Just one more data point. I too have runaway memory of plex process when kicking off a tv show “Scan Library Files”. This is a Windows 10 PC with 7 internal hard drives for data and 4 USB drives for backup. Normally Plex process sits at 50MB memory, but as soon as you kick off the scan, memory climbs to over 12 GB in about 10 seconds, cripling the PC for anything else. Eventually, the process crashes and I can regain control, but sometimes it takes down the PC and it needs a hard reboot. This is the worse it has ever been. I noticed the process was crashed over night (or hung and needed a restart) when the credit scanning was turned on. I turned off all that stuff (credit, intros, chapters thumbnails, all logging) and it still does this. At this point I cannot add any more media to the server due to this issue. Plex has really replaced my SageTV setup for my family but now it has become unreliable. Any help would be appreciated.
