Memory leak using fake & logo sub-filter
I'm trying to use VLC player for digital signage media and found a massive memory leaking bug. It only happens when you have some images in your playlist, so after about a couple of hours of continuous playing VLC player crashes.
I'm using VLC 1.1.4 (same on 1.1.2) on Linux.
It's quite easy to reproduce it from the command line. Just take a large image (1280x720) and run VLC player with following parameters:
vlc fake://img1.jpg --fake-duration=500 --loop (make sure your specify the correct path to your image)
Use "top" utility to watch how the process step-by-step eats all the available memory and then crashes.
Thanks, Evgeny
