libvlc Memory Leak
Posted: 12 Oct 2007 15:45
Hot to reproduce:
Have an installation of VLC that has a working ActivvX-Plugin. Like 0.8.6c. The latest nighlies haven't got a working ActivvX-Plugin, so I can't tell if the problem persists in a recent version.
Save this HTML-Source as an .html file on your disc an use a valid Video-filename as filename.
Open this HTML page in the Internet Explorer. The video file must be playing now.
Open the Task-Manager an remind the used-memory value.
Hit the "Page-Reload" Button serveral times (wait about 5 sec. between each clicks). The memory usage will go up about 1 MB with each reload.
The problem doesn't seem to be an Active-X issues, as I checked it out with Quovodis.
