[mythtv-users] mythfillldatabase, tv_grab_dk memory problem...

[anders smith]

I'm having a problem with mythfilldatabase... it used to work fine last week
It looks like memory usage (tv_grab_dk but also mysql) runs wild and
it take 4 hours to run and returns errors from xmltv...no data
imported into myth... I have 256mb ram, fc2, atrpms, pvr250 cards and
a c3 processor on a soyo 7vem board on the backend box.

Any hints or suggestions as to what I should/could do?

thanks
anders

In my dmesg I get the following meggae regarding memory that I think
might be a hint... ;-)
