Hi Dan,
What you suggested (setting to nil) has never worked for me in the past.
I just created a little test to showcase this here
https://gist.github.com/pferdefleisch/1e448e3257837ebeb2b3
My memory is never released. It stayed in my test with 100 short .movs right
around 200MB with 0.0% CPU.
I also tried something that I found on the SWIG page with the mlt.i file (you
can see in the gist).
Since there seems to be no garbage collected playlist factory, I tried the same
test above but with just connecting the consumer to a non-playlist producer
with the same results, no memory released.
I have also seen strange things happen like when I set 'autoclose' to 1, as mlt
plays my list, clips are removed, but memory is only released, and only a tiny
bit, when I append new videos. Maybe this is a separate bug.

thanks for your time,
aaron
