Hello, i am currently working on a patch that, loads random movie samples into gemwin via pix_film. i reconized memory related crashes, that seem to originate in a memory leak in pix_film. i could reproduce the error with the pix_film helpfile. If you look at pd's used memory, it increases everytime you load a new file and it does not flush, or get empty again. so my pd crashes arround 3GB of ram used my system is a mba 2012 with 8gb ram. pd is 0.42.5 extended (standart download from the website). is there some way to unload the movie, or clear the memory ? any help would be apreciated. greetings steffen

could you please provide more information about your system? e.g. which operating system? which version of Gem (i don't track which version of Gem is included in which version of PdX)? which video-backends are installed / are you using?
you can find most of this information in the Pd-Console.
if you are using w32, there is a known file-handle leak (but not a memory leak!) which is unfixable with Pd<=0.43.
