Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Am running Feisty Fawn (upgraded from edgy) on ibm thinkpad R40. Rhythmbox (0.10.0) seems to be leaking memory, might be something similar to <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/58372";>this one</a>, although it is marked solved. I use rhythmbox almost exclusively to play music off of a mt-daapd server, so I suspect that to have something to do with it. Right now, top claims the rhythmbox process is using 20% of my 1Gb (plus 2 Gb swap), ps -AF returns [EMAIL PROTECTED]/leit] ps -AF | grep rhy indridi 2014 1893 5 92178 227772 0 22:29 pts/4 00:01:58 rhythmbox The leak seems to be related to the format of music being streamed from the md-daapd server. When streaming .ogg or .mp3 files directly, the memory usage stays stable (although the memory it has already eaten isn't returned), but when playing a stream which is transcoded in .wav format before streaming, the memory usage rises continuously, e.g. now, approx 5 minutes later than the previous ps -AF, it now returns indridi 2014 1893 5 102601 276808 0 22:29 pts/4 00:02:02 rhythmbox Someone here might know if this is caused by rhythmbox, or maybe gstreamer. The bug isn't reproducible on Edgy Eft, since the rhythmbox version on edgy didn't play the transcoded streams from mt-daapd at all. regards Indriði Einarsson ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Rhythmbox leaks memory (possible caused by daap) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
