Since I migrated to the new movie agent (Introducing the new Plex Movie agent), I do experience severe memory leak when refreshing all metadata. I did it twice in a row and got plex eating more than 1gb of RAM - which never happened in the past.
I am running the official docker image on a QNAP
I cannot reproduce this on a Linux or Windows machine on my side. Could you trigger a full refresh again and when it’s done grab the server logs (Settings -> Troubleshooting -> Download logs) - just make sure the “Enable Plex Media Server debug logging” option is checked before starting (please DO NOT enable verbose logging).
There could possibly be something specific to your set up causing this and having the logs would enable me to try and recreate these conditions.
I sent the log in PM. For anyone else interested, here are the symptoms:
Before refresh:
[~] # ps | grep “Plex Media Server”
21328 docker 425248 S /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
After refresh:
[~] # ps | grep “Plex Media Server”
21328 docker 812048 S /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
I have the same Problem, but not in a Docker Image (native UbuntuSRV). Can i ask you, do you have a lot of “Various Artists” in your Library?
When i remove VA’s, then PlexServer take a lot less memory.
How do you check those various artist? This does not ring any bell to me
I have “Various Artists/Albums” in my Library (upper Link, scroll down the Page).
Ha, this is about music. I do experience the problem with Movie metadata refresh. I have 8 albums with Various artists, which is low
Humm it seems that at some point, the memory get released:
[~] # ps | grep “Plex Media Server”
21328 docker 329172 S /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
Not sure if this is a problem. On one hand memory is meant to be used, on the other having plex eating more than 1gb of RAM can be problematic on smaller NAS.
