What I have noticed so far is this. If I keep the live view paused my system Blueiris Ram utilization stay about 4gb or so when I unpause the live view the ram utilization goes back up to 10-12 gb ... Then when I paused it back it stays there only way it goes back down is if say I restart the Blueiris service and then if I unpause the live view off course it goes back up again..

I know this is blasphemy but maybe an Nvidia card, while taking additional power, might be worth a try. I use them and have yet to experience any memory leaks but I do experience higher electric bills. To me, it's a fair enough trade off compared to the time and aggravation of fighting with Intel drivers on a semi-regular basis.

I'm completely out of touch with video cards these days, what would be the lowest model of Nvidia that would work. Low profile required.

Yes I am definitly willing to try this.

@looney2ns I'm not very current with them either, TBH. I'm running a RTX1060 and it seems fine. I got caught in the Nvidia box when Ken was talking about Nvidia for HA back in the version 2 or 3 days. It's been so long I can't remember. The 1060 can draw up to 100+ watts under full load, but the load from about 15 cameras is only around 10% according to GPUZ.

@HEVNBND Yeah, the GTX1060. Like I said I'm not upon this stuff. Just bought the latest and greatest when it came out and that was a few years ago already. Prices sure have dropped on it since I bought one. I have the full height, dual fan model.

UPDATE:
Since disabling HA, memory is running steady at 2.4 MB with 11 cameras. Seems enabling HA causes BI to leak memory on my setup.
Upon further review... apparently it's not HA. Man, this is so frustrating. If had to leave town for a few days I wouldn't be able to get BI back online once it uses all the RAM and locks up the PC.

Running BI version 5.3.7.4
Intel graphics 4600 driver Intel 20.19.15.5126 – used for BI graphics processing only.
NVIDIA Geforce GT710 – display only, NO BI graphics processing.
CPU Intel 4790, 16 GB memory

14 cameras and 12 clones, 5 cameras using sub streams, 500 MP/s, CPU at 20%

BI Service memory vs run time
Day 1 – 2949 MB
Day 5 - 3410 MB
Day 11 – 4197 MB

Note: I did a find inspect on all cameras after upgrading to 5.3.7.4

All these rapid-fire releases makes me think he's trying different things to fix it... at least I'm hopeful! :)

As a software engineer and manager with 45+ Years experience, I will say that finding memory leaks is a major PIA. This is particular the case when you are using libraries that you do not have the source code to. Also different processors and hardware will be using different software within the same library. A major PIA.

One of my favorite expressions "TEST DO NOT GUESS" .

Ken says that he found and fixed a memory leak. But it should have only affected those that were using remote management and loading lots of clips or alerts. I'm testing ver .15 now.

Everyone be sure and keep Ken up to date on your findings.

Quick question version .17 is also out. that some new version called 15 ? or is that previous .15

Also this is my ram on .15

One thing I can say is seems like .15 has it stable at-least instead of creeping back to 10+ 11+ gb .. Keep in mind I have about 30 cams..

5.3.8.15 is the one Ken asked me to test.

Just installed .17 and see less ram utilization but again it creeps usually up will see

Awesome, Thank you Looney2ns for that test too I will keep my eye out as well and will update if I see anything else..

Okay it feels like I am onto something.. Here is what I am finding now at-least with my .17

When I click on a camera which has sub stream as it switches to main stream seems like blueiris holds more ram and never let go off it.. and to my theory I click on bunch of cams to see view screen and back and fourth so far I have racked up.

To test my theory further on .17

HAHA racked up more I am glad I have additional ram to spare here..

@looney2ns can you please try on .15 this theory .. Basically go to camera main feed instead of sub like doing live watch and do it on all the cam and see if your ram keeps going up...

Have emailed Ken just now on this new finding as well.
