Player Version#: V.1.22.1
I recently had a situation where changing something in the Plex HTPC settings crashing the app.
I just tried changing the title background music volume from low to medium, after clicking medium Plex HTPC locked up and became unresponsive. In the TaskManager I could see how Plex HTPC started using multiple (3,5) gigabytes of RAM… (Note, when seeing Plex HTPC in Taskmanager it usually has different sub-processes and only the C++ Application Development Framework (QtWebEngineProcess.exe) used that much RAM) I let it do its stuff and after 1 minute or 2 - Ram usage went down again and it just showed a black screen anymore. In the TaskManager I could see that the C++ Application DevFramework process died. No interaction with the UI was possible anymore and I needed to force quit the app.
