hi,<br>
<br>
i think it's mainly a memory issue,<br>
i forgot about that memory limitation thing,<br>
i'm running in an unlimited mode :<br>
<br>
ulimit -a<br>
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited<br>
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited<br>
<br>
it fairly depends on the number and the resolutions<br>
of the videos you're playing <br>
( and of the size of the canvas too ).<br>
<br>
meybe, should change your memory settings??<br>
<br>
suerte,<br>

What would be good numbers? Is there a disadvantage to having it too high, as long as I can spare the memory?
If I lower the memlimit, won't it just crash all that much sooner?

Yeah, what I was saying is, that I *am* using the loop message already, but I am *not* using any pdp_loop or
pdp_delay. I said this because the message memlimit passes when it closes pd is
"WARNING: increase memory limit or decrease packet usage (i.e. pdp_loop, pdp_delay)."
And, unless they're buried in the other objects I'm using, I'm not using pdp_loop or delay.
What could be causing so many pdp_dumps? Pdp_yqt did slow the occurence of pdp_dumps down to about 3/sec from
5/sec (guesstimating), but it still quickly eats up every available byte of RAM. As the pdp_dumps roll in and
start eating memory, I use pdp_control's garbagecollect, but that only frees about 3 packets and has no
noticeable effect on the amount of memory usage.
Thanks for your patience Yves
