            Bug ID: 770420
           Summary: Raspberry Pi 2 openframeworks crashes and freezes with
                    video after a period of functioning
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.0.0
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-omx
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

hello gstreamer friends - we are using openframeworks to play video H264 on the
Raspberry Pi 2. It works very well but after continuos operation (on average 20
mins but it can be more or less) the app freezes or crashes. Arturo (the main
developer of OpenFrameworks for Linux) suspects that something is wrong with
the omx-module:

"I've seen several reports similar to this one lately and my suspicion is that
this is a problem in the omx module for gstreamer and not in OF itself but
haven't had time to test it. The videoplayer under linux works without problem
and doesn't have any memory leaks but in the pi where the internal code is
exactly the same seems to crash after a while, probably from some leak or too
many opened files."

Could this be the case ? 

thanks for your attention.
best wishes, pedruski

here's the code we're running
