Tvheadend

I'm running tvheadend 4.1-2484~g1fddf329a via a docker (linuxserver/tvheadend) on unRAID and getting crashes after recording about 3+ hours of 720p TV.

I suspect the docker is hitting RAM limits as I can see the docker's memory allocation just continually rising the moment recordings start, by 2MB/sec - long recordings may be hitting a limit.

I set the following debug traces on, but at the point of tvheadend crash, there is no log message of note

main,CPU,parser,TS,muxer,pass,mkv,subscription,profile,dvr,dvb,mpegts,linuxdvb

Are there any other debug traces that might assist with memory allocation/usage or similar potential crash causes?

Change the recording profile to sync + don't keep.

Thanks Mark,

That seems to have done the trick. Sitting around 44Mb mem usage regardless of number of recording tasks. Will keep monitoring to see how it goes.

Is this a bug in the System recording profile or just a problem with the tvheadend docker I'm using?

I honestly couldn't tell you, I've used system on my own machine (non-docker instance) & it's been fine. The same problem occurs on the RPi. May just be tvheadend being greedy with RAM, the system saying no & tvheadend throwing a wobblier as a result.
