I have 1.14.1 for Debian/Ubuntu if you want it.
I have all the installs for ubuntu server 64bit, for the last 12months if i was to guess,. As i always download and install. never delete the download.
Does anyone know if i can simply rerun the older version of plex, and it will auto downgrade? …
Yup that should work, at least for 1.15 to 1.14 on Ubuntu using the deb.
@br3nn88 or anyone else Do you happen to have the .deb to for plex 1.14? I need to do a rebuild of my server and Plex only offers the newest which has this ugly issue.
Thank you!
Which version you want?
Samthing here with plex 1.15 and Ubuntu server 64 bit. I have to reboot my server each 2 or 3 days because my RAM usage is to high and my server stop playing properly.
Mine is locking up,
Im going guess its ram issue as i keep seeing people talking about it…
@br3nn88 14.1.5488** would be perfect!
Not an issue,
Like ive mentioned above i have pretty much every PMS .deb file as my server is a good couple of years old now.
I will slap a timer on the link, it will delete after 24hours 
Deb file you wanted, only allows 2 downloads, and ends within 24hours

No problems mate,
I thought about down grading myself to 1.14 if my server keeps crashing?.. But hoping the plex team pull something out of their hat 
The suspected memory leak issue with DVR Guide refresh mentioned was discovered by running a shell script taking snapshot of memory use by the process every a few seconds and that together with debug logs from the server helped identify that there was an issue with memory use for EPG Refresh.
So i suggest we approach this the same way. Enable debug logging. See https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/
Perhaps increase number of logfiles to 20 from the default - adding LogNumFiles="20" to Preferences.xml - and then restarting the server, noting the PID number once the process starts and then running a shell script like this one to log memory use every 10 seconds.
Once memory has increased and a leak is suspected, then capture the logs zip and attach with the shell script output file. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/
You can adapt the script for your environment
#!/bin/sh
while sleep 10s
do
now=$(date +"%D %T")
mem=$(ps -p $(pidof "Plex Media Server") -o drs=)
echo $now "," $mem >> mem_snapshots.log
done
For any one noticing a possible memory leak, please do the same and hopefully correlating the memory data and logs would give some clues
If you have a DVR - then it is most likely to be the issue that is already being investigated. You should be able to match the increase in memory with the 4-hour auto guide refresh.

I’m using the official plex docker container and I can report the same. The container is using all the memory available after some time. The only work around for me is to restart the container.
Is there an update on this? I’m thinking to downgrade to 14.x.

FYI I used the tag: 1.14.1.5488-cc260c476 and downgraded, with the 1.14.x version I don’t have any problems with memory leaking. I will wait to update to :latest when this is resolved.
How did you downgrade, stop plex service and reran the older version? did it install over the top or throw a message about it being older then current version
Using 1.15.5.994 via docker on ubuntu here and I don’t have any memory issues.
Hi br3nn88
I run Plex in docker, so I only had to change the docker tag. List of all versions
https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/tags/
with docker image plexinc/pms-docker:1.14.1.5488-cc260c476 I have no memory leak.
Thank you for the diagnostics. This has now been referred to the development team
I personally have DVR enabled and have experienced this issue on a LinuxServer docker instance of PLEX.
