When running VLC as a stream server (streaming video input) it continuously consumes memory until it crashes due to lack of system resources. I reproduced it on 2 different machines all Windows but I believe people have the same problem on other platforms too
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=100658&sid=877ffa2ad539525fc9b1d4328e80a69a
Steps to reproduce:
- Start VLC
- Open file section (select some video file)
- Tick Save/Stream checkbox and Settings button
- Tick UDP and fill in some IP address
- Click OK and OK.
Make sure there is a video stream as input (AVI file or anything). If there is none the leak will not occur. Monitor the memory usage of VLC and you will see the memory usage grows.
It should be easy to find the leak. Let me know if I can be of any help
Thank you
