering if anyone has the same problem and if my guess with the memory leak is right.

Besides. 4500 MP3s. Some waves.

Mirko,

Check your event log.  I had exactly the same problem twice before and I just noticed yesterday that my Ultra/ATA disc controller controller was throwing timeout errors at exactly the instant replay gain analyzation went crazy.  It's possible that MJ is not catching or handling IO errors properly.

Mirko,

You're lucky that you got to process 2500. I can only get 100 or so before it starts hemorrhaging memory.

This problem was reported by myself and many others some weeks ago, but Nikolai has not seen fit to acknowledge its existence.

Same issue as John. However I've been using mp3gain, which of course adjusts the file itself, and not just the playback settings.
Seems to me I'm better off correlating playback volume within the file rather than relying on the program to do it. Any disadvantages to mp3gain that I'm missing?

I have checked the system event log. But the only entry in the questionable time is "Out of virtual memory". About 2:32 after I manually started replay gain.

John, your language suggest that we owe you an apology.  Let me try to explain why we haven't apologized.

First, not all bugs are ours.  There are plenty of known bugs in Windows, in drivers, in other applications.

Second, unless we can see it, we can't fix it.

Third, we are ten people with a million things to do.  Your priority may not be ours.

Lastly, many reported bugs are not bugs, so, particularly at the end of a development cycle, when we think things are pretty stable, we don't look as carefully as we might.

We will take a look again.  In fact, I had asked the guys to do that about an hour ago, before I saw your message.

That's right, blame everything on Nikolay.

I skill can't reproduce it.  What is your system info?  Are you using any special IDE adapters?

I Noticed this before, but i think J river Took Care Of This On A Later Build, I Did Not Notice It The Other Day When I Used It.

I Hope Everyone Is Using The Latest Version 8.0.336.

I Think There Was Two People Who Reported This Problem Sometime Ago And They Reported Back That It Was There Video Driver That Was Eating The Memory.

Please test this decoder control and let us know if it's any better.

Download and move it into MJ install directory.

I have only been having problems analyzing MPC files.  Basically, the crash happens after about 10-15 files are analyzed.  I installed the new decoder control and began analyzing a list of about 400 MPCs.  It crashed after 14 were done.  For some reason, it never crashes when I analyze MP3, OGG or APE.

Anyway, here's the error message:

Jim & Nikolay,

No apology necessary, and as a developer myself I fully understand the problems of developing non-trivial software applications on less than ideal platforms and I certainly don't expect you guys to suddenly drop everything and attend to this particular squeaky wheel :)

However, my comment was born from frustration. Like many other users, I have a large audio library that I would like to analyse for replay gain and, like many other users, I ran into the memory leak problem while trying to do so. So I duly reported the issue on these forums. So far so good. The frustration comes in because until now, as far as I can tell the response from you guys has been silence. I could accept a "cannot reproduce", but a complete lack of response is just plain frustrating.

Anyway, glad to hear you can reliably reproduce the problem - in my experience, that's 90% of the debugging battle.

You should know that my overall impression of MJ is that it is streets ahead of any other jukebox program I have tried, so any dissatisfaction I express on these boards is relative :)

I can't reproduce my driver timeouts with enough reliability to say.  I'll continue to test though.  Hopefully someone who can more easily reproduce the problem can say.

Nikolay - Looks like it is now fixed. See below.

I did replay gain analysis on 106 files earlier this morning (running v334) following a visit to Emusic, and I hit the memory leak around 70 files or so. I upgraded to 336 and then updated the decoder.ocx and re-ran the analysis on the same files.

I watched memory usage in Task Manager. With MJ playing in the background memory usage started at around 12Mb. As replay gain got underway it crept up to 15Mb after 15/20 files. After 50 files
memory usage was at 15.6Mb. After 70 files it was 15.8Mb. After 106 files it was 15.8Mb and then it dropped to 13.9Mb after completing.

Interstingly the radio gain and peak level this time through was (sometimes wildly) different from the levels recorded earlier? Is this because of the new decoder? Do I need to reanalyze all my files?


What gives?

Well For Whats It Worth

I Started MJ, Loaded Up About 2800 Files

Then Looked At Memory Used For MJ 106,304K

After 400 Files

Memory Used Is 101,048

When I Hit Stop I Did Noticed I Did Not Get Control Back From MJ After 15 Mins I Closed MJ.

Should I Have Waited Longer?

Yeah, I had that happen a few time last night as I was testing.  Pressed Stop but none of the other buttons re-enabled and I had to kill MJ from the task manager.  Seems to happen about 1 in 4 times.

Updated MJ to version 8.0.336 and downloaded the new decoder.ocx.  Started analying list of 400 MPC files...crashed after completing 14.

My computer finished all 2,800 mp3s, no lockups (only when I pressed "STOP")

Windows xp did give me a warning I think is was that the virtual memory was low.

when looking the memory the program was using thru the program manager it was lower.

this is using the new ocx

So far so good. This morning I analyzed about 70 files. I have had the leak bug on fewer, though it usually doesn't manifest until after analyzing 100|PLS| tracks. Tonight I analyzed about 180 before my wife decided she needed to do her accounts. I'm about to kick off the remaining unanalyzed files in my library (about 1200 tracks) overnight. If that goes without a hitch, I'd be willing to call it fixed :)

Wouldn't you know it, my overnight run failed after analyzing a little over a 100 MP3s.

So, the new decoder.ocx doesn't fix the memory leak bug.

Actually, Mirko, it may not be any different. You originally said that you only encountered the problem after analyzing over 2000 tracks. On my system, I get it after 100-200 tracks. My system is much less powerful than yours (PIII 450Mhz, 384Mb RAM), that might make a difference.

I also have a P4 system but have tried to stay away from self tweaking as i have windows XP. I ran my whole 3400 file MP3 library through MJ's replay gain thingy. I had no problem at all. I have RD ram and only 256M of it. Sounds like a Ram and/or Pagefile problem with the systems.
Hope this helps
