[gst-devel] Re : memory leaks with qtdemux

[Albert Costa]

Hi,
I've been working a bit more on the qtdemux leaking problem.
I found 2 issues:

-when the mov file is over 2Gb, the qtdemux runs in push mode, and it does not work. I've replaced in gstfilesrc all 32bits version of lseek and fstat functions by their 64bits equivalent. It now works fine (the qtdemux runs in pull mode again).
Should I commit a patch for gstfilesrc so that it can now work with normal and large files?

-with the previous problem fixed, if I try anyway to make the qtdemux plugin work in push mode (by forcing it), there is still the leaking problem. And it seems it is not working anyway (it never gets to the end of the file header). Has anyone ever tried to use qtdemux in push mode?

Regards,
Al

Hi,
in fact I got similar problem. It came not from the format, but from the size of file.
If I use a file which is larger than 2Gb, then the component does not have same behavior as if smaller.
In normal case, qtdemux acts in pull mode, whereas it acts in push mode when file is >2Gb. Reason is that (in short terms), in gstfilesrc code the seekable flag is set to false because the fseek function used returns only signed 32bits length. In case the file is over 2Gb, fseek fails.
I have tried to replace all functions (fseek and other fstat...) by their 64bits equivalent, but still the qtdemux does not work properly.
And I don't know yet why it leaks memory in push mode.
 
Has anyone already got this kind of problem? Is there a way to handle nice and smooth files that are above the 2Gb limit? Is it expected to be handled in later releases of gstreamer?
Btw, I run under win32.
Regards,
Al.
