Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639
Hi, I’m wondering why Plex server running on Mac Studio with macOS 14.1.2 starts consuming so much memory after a while.
Here is a pic after Plex has been running for a few days.
If I quit Plex and re-launch it the memory usage goes right down to this:
Is there a memory leak or is this behaviour considered normal?
I can not confirm a memory leak. I use a Mac Mini M2 Pro, same OS update and Plex media server version. I would suggest you may have early days corrupt Database.
I would look at this solution.

Do you have the DLNA server enabled?
If so, disable it. It has a memory leak that Plex has so far been unable to fix.
Have run the above tool and it found nothing wrong. I don’t have a huge library is don’t think it a database corruption issue.
The DLNA server has always been turned off…
So is it still leaking. Only option is a reinstall over the top.
Swap out the app on a download, make sure PMS is not running.
Download app from:
https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/?cat=computer&plat=macos#plex-media-server
When you drag it to the applications folder, choice replace
Hope it works
Thanks , I’ll try that…
