Description Patrick Balleux 2008-09-09 20:51:05 UTC 
When using ximagesrc to capture the desktop, the memory usage keeps increasing and is never released until the process is killed.

The rate is around 100kb/sec...


To reproduce:

> gst-launch ximagesrc endx=640 endy=480 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink


Play a movie or something moving so there will be movement in the video screen and monitor with the System Monitor

My system: Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 with GStreamer from the repositories of Ubuntu.

        * sys/ximage/gstximagesrc.c: (gst_ximage_src_start),
        (gst_ximage_src_stop), (gst_ximage_src_ximage_get):
        Stop leaking the cursor image.
        Unref the last_ximage and the cached cursor image on shutdown.
        Fixes #551570.
