- Open PR URL: Buffers are not always recycled automatically by b100dian · Pull Request #111 · sailfishos/droidmedia · GitHub
The PR solves a situation observed on Zenfone 8, port based on lineage-18.1, and video playback - with new media buffers coming in with the same slot as existing ones, but without recycling old buffers (they should have been null if they were recycled). The PR tracks the old buffers and the memory pointing at them, and does two things: releases old buffers ASAP and reclaims memory only when the client (gecko-camera, gst-droid) is not using them anymore.
