[xine-bugs] xine-lib-1.1.15: Application based on xine can take a lot of memory especially with HD movies

[Amaury De G. <ama...@gm...>]

Hi all,

If I play a movie of 1Go for ex., at the end of the movie my memory was nearly
full. I can see that xine take progressively memory as far as the movie goes
on.
I notice that it was only the case if mmap is used. Don't know exactly if this
is normal or not but it can cause some trouble while playing big movies (like
HD movies).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run kaffeine or gxine
2. play a movies (HD one for example)
3. wait and see, your memory taken by kaffeine or gxine will grows a lot.
4. See your swap usage after playing a 4Go movie ;-) (ok if you have 8Go of
ram...)

I'va also posted on the gentoo bug database: Bug #252741

Thanks for help.

Amaury
