Memory leak within Media / MediaPlayer / MediaView

Question

Hi,
I have a very simple program that plays 3 video one after another in a loop on Windows 7.
With visualvm I do not see the heap increasing, but with the Windows Task Manager the memory usage is growing rapidly. After an amount of hours the movieplayer stops playing movies.
I do not see anywhere where I can clean up.
Can anybody help me please?
The code is:
Media media = null;
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null;
MediaView mediaView1 = new MediaView();
private final MediaHandler mh;
static public Group root;
@Override
public void start(Stage stage)
root = new Group();
stage.setTitle("JavaFX test");
stage.setResizable(true);
stage.setFullScreen(true);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
scene.setFill(Color.WHITE);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
mh = new MediaHandler();
mh.start();
public class MediaHandler extends Thread
public MediaHandler()
mediaView1.setX(0);
mediaView1.setY(0);
root.getChildren().add(mediaView1);
@Override
public void run()
synchronized (root)
do
createMediaplayer();
try
root.wait();
catch (InterruptedException e)
while (true);
* @param mediaPlayer
private void createMediaplayer()
mediaView1.setVisible(true);
if (media == null || media.getSource().equals(url1))
media = new Media(url2);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.setCycleCount(1);
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(false);
mediaView1.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer);
mediaPlayer.play();
else if (media.getSource().equals(url2))
media = new Media(url3);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.setCycleCount(1);
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(false);
mediaView1.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer);
mediaPlayer.play();
else
media = new Media(url1);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
mediaPlayer.setCycleCount(1);
mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(false);
mediaView1.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer);
mediaPlayer.play();
mediaPlayer.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable()
@Override
public void run()
synchronized (root)
root.notifyAll();
public static void main(String[] args)
launch(args);
