Potential memory leak

[oyarzun]

While testing the webcam example on a raspberry pi, top shows that the memory continues to grow.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Which RPi (3 or 4) ?
Also, how many connections were opened?

[oyarzun]

It was on a RPi 3 B+. I initially tried it with just one connection then added another 2, but the memory increases at about the same rate.

@oyarzun I was able to replicate the issue while running the webcam example. I am going to spend sometimes this weekend to investigate. Thanks again for checking the project out and take time to point this out.

@oyarzun please check out the fix.

Update: I ran a camera feed for about 25 consecutive hours,

• mem consumption remained stable at 1 %
• CPU utilization constant at about 3 %
• Pushing 30 fps HD to browser

@vladimirvivien I also confirmed that there is no longer a memory leak. Thanks for fixing the leak and the library in general.
