Hello, I have a problem of high ram usage. I have 2GB and Plex is now using 1,35GB. It seems a bit to high, doesn’t it?
If I restart the server, plex initially takes 100MB, after few hours it sits @ around 1.3GB.
Actually No. Linux will use all the RAM at some point. It’s the nature of Linux.
The initial load size is for just the code. That is correct. As PMS loads your library into memory, it will consume more and be proportional to the size of your library.
It’s important to know if the RAM usage is in Plex or just in Linux itself.
if you can show all the different memory usage stats, I can help you sort it out.
For most users, 4GB on a Synology is a good starting point. For those with HW transcoding capability 8GB works much better for multiple streams.
