Extreme ram (120gigs) and swap usage

[Dalpuri 20]

System Configuration:

• Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz
• RAM: 128 GB
• Machine Type: Rack Mount Chassis
• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
• Storage: HP P440, HP P840ar, HP LOGICAL VOLUME (multiple disks)
• Display Resolution: 1024x768 pixels

Issue:

Recently, I’ve noticed that the RAM and swap usage on my Emby server has suddenly spiked significantly. Previously, the RAM usage never exceeded 20-30 GB, though the swap would occasionally fill up. However, now the RAM usage quickly goes through the roof within a few minutes of starting the server, even after multiple reboots.

Steps Taken:

• Rebooted the server multiple times.

Problem:

Despite the reboots, the RAM usage continues to escalate rapidly. I have attached the relevant logs.

Request:

Can anyone help me identify what might be causing this issue? Is there something wrong on my end, or is there a fix available for this problem?

Btw luke this was solved when i upgraded my Linux packages. Now ram usage is around 20-25% constant no matter how many streams. Basically like before.
