Memory leak? Out of memory exception error

[BigMoose]

It chooses the narrative/mpeg1 track both in live tv and recording playback. With the choppy audio I've tried a few decoders. I'm using spdif out if that makes a difference, but is there a decoder you recommend?

I've installed the MPA one recommended and it seems to work better with the Irish dtt than the others I use in gbpvr. I'll leave it running for a while and will try watching the grand prix with it in a bit to see how it gets on. Don't quite dare use npvr for the football later as the wife is from holland and I'll be dead if it breaks due to my fannying around!

That was no better. So back to ffdshow but have changed the mp1,mp2 decoder to mp3lib which is much better than the default libavcodec so far. Anyone else using spdif out to an av amp?

My findings: audio decoder makes no difference - ive spent a long time trying all I can find and they all behave the same. After an hour or so the sound is choppy (several tiny drop outs each second). Right click and reselect the same audio track and it's perfect again for another hour-ish. Is the thing that lets you chose the audio track the same filter as used in gbpvr? As I'm thinking the issue is there, as gbpvr doesn't ever degrade.

After the hour, mem usage was up from 140 to around 250. No idea if these issues are related but I suspect not as after reselecting the audio channel and going back to perfect audio the mem usage hasn't changed, but then again i guess it won't register as freed memory until something wants it?

I'm having the same issues with sound, not on all channels thou. I usually just pause for a couple of seconds and the problem is gone. With regards to mem.usage NextPRV reports about 29000K, but Nrecord uses 132000K, that is after running about 24 hrs.

I'm guessing that reselecting the audio track and a pause/restart has the same effect? Having just paused the GP it does sound perfect again on resuming. After another hour mem usage hasn't changed.

Did you have a link to a short recording I could play here to see the problem?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0D9F7PPH - is a 17mb chunk of a BBC HD recording that pics the narrative and not the AC3 for me (when it was live as well as recording playback).

Give this patch a go.

That clip of bigmoose's played the narrative audio for me when viewed as "video". However, after loading your patch there didn't seem to be any audio at all. (although there still is with live BBC HD, but it is not transmitting narrative at present AFAIK)
