std::bad_alloc when trying to play a large video stream

Hi,

I'm trying to run a video with a large size (600Mb but I have only 400Mb in my system),

• Using http protocol, the video starts to play and then I'm getting the following failures:

sometimes

"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc"

and sometimes

"GStreamer-ERROR **: gstbuffer.c:542: failed to allocate XXXXXXXXXXX bytes"

Adding some printfs in StreamingClient::didReceiveData function to know the length of the streamed data, I see a large size (for example: length == 110178407)

It tries to allocate an amount of memory greater than what we have , which will cause the error.

Is there any way to decrease the size of the data streamed?
How it is calculated?

Is it in relation with the duration?

If gst-element_querry_duration is returning incorrect duration, does it affects the size of the streamed data?

I'm using gstreamer 0.10.x and sometimes gst-element_querry_duration() is returning an incorrect duration.

Many thanks.
