how to enable gstreamer leaks tracker?

[Jovic, Vladimir]

Hi Guillaume


for some reason, I am not getting your messages. I am sure admins in my company are having  a laught 😞

Anyway, as I said, I am building a custom linux image for my arm embedded device, and for some reason, gstreamer isn't containing this feature. Do you know what to do to enable it?


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

i. A. Vladimir Jovic

Hi


yes, it tells it is not there:

gst-inspect-1.0 leaks

No such element or plugin 'leaks'

So, how to get it? Do I need to put some option when configuring gstreamer? Which repository needs to be reoconfigured? etc


Cheers,

Vladimir

Hi,


I tried modifying my program to end after some time and call gst_deinit(), but that didn't do anything. I still don't get any output.

Even gst-launch-1.0 is not doing anything:


root at pdm3:/home# GST_TRACERS="leaks"  GST_DEBUG="*TRACER:7" gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=10 ! fakesink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
Got EOS from element "pipeline0".
Execution ended after 0:00:00.010384134
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Setting pipeline to READY ...
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...
root at pdm3:/home#


I am having a custom linux image built with yocto, and it runs on arm.

I still don't get it, do I need to configure gstreamer to get the leak tracer?

Hi,


I would like to track a leak in my application, which uses gstreamer libraries to display ip camera image.

Reading online documentation, I set next environment variables and then I run my program:

GST_TRACERS="leaks"

GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7"
but it didn't print anything.

So, I was wondering - do I need to somehow configure gstreamer libraries to enable leaks tracer? I use yocto to build, and the version is 1.16.2.


Cheers,

Vladimir Jovic
