If your concern is only that it uses a lot of ram, but still functions for your needs, then you're probably needlessly worrying about the ram usage.  If it does use up all of the ram in the system and crash as a result then yes thats a problem.  I can tell you without a doubt that VLC does use a fair amount of ram.

Are you using linux?  If so, which memory value are you looking at (VSZ, RSS...) ?

If you don't use mod_vlc, do you still see FreeSWITCH consuming this much RAM?  Usually FreeSWITCH builds up a memory pool and won't release that back to the system until after shutdown, but I don't normally see that go above about 1.2GB of RAM in any of the systems I work on (though they do not use mod_vlc).

Hi, users

We are using 6 freeswitch instances, 5 freeswitch instances for playing streams with mod_vlc. After 3 to 4 for days,  we see these (5) freeswitch taking more than 3gb of momory and even though calls are not more than 25.

Usually, some calls stay for more than 2 to 3 hours on some freeswitch.  Everytime we have to restart the freeswitch to release the captured memory.

But is believed, freeswitch must release the momory when there are no calls. But freeswitch still keeps captured memory.

I have attactted the top command result along with this email.
Willing to perform any test if it helps tackle the problem.

Thanks for your help.
