What do you do to minimize ram usage?

  • Hello.

    Like many of you I have the memory issue with my 1gb ram box. It gets bad when browsing media of course, and I believe it's due to the fanart and thumbnails being cached into the ram and then never released.

    I was able to change the skin to not display background fanart, and that has improved browsing memory considerably. However it will eventually lock up if I continue browsing through.

    I don't have an issue with it not releasing the video cache after playback.

    I disabled thumbnails and fanart by setting the maxres to 0 in advancedsettings, but it is still using up a lot of memory.
