Julien, in a vlc forum a user suggest to use the following script to limit the ram usage of vlc and avoid your system becoming unstable: #!/bin/bash source /etc/profile ulimit -v 1048576 vlc The memory leak still occurs, but it just eats 1GB (you can set it to another value depending on your ram)

Hello, Same problem here, when trying to watch a RTSP stream (RTP over RTSP). Can see the video, but the sound is very crappy (nosiy/jerky) and after some seconds, VLC is using more and more memory, resulting in very high loads and swapping. I think the sound problem may be a clue (who said pulsea

Frank, the point is not to prove that there is a leak. The point is to understand where the leak comes from. Neither a kernel OOM log, nor a screenshot of top or a similar tool helps in that regard. Some things that could help: - a set of steps to reliably reproduce the problem, - checking if th

The only way to prevent the offending plugin(s) from loading is to remove it, which means remove kdelibs5, which means remove KDE. I am not aware of any way to manually blacklist some Qt4 plugins otherwise. The VLC blacklisting is more-or-less a hack and requires VLC-side infrastructure not availa

These leaks are pretty much all in the KDE plugins for Qt4. This is not a VLC bug. Now I don't mean to be pessimistic, but that makes your problem Kubuntu-specific. From past experience, Kubuntu and KDE guys don't care about KDE bugs in non-KDE applications (like VLC). In VLC 1.1.0, the KDE plugin

Once and for all, we could not care less about the dmesg output. I think everybody understood it was a run-away memory leak causing an OOM. Thing is, the kernel debug is totally helpless when it comes to reproducing the problem or figuring out where and why precisely the leak is in VLC userspace.
