Hi all,

I am having some trouble with minidlna where the cpu usage is high and there is the following error in the log file:

Any idea what these means and how I could fix it?

What version are you running? You can run 'minidlna -V' from the command line. For what its worth, I'm currently running 1.0.16.3 on a non-Raspberry, Ubuntu based system without problem.

You (obviously) have a dynamic memory allocation failure when one or more of your files is being processed. You could try removing from its config the directory that follows your videos collection, which did complete successfully, and isolate it to a specific media type. Looking at the source code, and without a trace of code execution, its not possible to glean much info. You could wander over to sourceforge armed with your version and configuration and post a query there.

seems you ran out of memory!
