Reduce memory usage over a long period

I have Clementine 0.7.1 running for two weeks and it is now consuming 1GB of RAM, even if I only have added one playlist of an online radio.

Here is what top displays:

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
nicolasm 1682 3.9 14.6 3068380 1125204 ? Sl Aug25 787:36 clementine

After restarting Clementine, it uses only 44MB:

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
nicolasm 19062 6.9 0.5 690904 44696 ? Sl 10:46 0:01 clementine

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a library of about 8000 mp3s and add them to a playlist
2. Check the memory usage on Windows 7 64 bits

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Average memory usage of about 30 - 70 MB expected.
Actual about 250 Mb are used. After restarting Clementine, 70 MB are used

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS: Windows 7 64 bits
Clementine: O.7.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Great program but a great memory usage.

I think this is a memory leak bug. I beleieve that radio streams are buffered in r.a.m. memory without proper clean up. So if you listen to the same radio stream for a while clementie grows and grows.. As you can't "rewind" radio stream it's quite useless to keep played bits of data in memory. After closing and restarting clementine everything is fine.

I've been getting memory leakish behavior too. With just one album in a playlist, after every song it goes up ~1 mb ram on song change, right now using about 230mb of ram (and I'm not using internet radio, local files)

Running arch linux 64 bit.

Arch Linux 64 (currently up to date)
Clementine 1.1.1 Qt 4.8.3
Playlist : 480 mp3
Attached stats gathered immediately after launching application, and no music playing, no internet radio or visualisations.

While playing :
Kbytes RSS Dirty
total kB 2518000 141156 107032

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a library with about 500 songs
2. Check the memory usage on htop, top, nmon or pmap (Linux)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Low memory usage since the app had just been launched and no music playing.
Excessive memory usage.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS: Arch Linux 64bit (latest)
Clementine: 1.1.1

ALTLinux 6.0.2 x32 (branch t6)
Clementine 1.1.1 Qt 4.8.4

Radio-online
Start Clementine, 70 MB are used
After 1 hour of 200MB used, and continues to grow
After restarting Clementine, 70 MB are used
It is noticed when playing mp3 files in 200MB without radio processor boots under 100%

Same here.
When listening to internet stream (http://stream.funradio.sk:8000/80-90-128.mp3), Clementine takes about 7.8 MB per minute. This corresponds to the 128k bitrate of the stream.
I have discovered it today, when Clementine eat 4.5 GB of memory.
You can see it here https://youtu.be/odbnfVg7MBE

[adrhc]

Same here:
clementine 1.3.1+git565-gd20c22 amd64
Ubuntu 18.10
Linux 4.18.0-17-generic
Clementine is eating 6.5G of RAM after 12h of radio listening.

[AleixDev]

Same here (Clementine eats 1.2 GiB of RAM after 40h of radio listening until I restart it)

• Clementine: 1.3.1-702-g3b76fa627
• OS: Arch Linux 64bit (latest)

[filipy65]

Same here (have been a long time...).
I tested with Vorbis, MP3 and AAC and always got the same issue.

• Clementine 1.4 rc2
• Arch Linux

This issue is marked as fixed and seems be similar, but it keeps existing here.
It can be tested through the radios listed here (by codecs).
