Frontend OOMs at end of watching a recording

[voltaire1983red@…]

I am using master updated on Saturday. I have now had two instances of the frontend gobbling all my ram when a recording comes to the end. The playback freezes on the last frame and memory usage grows until it depletes all available memory. I update about once or twice a month and have not seen this previously. I was able to reproduce using the same recording.

The recordings were both from an HDHomeRun Prime, playback with VDPAU and timestretch at 1.3. Audio is hdmi passthrough. It is a remote frontend playing directly from an NFS share, not streaming from the backend. The frontend is Ubuntu 12.04 with the 3.8 kernel and has 16GB ram with no swap file.

I have watched several other recordings from the same source without this issue.

Below is console output captured by jumping to near the end of the recording to reproduce the issue.

I never see the entry showing that it is near the end of the recording and slowing down to 1x speed as recordings that do not have this problem typically have.

Sorry I do not have any more information. Do not have a debug build running. I run the frontend with 'mythfrontend -v playback,important,audio'. If I can reproduce, any other verbose options that might help? If you need me to run gdb, I won't have an opportunity until at least next Sunday.

Could you try reverting 0aedcaef7a16b17712dfe6502cb2e6354e3b6f0c and cef316f803117339a3e954531aedd00b462a81e9 (or equivalently, apply ​http://pastebin.com/NbB9EmdG) and see if that changes the behavior on the problematic recording?

[voltaire1983red@…]

Applying the patch seems to resolve the behavior.

Was able to reproduce 2/2 attempts without the patch and was unable to 5 times with the patch.

This should have been fixed by 8b542e208d6a11c9d5d43a32a07ca8b82e9f2185 . If not, please re-open.
