Memory leak while playing back some gifs #28

Open szopin opened 7 years ago

This one specifically: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/comments/5szxfy/its_better_because_it_is_all_automated/ It's linked as jpg, while playing memory quickly reaches 97% usage and all apps get killed (jolla c, 2.1.0.9)

This is a bug in QtQuick's AnimatedImage component. Quickddit merely passes this component the URL, so there's not much I can do. I've seen this in earlier sailfish versions as well..

Thanks, never seen this behaviour before (quickddit would hang on some gifs, but never crashed all bg apps), so thought it warranted a bug report. Thanks!

@accumulator do you know the qt bug too this?

accumulator commented 6 years ago

No, but this one comes closest: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55808

Maybe you can implement a workaround for imgur and others where a mp4 version is always available?

I haven't seen any crashes the last few months. Also the linked image in szopin's original report is not crashing the app, therefore I'm closing this issue. Please add the reddit link to any problematic images if the problem still occurs!

Hm, too soon, I hit this bug again :(
