Thanks for your help EnTerr!

I'm trying as you suggested, after stop, when i enter 'bsc' a ton of stuff scrolls by, all sorts of things: roAssociativeArrays, roStrings, roInts, roVideoPlayerEvents
but what does this tell me; can i find what's referencing and clear up all this stuff?

BrightScript Debugger> bsc
                 roGlobal refcnt= 1
        roIntrinsicDouble refcnt= 2

        roIntrinsicDouble refcnt= 1
        roIntrinsicDouble refcnt= 1
        roIntrinsicDouble refcnt= 1

                 roString refcnt= 1 [foreground]
                 roString refcnt= 1 [EXIT_UNKNOWN]
                 roString refcnt= 1 [homescreen]
                 roString refcnt= 1 [3000]
       roAssociativeArray refcnt= 5
       roAssociativeArray refcnt=24
. etc...

here is the summary;

Having a bunch of event objects (roCaptionRendererEvent and roVideoPlayerEvent) seems unusual to me.
Are you storing references to those events when your receive them?

Also, 2573 roDateTime seems extreme.
Perhaps you could track through the creation and storage of some of those objects, to see if they are being references from some global data structure unnecessarily?
