Comment (by v0466@…):

 I noticed this problem a few weeks ago and tracked it down. I was
 intending to file a bug report but completely forgot about it (sorry).

 I found two leaks. The first is in the subtitle handling code and is
 caused by a missing break statement in
 mythtv/external/FFmpeg/libavcodec/dvbsubdec.c after case
 DVBSUB_DISPLAYDEFINITION_SEGMENT.

 The other leak is in mythtv/external/FFmpeg/libavformat/mpegts.c where it
 was reallocating a packet without freeing the old one. The fix is to add a
 call to av_free_packet().

 I have been running with these two fixes for a few weeks and can watch BBC
 HD and BBC1 HD all day without running out of memory. I will attach
 patches shortly.
