Question regarding memory usage (increasing)

Run top in batch mode. It will give you a full , non-curses, output page. You can then copy the header and data lines (trim out the unwanted)

Will running this memory script & logs assist ? Happy to run if it will help.

There seems to be quite a bit of data collected already?

I have also been experiencing this however some things I have noticed:

Server 1
Ubuntu 16.04 running non-docker Plex
Version 1.15.5.994
Regular streams
Regular scans


I have experienced the same memory usage even without a scan running.

Server 2
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS running docker Plex
Version 1.16.0.1226
Rare streams, maybe 1-2 every day or two
No scans (no new files added for months)

Something to note: I have tried running my Server 1 Plex on the Server 2 hardware: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with docker Plex and still have high memory usage.

Hopefully this info may be helpful.

I can start gathering logs for Server 1, verbose and debug turned off?

As I have stated: Don’t worry about the Virtual size. Look at the resident size.

PMS is 290 MB resident.

I am looking through what Virt is doing but don’t have anything to give to Engineering yet. It might also be just an artifact of how PMS is written.
