"Out of memory" message

Hello,
After system booting, we run
$ nvgstplayer-1.0 -i xxx.mp4 --loop-forever
to play a video repeatedly. This is the only thing we do after system booting,
But after about 3~4 hours or more, there will be these messages:
[12967.752845] Out of memory: Kill process 2265 (compiz) score 22 or sacrifice child
[12967.760345] Killed process 2265 (compiz) total-vm:218980kB, anon-rss:29456kB, file-rss:13080kB
[12973.815764] Out of memory: Kill process 4546 (compiz) score 14 or sacrifice child
[12973.823506] Killed process 4546 (compiz) total-vm:275276kB, anon-rss:26304kB, file-rss:740kB

But if we play this video with script:

#!/bin/bash

while [ 1 ]
do
   gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=xxx.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvoverlaysink -e;
done

We never see “Out of memory” message even playing the video more than 3 days.
Is it possible there is memory-leak problem using nvgstplayer-1.0 --loop-forever or something else…
Thanks!

Hi Tim2016,
Does the issue happen on r21.5?

It has no issue to launch the pipeline via script. Is this good for you?

Hi~
It happens on r21.5 too.

It’s ok for me to play video repeated using this simple script.
I just want to confirm with you if this is nvgstplayer-1.0 issue.
Thanks!

Hi Tim2016, it should be an issue in nvgstplayer-1.0.

You might want to try running via Valgrind, e.g.:

valgrind --leak-check=yes myprog arg1 arg2...
