Long running vpu task with memory leak bug on imx6

michaelb_ — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 06:38:19 GMT

I have an app that shows a long running RTSP stream (h264 encoded). gstreamer pipeline is as follows:

gst-launch rtspsrc location=rtsp://axis-cam1/axis-media/media.amp ! rtph264depay ! vpudec low-latency=true ! mfw_isink axis-left=40 axis-top=20 disp-width=960 disp-height=540 sync=false

In parallel my app does some other stuff and also play some videos or also short RTSP streams. This works very nice.

After about 1,5 hours, though, all temporary gstreamer activities that are started in parallel to the long running task no longer get any VPU memory. This is the error:
