<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">Hello Angel Martin & all, I have gone through the program that was in the link below. This program is playing some 300 video frames and after that it stops. So if there is any memory leak, it may not be able to indicate. So I am not sure whether this program has been tested for memory leak. It is not clear to me how the buffer release was implemented. If I call g_free(pointer). or m_buffer->clear in my program after pushing the buffer to the pipeline, the program exits. if I do not use g_free or m_buffer->clear then the program continues to send the ts data to the down stream elemets and decoding happens properly except for the problem of leaking memory. I am stuck with the problem for a couple of day, the application is no use without fixing this memory leak. Please help.
