Subsonic Forum

When subsonic is left in the home/random screen it slowly grows its memory footprint. I noticed this using chrome. In chrome watching the task manager, the memory grows by ~1.5KB every time the random screen refreshes. I have left it for a while it it will happily grow to >500MB of ram.

I am experiencing a similar issue (Subsonic 4.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.4), though I have not tracked it down to individual page refreshes, my subsonic client consumes a never-ending supply of memory. I have a very large library (100k+ songs indexed), however, I have not had this problem with Subsonic 3.X - on which I increased my memory allotment to 256 MB, it hovered happily around 180 MB, whereas with 4.0.1 it grows substantially beyond that level (400+ MB).

Again, I am not sure if I am experiencing the same issue as you (cuanva), it is at least similar. I'm interested to see if anyone has a solution - or perhaps an explanation of what is causing the issue.

I hardly ever leave my home/random screen on while playing songs, and only click through to play new albums. I also use Chrome, which auto-refreshes every 20 minutes or so (though I don't know what subsonic does normally).
Thanks, drydeniv.

first of all that randomized album display is so unnecessary perhaps you can offer a way to turn it on and off.

Furthermore the actual browser window display for subsonic is pretty restricted, some more flexibility like by increasing and decreasing the sizes of the frames/boxes on the template would be great.

The memory leak is a big one ... I have noticed a 60-MB footprint for subsonic within firefox (most current versions of both) and on top of that resource usage the software does not actually play the music ...
