Created attachment 256735 [details]
Ouput when running gst-launch-1.0 in valgrind

This is on Fedora 20:

    gstreamer1-1.2.0-1.fc20.x86_64
    gstreamer1-libav-1.1.3-4.fc20.x86_64

The file I'm trying to play is an AVI file, video is MPEG4 and audio is MP3.

Can you attach or otherwise provide a file that reproduces this behaviour?
Comment 2 Mathieu Bridon 2013-10-14 14:42:09 UTC 
I've been able to reproduce it with this Big Buck Bunny video:

Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-10-14 17:30:49 UTC 
Could you update gst-libav to 1.2.0 too? Also is this linked against a system version of libav or using the one included in gst-libav?
Comment 4 Mathieu Bridon 2013-11-15 16:35:00 UTC 
Sorry it took me so long.

I now have updated to:
gstreamer1-1.2.1-1.fc20.x86_64
gstreamer1-libav-1.2.0-1.fc20.x86_64

And I can't reproduce this any more with the videos I tried.

So I guess the problem had already been fixed upstream, I just needed the latest version. :)

Sorry for the noise, closing.

Great, thanks for re-checking and confirming it's no longer a problem.
