There's a memory leak in mplayer when rendering ssa subtitles with the -ass option. It causes it to leak about 1GB for every hour of play. It was discussed and resolved in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/55228/focus=55463 It was addressed with a series of commits, the last of which is r26068, here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.cvs/8742 So I'd like to request a bump to atleast r26068 to resolve the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get video file, get ssa subtitles. 2. Play with mplayer -ass file 3. Watch your video grind to a halt about an hour in as your machine dies the death of swap.
Thanks, svn revision 26258 in the tree
Thanks for the quick bump! Closing bug..
