VU+ Kodi Support BH and XBMC

[paulus]

For the past few releases I have had problems with XBMC freezing and requiring a power-cycle just to get out. I think I have identified the problem but have no solution. When I install a brand new image ( last was Ten Belows backup of BH 3.0.1) and look in XBMC menu System/System info it shows "Memory used" at ~22%. After personalising the image and check again memory shows at 35%. The next morning (only overnight egp loading to USB) it shows 50%. Install another cam and it shows 100%. Uninstall the cam - still 100%, and when it shows 100% go to the only installed XBMC addon (Genesis) try to scroll through any menu and it will freeze, the screen will judder, no response to remote, need to power off from the back again!

What exactly is XBMC reporting under "Memory used"?
Anyone any idea where I am leaking this memory?

Answering the obvious first questions /.xbmc is on my hard drive, flash is about 88%, and picons and epg and on the USB.

Afraid i can't make much of this either buddy which i guess is why its still beta but its up to vu+ to fix this rather than any image team, BH 3.0.1 also seems to have its share of problems going by the amount of threads being raised on their board but sure things will improve with updates but the only problem i have had is the solo2 backup manager not working which i was able to work round and another had already reported it there but no response yet.

Probably obvious but Backup Manager also failed on Duo2. Ended up installing BackupSuite (to HDD) from the BH feeds.

Was tempted to keep 301 in flash but succumbed to the lure of returning to ATV.

Can confirm however, that no resources issue seen on the Duo2 either & that 301 runs like a banshee from my SSD via multiboot.

Just done an online update and backup still not working, Will post bug report on their home site if nobody already has.
