@Luke @seanbuffHow about it, after all this time, have you solved my high memory usage problem?

4.9 stable has been released now, have you upgraded your system to compare?

@Luke@seanbuffThe problem persists. I'm using Docker to deploy Emby, and the current version is the latest official version 4.9.1.80. Video playback still consumes memory; both fast-forwarding and playback use memory. Even after closing the webpage, the memory doesn't automatically release; it only releases memory by restarting the container or limiting the container's total memory size. Without limiting it, it continuously consumes memory indefinitely.

HI, we are looking into it. Thanks.

What is your DSM version? Your docker UI seems kinda old, maybe try updating this package + your DSM version

4.9.3也是同样的情况，只要播放一会儿，内存就直接占满8G，然后后续的请求卡顿，只有重启才能缓解。
