GStreamer video loop memory leak

[marlonsmith]

Hi everyone,

I'm using kernel 3.14.28 and gstreamer1.0-plugins-imx_0.12.1 to play video, and I'm looping it using the about-to-finish signal of playbin.  When my application receives the signal, it sets the URI for playbin to the same file and the video loops seamlessly.

However, I'm getting a memory leak.  The application slowly uses more and more memory until the oom killer closes it.  Valgrind says memory is definitely lost but doesn't trace back further than g_malloc.

I've attached a copy of the test program here.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Marlon

gstreamer-imx plugins developed and supported by community, one

could post it on meta-fsl-arm mailing list
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-freescale
trac.gateworks.com/wiki/Yocto/gstreamer

Alternatively one can try nxp gstreamer plugins described in

documentation package (Linux Guide, Release Notes)  on

http://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L3.14.28_1.0.0_LINUX_DOCS&Parent_nodeId=13376994810717061... 

Best regards

Thanks for the reply Igor.

I'm curious, why are there two different sets of gstreamer plugins?  Is there any advantage to one version over the other?
