We detect a memory leak when using encoder on TX2 We use Jetpack version 28.2.1 Gstreamer version 1.8.3 When we run the following command line we get a memory leak of 1.8Mb per hour We are using free command line to detect memory leak (free memory). gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=“/dev/video0” !…

Hi, We would suggest upgrade to latest release for TX2, which is Jetpack 4.6.3. Please note omx plugins are deprecated on Jetpack 4. And please use nvv4l2h264enc plugin.
