I now have A/V decode running on my embedded decoders and using GStreamers input-selectors/queues and demux+filesrc etc to make this happen. However, the system I am developing on has < 64 mb RAM. Once the system starts up and runs I am left with 20MB odd for applications. Once I start up Gstreamer it really seems to eat memory with it using nearly all the 18-20MB to run. Some of this is due to my A/V queue lengths. But a lot of it seems to be untraceable. My questions are: 1. Any hints on tracking where memory has gone. 2. Does Gstreamer have a memory manager where I could limit what it can use (much like Java allows) so that I could say heres 10MB no more 3. Is anyone else running on embedded systems finding similar issues? I suspect I am missing some options, my design choices might be floored or many other reasons so I really would appreciate any hints or tips for this. In the mean time calling free and checking calls to malloc (g_malloc) seems the only way forward Many thanks Daniel Laird ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H</a> _______________________________________________ Gstreamer-embedded mailing list <a href="mailto:Gstreamer-embedded@lists.sourceforge.net">Gstreamer-embedded@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-embedded" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-embedded</a> </blockquote></div> -- -- Prajnashi S
