[Libav-user] Possible memory leak in avformat_find_stream_info, how to deal with it?

[Hristo Ivanov]

Hi Wodzu.

>From the ffmeg docs about  avformat_find_stream_info():
  - Read packets of a media file to get stream information.
  - The logical file position is not changed by this function; examined
packets may be buffered for later processing.

* Read packets of a media file to get stream information.
I can see you are using a cusmom io_context, maybe the leak is there.

* The logical file position is not changed by this function; examined
packets may be buffered for later processing.
I haven't checked, but the expected thing for avformat_close_input() would
be to correctly release the memory of the buffered packets, even if not
read.

Hope this is helpful.
