Synology DSM 7.0 Beta [Plex High Memory Utilization] Version 4.43.4

I have gotten several DSM 7.0 memory issue notifications, sent report to Synology, and got the following E-mail:

Dear customer,

The DLNA server does have a memory leak.
Engineering has been trying to resolve it for quite some time now and cannot.

The only advice which can be given is to

  1. Restart the DLNA server daily.
  2. Do not use DLNA. Use a Plex client app instead.

You might want to update to the newer version I have posted in the preview thread.
1.21.1.3870.

Number of package improvements:

  1. Locale handling.
  2. Multiple installation & feedback language support (Danish, Dutch, English, French, Spanish so far)
  3. Plex Claim Token support

ok,thank you
will look for it and give it a shot

I just checked on the last build. I don’t think all the changes got into it.
I’m rebuilding now to be 100% certain.

It will be ready in about 15 minutes.

would be great if this was fixed, I gave up on DLNA ages ago in Plex.

Ok,installed it ,no change
still has a large memory leak

@bigcid10_gmail.com

I only updated the packaging. The PMS code inside is still the same version. Only the build number changed

If this is DLNA - related then there is likely to be no immediate action because, for all their efforts, they can’t find the memory leak.

As I move further along, maybe next week, I’ll grab a newer version of PMS and package again.

OK,Thank you
