Question

memory leak due to buffertime zero

Dear all,

when in the player application buffertime is set to zero, the memory usage of iexplore.exe or firefox.exe (browser independent) keeps growing to infinity. as soon as I set buffertime to 0.001, the memory is freed. But, since I am developing a realtime live stream, this is no option, since the bufferlength is 0.2 secs minimum when buffertime is not set to 0, which is too much.

any suggestions on how to get rid of the memory leak?

thanks

peter

    Have you tired to embed the stream with Flash?
    Follow this tutorial: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/webcasting_fme_print.html

    Scroll down to the bottom and Follow the directions for "Using Flash CS3 with the ActionScript 3.0 FLVPlayback Component"

    I am currently using that solution and I don't have the memory leak issue anymore. But there it seems that as time goes on there is a greater delay with the live feed.

    Hope this helps

    I have the same problem as Peter. My flash live stream eats up all my memory resources.
    I've tried to use the ActionScript 3.0 FLVPlayback Component, but there's no difference.
    As I happenend to stumble about this problem in similar forums, I wonder if this could be a bug in Flash.
