Investigating memory leak

[Michael Gruner]

Hey Pieter

At a first glance, your app looks fine to me, but here’s a couple of tips I use to hunt for leaks.

You may want to give the leaks tracer a try and see if there are any orphan gobjects left behind:

Note that you’ll need to add gst_deinit() to your code and that the tracer will only detect leaks by GStreamer objects not unreffed.

For a more generic leak check you may use Valgrind. Here’s a guide on how to use Valgrind with GStreamer applications:
