RTSP not closing files

[tetherit]

When I do:

rtsp = RTSP::Client.new('rtsp://192.168.88.13/media/video2')
rtsp = nil

When I look at open files, the file is never closed. This causes the system to show too many open files error after a while when reading from many sources:

$ lsof -n | grep -i rtp
ruby      99606 Hackeron   18u     REG                1,2          0 47716079 /private/var/folders/jz/tbfhr91s2p53sx93zbbxb9jw0000gn/T/rtp_capture.raw20160408-99606-1c2kusy

Any ideas how to make sure the file is closed?

It's been a while since I've looked at this code, but you might be able to tell RTSP to use a Tempfile as a capture file. In this example, you can see how to specify a specific file for the rtp_file--you might be able to use a Tempfile in that case, and that'd get cleaned up after use.

I ended up doing this:

        rtsp = RTSP::Client.new(url)
        ... more code here ...
        rtsp.capturer.capture_file.close
