It takes a bit longer for 1080i channels. This is ridiculous considering that my 1Gb RPi3 used to work for months without a reboot.
This is actually not a memory fragmentation issue - decreasing MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD does pretty much nothing.
It appear to be a memory leak when VAAPI hardware acceleration is used.
With VAAPI hardware acceleration disabled kodi.bin memory usage does not increase over time.
I'm now testing on a Celeron J4105 board with 4Gb of RAM (I added another 2Gb stick since my last post). This is how it looks after a couple of days of running 1080p videos non-stop with VAAPI enabled:
