Emby 4.8.11.0 Linux Server After the client exits, the GPU is still occupied

[zimrigeek 0]

Server Version: 4.8.11
Running on Docker Nvidia based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
CPU: AMD EPYC 7D12
GPU: Nvidia Quadro P400

Mobile settings: iPhone IOS 18.3
Emby App: 2.2.36

Problem description:
If you use EmbyAPP in IOS and open a movie that needs to be transcoded and it plays normally, use IOS to swipe up to exit EmbyAPP and the BUG will be triggered:

Impact:
1. The EmbyServer Web backend prompts "Playing" but the actual time does not change as shown in the figure:

2. GPU is occupied: The usage rate and the video memory occupation of more than 500M; (Expansion: If I repeat the BUG reproduction operation many times, then my GPU will consume all the video memory and start to occupy the CPU until all resources are consumed, which will start to affect the stability of the entire system)

 

 

When I provided the screenshots, no device was viewing them.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I did this about 6-7 times in iOS, and swiped up to exit the playing EmbyApp. As shown in Figure BTOP, the GPU memory and usage rate were completely exhausted, followed by the CPU usage. I limited it to 50% of the CPU through Docker resources.

 

 

I have provided the logs you need in the attachment.

Hi, if you stop playing first before swipe closing the app, how does that compare?

Hi Luke,Thank you for your immediate feedback~

 If I pause or stop playback before exiting EmbyApp on iOS, the above BUG will not occur.

Actually, I also noticed that client still "playing" video in next morning.  But that was already on previous versions.  

 I think it's something to do with apps. If it's happens with me, I just start playing another video and previous disappears.  If my friends playback stuck, I just restarting Emby. 

For most cases I blaming internet connection.
