I stream movies & shows from my server. That works fine. I do not use live tv/dvr.
The PMS 1.41.7 beta builds had a bug that causes massive database growth. Database files that are normally a few hundred megabytes grew to tens or hundreds of gigabytes. This affected Plex on all platforms, not just Synology.
PMS 1.41.8 has a fix to shrink the database back to normal size. It happens when Optimize Database runs as a scheduled task. While the process runs the Plex server will be non-responsive (no streaming). It may also take many hours to complete on systems with low power CPUs such as Synology & other NAS. Here is a very long thread with all the details: Library.db size more than doubled in latest version
That may also be what the person was complaining about.
So, should you update?
If you ran 1.41.7 beta builds, check the size of your database files. If they are abnormally large, 1.41.8 will remove the bloat.
Otherwise, check the release notes and see if there are any new features/fixes you need.
