[SOLVED] Firefox 30 eats all my RAM on Youtube HTML5 videos

[equeim]

If I pause a video, firefox stops increase size of process. However firefox doesn't free memory after I close the tab. In about:memory there is:

Just a hunch, but try to downgrade to media-video/ffmpeg-1.2.6.

If that helps, I'll post what this guess was based upon.

[LukynZ]

Probably same problem here but I have huge memmory leak then. Third hard reset this day....more than last year....downgrading now. I have same ffmpeg version, however with FF29 it works fine.

I bet for gstreamer 1 problem as long as FF29 use 0.10ver

[equeim]

I doubt that it is ffmpeg issue, because on Arch system I have the same versions of Firefox and ffmpeg and everything works fine. However I will try this.

[equeim]

Downgrading to ffmpeg-1.2.6-r1 solved the problem. Why gst-libav on Arch doesn't depend on ffmpeg, while Gentoo ebuild depends? In it's README written that it contains "internal copy of the FFmpeg source code". Also I have noticed that media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav has 1.2.0 version, while the latest stable release is 1.2.4 (other gstreamer plugins in portage tree updated to 1.2.4)

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494282
It seems that gst-plugins-libav-1.2.0 isn't compatible with ffmpeg2.

This was (more or less) the problem I've expected - I recalled it from the upstream bug side.
gstreamer 1.4.0 is expected to be released in a month or so - will most likely work with fmpeg2 then.

*subscribed*

most likely I've also run into this issue - although I'm using html5 video rather seldom

[EoD]

There is a fix for gstreamer 1.2.4: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494282#c15

[yoshi314]

that memleak is pretty catastrophic. i hope fix hits portage soon.

[v_andal]

New version of ffmpeg also kills stable mplayer. I had to switch to ~amd64 version. I wonder, why was it marked stable so early?

[equeim]

gst-plugins-libav updated to 1.2.4
Memory leak with ffmpeg2 fixed
