Gnash Memory Manager and RTMP

Gnash

Help us advance open source multimedia


Gnash is a media player that includes an open implementation of the Adobe® Flash® family of multimedia formats. Linux Fund has partnered with Sandro Santilli of the Gnash team to expand its support for RTMP media streaming and improve its memory manager. Linux Fund has successfully raised money to improve Gnash's OpenStreetMap editing capabilities.

Gnash Memory Manager

Linux Fund is raising money to reduce Gnash's memory usage by improving its memory management system by mixing reference-counting with the garbage-collection to allow earlier recycling of short-lived objects.
