Description of the warning/error

I'm running a script to capture screen in VMware. The system win7 is running inside VMware. I dispatch 6GB memory for this machine. After running the script for about 6 hours, the python process fills up all memory and cause the Out of Memory error.

Could you try the version from the master branch? Several memory leak issues were fixed.

Seraphli commented 4 years ago

Okay, I will try it out. I'm currently just writing a bat script to restart the python script.

I have tested the version 5.0.0 for 15 minutes, and the problem is resolved. Thank you! I will run a test for hours later, see if there is a problem. I will close this issue now.
