DSM 7.3 system is out of memory

[GOTCHA_SA 8]

Good Morning

Since updating to DSM 7.3 I am having the issue of Emby stopping due to the system being out of memory. this has happened 3 times since the 09/10. Never had any issues before updating the NAS

Since the latest crash I have removed the STATISTICS and PLAYBACK REPORTING plugins as suggested in other posts to see if anything changes.

I have a DS1621+ with 16GB RAM

Hi @Luke

Just had the server crash again with the same System out of memory error:

embyserver-63896682700.txt

I checked the server Logs Can see it ramped up since 12:00 today


I also have just seen a log rule I configured for the 17/10 ( for some reason it disabled) stating the memory usage had increased to a maximum level from the Emby App, I have re-enabled the log rule.



Something is causing the Emby to ramp up in Memory usage and I am not sure what, hope you can assist with this



many thanks in advance

It seems to be happening for me in 5 or 6 day cycles, so due another crash either Sunday or Monday

not sure if it is even relevant but just before all this started other than upgrading to DSM 7.3, I did add a Mixed Content Library. I have removed this and also increased the Database cache.

Memory usage seems to have stabilised and does seem to drop after a big increase. Not sure if I am clutching at straws here will see in the next few days though

OK we are looking into it. Thanks.
