(jaunty) ffmpegthumbnailer leaks memory 600MB then after killing it 6 thunars opened

[JD]

Binary package hint: ffmpegthumbnailer

I am using Xubuntu 9.04 Beta with latest updates.

I found out in system monitor that ffmpegthumbnailer was leaking memory like there's no tomorrow.

I have previously opened up a folder containing video files and ffmpegthumbnailer was used to view the thumbnails in thunar, I then closed the window. About an hour later, ffmpegthumbnailer was using 50% cpu and 617MB RAM which is not right.

I have attached a screenshot of my processes in gnome system monitor.

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.

If possible (no copyright issue, etc.), could you attach a sample file that triggers this bug please?

[JD (jacobdorne)]

I was thumnailing folder full of about 20 MP4s with H.264 codec and AAC audio. They were mostly youtube FLVs converted to MP4. I successfully and quickly got all the thumbnails.

I don't know if my bug is related to this one, but in a few videos here ffmpegthumbnailer can't be "thumbnailed", but it plays just OK with same codec. Here is a mplayer output related to one of these [mpeg4 @ 0xf96fa0]:

This is also affecting me in karmic.

It can be worked around by installing the lucid packages https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/ffmpegthumbnailer/1.5.5-1

Then it's fixed in lucid, closing.

[Bremm (bremm)]

Should I ask someone to backport this package to karmic? Most people just wait an easy way (or should I say the right one?) to get it fixed. We must remember that Ubuntu users are mostly ordinary users and they picked up Ubuntu because it's easy to update/maintain.

By the way, amd64 version for lucid is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/ffmpegthumbnailer/1.5.5-1

Thank you

[sergio (serge-simon)]

Still not fixed for me.
I'm on a fresh Karmic installation.
I've downloaded and installed the (Lucid) 1.5.5-1 for AMD64 version of ffmpegthumbnailer given above.
And I still have the problem ...

/usr/bin/ffmpegthumbnailer -v
ffmpegthumbnailer version: 1.5.5

/usr/bin/ffmpegthumbnailer -i "test.avi" -o test.jpg
[NULL @ 0x64fd30]looks like this file was encoded with (divx4/(old)xvid/opendivx) -> forcing low_delay flag
(never ending process with 100% CPU)

[Alberto Moreno (albertomm)]

Sergio, I did the same and it didn't worked until I upgraded libffmpegthumbnailer3 also.
