Server Version#: 1.25.9.5721
Player Version#: 4.76.1 and on the Roku app
I seem to be getting issues with memory allocation during video stream transcoding. The logs seems to be from ffmpeg. I was monitoring my RAM and CPU, and although CPU spikes (naturally), RAM isn’t going up. I’ve been able to play 4 seasons of the same show, with the same files, for weeks now, just fine. I tried updating Plex and the issue persists. I tried tuning the transcoder settings, but nothing seems to work.
I have 32GB of RAM, an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core processor and although currently unused until I get premium perhaps, I have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
