tsdemux: Memory Leak when seeking in AVCHD file
Last modified: 2014-03-17 21:40:19 UTC
Created attachment 272114 [details] screenshot of memory leak after dragging the position slider back and forth for about 30 seconds I was trying to track down a memory leak in my program but soon found that it only happens with AVCHD files which made me think it may be a memory leak within GStreamer. I then tried the same file in Totem and noticed it has the same issue. Here are the steps to reproduce in Totem: 1. Open an AVCHD video file in Totem (I will try to attach one) 2. Pause the video 3. Open gnome-system-monitor and filter the processes list for totem 4. Drag the position slider back and forth while watching the memory usage of totem in gnome-system-monitor The memory usage will continue to climb until it eventually causes the program to hang or crash
Here is a dropbox link to a 5mb AVCHD file that causes gstreamer to leak memory when seeking: https://www.dropbox.com/s/muoaeu8ew56ykan/00167.MTS
Hi, I can't reproduce that leak with 1.2.3 . Can you update and confirm ?
I updated to GStreamer 1.2.3 and can confirm that my issue is resolved with this version. I can now generate thumbnails for 300+ avchd files without running out of memory.
Great, thanks for checking and confirming it's no longer an issue.
