Question / Help Memory Leak?

[djelevateus]

Hello,

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3
OBS 24.0.6

I've been using OBS for years, and I've recently noticed this happening. This happens after about 1.5 hrs whether I'm streaming or not. I do not record.

Bump?

Hello? Is anyone active here? I'm sitting here with one scene, one video loop in the background, two cameras, an animated gif, and two pictures, and three streamlabs widgets and I'm watching the memory use climb - currently 4.14GB if I wait it eventually goes up to 90+ GB!!! This makes no sense and wasn't a problem before I went to Catalina and 64-bit

Its probably the VLC Media source. That was mine. Removed it, now it works well

Yeah just sucks - this wasn't a problem before. I liked having multiple loops play in the background - now I've settled with just one.

I'm having same issue... without VLC, just standard media souce that loops. It's probably more apparent with VLC sources since it's multiple videos loaded. I created an issue in github for it. If you're still experiencing this issue I'm sure your insight would be helpful
