Hello,
i'm using freebsd 8.0. on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz. I compile from ports latest vlc-1.0.5_1,3.

Configure args:

./configure '--enable-vlc' '--enable-release' '--enable-avcodec' '--enable-avformat' '--enable-postproc' '--without-dv-raw1394' '--disable-dv' '--disable-galaktos' '--disable-glx' '--disable-qt4' '--disable-dbus' '--disable-gnomevfs' '--disable-notify' '--disable-skins2' '--disable-libtar' '--disable-loader' '--disable-jack' '--disable-remoteosd' '--disable-pulse' '--disable-fluidsynth' '--enable-zvbi' '--disable-hal' '--enable-vcd' '--enable-libcddb' '--disable-cddax' '--enable-cdda' '--enable-cddax' '--enable-dvbpsi' '--with-dvbpsi=/usr/local' '--enable-dvdnav' '--disable-dvdread' '--with-ffmpeg-faac' '--enable-faad' '--disable-flac' '--disable-fribidi' '--disable-aa' '--disable-dirac' '--disable-schroedinger' '--enable-x264' '--disable-lua' '--disable-caca' '--enable-dca' '--disable-ggi' '--enable-mkv' '--enable-a52' '--enable-libmpeg2' '--enable-real' '--enable-realrtsp' '--enable-theora' '--enable-live555' '--with-live555-tree=/usr/local/live' '--enable-taglib' '--enable-mad' '--with-mad=/usr/local' '--enable-mod' '--enable-mpc' '--enable-ogg' '--enable-ncurses' '--disable-smb' '--disable-sdl' '--enable-gnutls' '--disable-speex' '--disable-svg' '--disable-svgalib' '--disable-tremor' '--enable-twolame' '--enable-vorbis' '--disable-xosd' '--enable-debug' '--disable-v4l' '--disable-x11' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--mandir=/usr/local/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/info/' '--build=i386-portbld-freebsd8.0' 'build_alias=i386-portbld-freebsd8.0' 'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-g3 -g' 'LDFLAGS= -L/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/fake//usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -pthread -lc' 'LIBS=-lc' 'CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/fake//usr/local/include -I/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work/vlc-1.0.5/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ffmpeg '



When i try open simple mmsh (mmsh://stream1.france24.yacast.net/f24_liveen) or local udp multicast vlс permanently increases the size of used memory.

This looks like a bug. Patch welcome.

Problem was solved.
Problem was in FreeBSD 8.0. I install FreeBSD 7.3 and all leak was gone.

What are the VLC versions on it?

I use the latest version (1.0.5, 1.1 will not compile correctly on FreeBSD, or if you compile a problem with the installation, lua scripts are not copied, lot of manually fix make file to compile).

By the way problems with memory leaks resolved partially, but certainly not resolved completely. I accept the udp multicast udp://@239.0.1.1:1234 (IP TV) and then transcode to mmsh, vlc working properly about 10-14 hours, then the memory very fast growth (about 1 Mb in 10 sec), and that the most interesting is if in this moment (when vlc start leak memory very fast) i run vlc on another computer to test my transcode stream i see lost sound output. It seems that the audio packets are simply stopped transcoding and not coming, only video packets. May be bug in muxer?

I use a transcoding mmsh.
#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=650,fps=10,width=320,height=240,acodec=wma2,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:
