Problem with encoding: initalization failed: out of memory

[jackburton]

Encoding fails with initialization failed

To reproduce: Open BeScreenCapture from terminal. Select MPEG / MPEG4 as output. Start and stop recording multiple times until an alert is shown with "Initialization failed". In the terminal, these errors come out:

PluginManager: Error, load_add_on(): General system error PluginManager: Error, loading Plugin ffmpeg failed PluginManager: CreateWriter: GetPlugin failed

and in syslog:

KERN: runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libavcodec.so.58.54.100: could not map image: out of memory

Could be an application specific bug, of course. But only happens on haiku 32 bit gcc2.

Will try ti provide a simpler test case in the next days

[jackburton]

Attached test case. Compile with

gcc -lbe -lmedia -o mediacrashtest main.cpp

then execute ./mediacrashtest

[jackburton]

Test case. Compile with gcc -lbe -lmedia -o mediacrashtest main.cpp

[jackburton]

The first test case had a memory leak. The updated test case does not show the problem. So I guess this is, after all, an application issue.

Reopening, because there's a leak in the kit, too, like described in #9458
