Getting out of memory after only 281 retrievals with IMDB script

Post by parodytx »

Hello new user here and love the program. I have searched the forum and the internet and cannot find any pertinent solutions. I have a movie listing of about 3000 entries. I have seen posts with users having in excess of 10 - 30 thousand records. I have set the pictures to download to a separate directory; but when I try to run the IMDB script in batch mode I get an out of memory error at 281 entries. I cut the initial catalog down to 300 entries and it still gives me the OOM. I am running Windows 11 with 16GB memory; machine rebooted no other programs running and it still gives me the OOM. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
It is possible there is a memory leak somewhere in the code involved there.
I'm not sure people so often run the scripts on large amount of movies.
The memory useable by the program is limited to 2 GB anyway (32-bit program).
Except suggesting running it on smaller batches of movies I don't really have a suggestion unfortunately, sorry :/

As I stated in the initial post I ran the program on a test run of 300 files with the same OOM error.

300 is maybe still much. Depending on the size of the images retrieved, and the amount of data handled by the script.
