Luke 37063 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've just recently started to see 95%-98% usage on my server. I removed all plugins except server config backup and trailers, and I'm still having the problems. I thought maybe it was a drivepool problem, but when I start my server, Emby used to start as a service until recently. I can now see that when I manually start Emby, the memory usage will go from 9% and immediately rocket to 96% within a minute after starting, and I can't recover that memory if I close the emby services on the PC. I have to reboot to reclaim that memory. I'm on Windows Server 2K8 R2 with 32GB of memory. I thought I might have figured out what my problem was. Under Settings > Transcoding, I had Hardware Acceleration set to "yes", but I'm running server hardware (Emby is actually inside a VM) without any kind of graphics card on my server. When I chose "No", the physical memory on the server went from 9% to 10% and stayed there after reboot for about a minute or two, and then it rocketed back up to 94%. I would think you'll probably see better numbers on newer versions of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool 7 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 OK, so I went ahead and upgraded to Windows server 2012 R2 Standard, and I'm STILL getting Memory usage at 97%. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 My Emby memory usage on WHS2011 and Windows 10 is between 300-600Mb. But I guess overall usage/features would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I have 2012r2 server (native install) with two instances of Emby running as same time - one stable one beta - been like this for 2-3 years now Memory usage when the server is idle - <200MB each When running a library scan - usage can go up as high as 700-800MB but returns to circa 200 MB once its finished I would post a log so we can see if something odd is going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool 7 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Newest logs after upgrade. Upgrading to Server 2k12R2 was a pain because my shares were wiped out, pictures are now missing from Emby, and a bunch of other problems with the upgrade, but the one thing that hasn't changed is the 97% memory usage by Emby. Edit: added second server log with errors in them - this may explain the high memory usage? embyserver.txt embyserver.txt Edited November 20, 2019 by oldschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 How are you determining 97 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool 7 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 How are you determining 97 ? From Task Manager. Right now sitting at 95%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool 7 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Any ideas on how to resolve my issue? Do the logs look normal? I just updated to 4.3.0.25 and I'm still seeing task manager reporting 96% memory utilization, with 2-4% CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37063 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The logs look ok so right now there's nothing obvious. Do you have the dlna plugin installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool 7 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, after a TON of digging, I figured out the answer to my problem. Had to do with Hyper-V and dynamic memory. I'm back in with Emby running at 6% memory usage. Sorry for sounding the alarm and all the finger pointing. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/d4f97391-a70c-47b1-ab05-bab4754868ac/hyperv-dynamic-memory-driver-locked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
