Release note Plex Media Server
- (DVR) Avoid downloading XMLTV files to disk before parsing (#9272)
yes, no more xml files in /tmp, thanks for the update.
now RAM usage is pretty high, but i ll keep looking and point out in case it aint get better.
Hi again, is it possible that its loaded now into RAM ?
i see heavy RAM Usage here with uptime … 2 days now and 5.6 gigs RAM …
after i restart plex its down to 600 - 800mb, increasing steady …
what could help pin this down, is
- running Plex Media Server with debug logging
- Restart the server
- Take memory usage snapshots and note down the time and also capture Plex Media Server logs (download logs via web interface)
What i am after is to capture logs during a period of time when the memory usage climbs
Attach the logs zips and snapshots and time of each snapshot
ok, started yesterday evening, after full start it was ~ 800mb RAM usage, 24 hours later now 2.4 GB
attached the logs with enabled detailed debug
another few hours later now, went up to 3.2 gigs
logs attached
Thanks for the logs - forum user @millerim has shared the script he used for capturing memory usage every minute and recording the time to 1 second accuracy . Could you look into adapting this for your setup.

Run a script like it after restarting the server and finding the PID for the plex media server process
Download server logs periodically - say twice or three times a day
Once you reach high memory usage levels and the memory stays high, then capture logs and attach the memory snapshots text file ( please make sure date and time shows time including seconds ) and all the saved zipped server logs and the latest zipped logs
I have got a an amendment to the script to make sure it writes to a file
