My jellyfin instance has recently started ballooning its ram usage until it causes the OS throw and OOM error then restart the service. I let it cycle for a while with no change in my results. Stopped the service manually and pulled the log from the machine. This log seems to show it restarting but not what is causing the error. Is there somewhere else I could check? I have 12GB of RAM and this machine is dedicated to Jellyfin. A small performance monitor is the only other software installed. I tried increasing my Swap to 32GB. I after about 30 minutes the ram seems to still be growing. Its currently at 26GB+ (10~ GB RAM 17 GB Swap), but is growing slower if I were to guess. CPU usage is about a constant 25% on a N100, but the GUI has not been accessible since I brought started back up.
