Comment (by ttcoder):
Makes sense. The e.g. {{{return B_LAST_BUFFER_ERROR;}}} statement short
circuits a bunch of stuff, including e.g. {{{if (loadingChunkStatus ==
B_LAST_BUFFER_ERROR) return _FushOneVideoFrameFromDecoderBuffer();}}} and
one needs to dig deep to know what ffmpeg routine to call when. The usual
ffmpeg gimmickery... Wish they'd have written ffmpeg as object-oriented
code sigh.
If no one beats me to it (:-/), after beta2 is released I'll set up an HDD
(instead of just USB stick) partition to play with, and setup the usual
leak_check_analyser.sh test routine to collect more data, this generally
allows to save quite some debugging time.
PS - haven't seen anyone test RAM usage on other media apps, but there's
been no relevant MediaPlayer change that I remember, so I'll bet it's not
the culprit and ffmpeg/add-on must be the culprit, as was the case
numerous times before.
