Songkong stops after many hours of running in an endless loop, before that it stopped completely stating there was a lack of memory
Songkong stops in an endless loop
Hi, yes the problem is that it is running out of memory, why you are having this issue is not clear and i will have to do some performance analysis to see if there is a an issue. But in the meantime you can increase the max amount of memory that SongKong has to hopefully avoid the issue.
Your computer has 16 Gb of memory, the maximum we use by default is only a quarter of that (4 Gb), and if you look at your screenshot above in the right hand corner you can see it says it is using 4,086 Mb of 4,096 Mb so it is hitting the max
We can double this to 8GB (it is not usually a good idea to go higher than 50% of total memory) as follows
-
Close SongKong
-
In Finder click on Applications:SongKong and select Show Package Contents
-
Select Contents folder, then right click on Info.plist and select with Open with TextEdit
-
Within TextEdit find this line
<string>-XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8m</string>
and the add following line below to set max memory usage to 8Gb
<string>-Xmx8G</string>
-
Within TextEdit select Save
-
Restart SongKong, in the bottom right hand corner of window it should now say 8,192 Mb for the second figure.
