Title:
13.04 huge gvfsd-http memory leak using totem
Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On 13.04 with Totem 3.6.3 and gvfs 1.16.1
If I use Totem to view an HD program using the local URL:
http://smeagol:80//mythweb/pl/stream/1843/1375919940 then there is a
long wait while the file is first loaded into gvfsd-http, then it
plays. gvfsd-http process grows to 4.2G (resident since I have 16G
ram). If I exit Totem, gvfsd-http is still using 4.2G. If I reopen
Totem and play the same file, there is again a considerable wait and
the memory size doubles to 8.4G for a short period of time, but then
drops back down to 4.2G as the video starts playing. Needless to say
the CPU and I/O are throttled during the caching. If I am stupid
enough to play a two hour HD movie then I seen my Virt memory hit
17.5G and my resident memory hit 12G. The machine is very sluggish at
this point because it is paging 5.5G. Of course stopping Totem does
not free up the memory.
I can work around the problem by killing the gvfsd-http process. I can
also use VLC instead of Totem.
