@jasonpgf2a have you by any chance noticed this or can you reproduce this. Only asking as you have many posts related to smart-record. @prominence_ai , this is the memory leak I mentioned.

I haven’t noticed this. My applications are not continually starting and stopping so the issue may be there without me knowing. I will test using lsof as you suggest and create a lot of detections (which is what triggers smart record for my apps). Will report back next week as I’m on holidays at th…

Thanks @jasonpgf2a , in my applications this is also triggered from detections. Just created a sample config for Nvidia to reproduce using one of their samples. Enjoy your break :-)

I can reproduce the leak in our board. We will investigate and debug it.

Thanks @Fiona.Chen for confirming and looking into this. Please update once you have made any progress?

Hi @Fiona.Chen , any update on this bug? Has this been logged internally and when can we expect this to be fixed?

Yes, we have internal bug to tracking this problem. Will update here when there is progress.

We have found the root cause. The solution will be released with next release.

That is great news. Thank you for the effort. By “next release”, do you mean Deepstream 6 or will there be a minor/patch release? Could you provide a timeline on when this will be provided as this is critical to my applications. The only roadmap I could find is Jetson Roadmap | NVIDIA Developer w…

Thank you, looking forward to the release
