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:

Hi,

  I can't reproduce that leak with 1.2.3 . Can you update and confirm ?
Comment 3 mike morrison 2014-03-17 21:32:54 UTC 
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.
