Comment: After trying other media players I've discovered that it's not directly Rhythmbox. Just for more info, I am loading an m3u that contains all files found in my library that Rhythmbox uses. It's over 28,000 songs. beep-media-player shows none of this behaviour over about 3 hours. It's memory usage stays pretty close to where it starts. totem-gstreamer started at PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7658 dclarke 15 0 288m 41m 15m S 4 4.2 6:54.95 totem ... after a few hours of playback ... PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7658 dclarke 15 0 529m 42m 15m S 3 4.2 8:23.67 totem 9030 dclarke 15 0 505m 28m 1284 S 0 2.8 0:00.00 totem I've also noticed that in both cases, the VIRT column increases by 8MB (sometimes 10MB) each song wheter it's played through or skipped. Skipping backwards yeilds the same increase. I'm not sure which direction this should go, but it's definitely at a lower level than the applications themselves. gstreamer0.10 bug? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
