Hello, I think there is a stackoverflow with mpv (sometimes hard to solve...) watching memory with "top" command, I can see memory increase indefinitly.

Is it possible to solve this problem ? I use armbian to play web radios....

Best Regards

This kernel is no longer supported. Flash a current kernel 4.x  and try again 

 

Ok, can I upgrade my current kernel instead of flash it ?

(I will spend many weeks to reconfigure if I flash it from the new version.... I try by myself, thank you for your anwser Tido  )

 

Does the problem exists on the new kernel version ?

I have the same problem with the latest kernel (updated an upgraded)

Mpv memory starts from about 10% and increases about 0.1% each 15s and system crashes a few hours later.

(I don't have the problem on my ubuntu PC)

I am sure someone will find the solution :))))

Must I report a bug ?

(I install latest kernel, update and upgrade, activate analog input with armbian-config and I play an url with mpv)

I tried with moc but :
Running the server...
Trying JACK...
Trying ALSA...
Trying OSS...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!

(I try to have a multiroom audio solution)

isn't MPV a video player?

 

armbianmonitor -u   tells the reader all the details about your Installation, like Kernel-Version and much more, please post the result of this command.

 

Mpv is a video and an audio player.

Can you launch mpv (with a stream url) and watch memory status with top command Tido ?

Is it hard to reproduce ?

I am the only one who have this problem ?

You are doing what I would like to do. May be you want to adjust the title of your topic to get more attention like: MPV Stack Overflow - while playing webradio

I don't have such a sophisticated installtion to help you testing. Also, have you had a look at the development/issues of MPV, maybe the maintain something on Github or Gitlab?

 

Do Mpv memory increases when playing on a standard install with the latest armbian ? (I think it will be the same on any install)

I must know if it is due to audio drivers before doing what you tell me to do.

Can you please tell me what you see on your install ? Launch for example the following command line and check :

mpv http://stream.radiohamburg.de/rhh-live/mp3-128/radiode/ &

(it is not my prefered radio lol)

And check with top command if memory increase indefinitly (just launch "top" after)
