[Live-devel] It seems that the it will use more and more memory?memory leaks?

[Ross Finlayson]

Note that "openRTSP" was written to be a stand-alone application that is 
run once, with a single "rtsp://" URL.  It was not intended to be code that 
people would embed within some other, long-running application.  It's 
possible, therefore, that not all objects that  "openRTSP" allocates end up 
getting explicitly deleted (using "Medium::close()") before the program 
exits.  So, if you're running the original "openRTSP" code within a loop, 
then I suggest checking that all objects that were created within the loop 
get deleted before the next iteration of the loop.

However, if all allocated object get deleted, then there should be no 
memory leaks in the LIVE.COM code.

In general, if you are developing your own RTSP client application, then 
the "openRTSP" code is not the best model, because it has so many 'bells 
and whistles' (features).  A better model, IMHO, is the LIVE.COM RTSP 
client support for "mplayer": <http://www.live.com/mplayer/>, or VLC:
