    Most apps will hold on to memory even if it doesn't need it anymore until the OS tells the app otherwise (another app needs the memory). This shows up as persistently high memory usage.

    After a reboot/JF restart my system uses about 800MB of memory. After a few days the overall memory usage climbs as high as 2.5GB. Most of that is JF.

    I wouldn't be concerned about your level of memory usage. That is normal.

    Something I noticed.

    Code:
    [2023-07-18 02:13:57.267 +02:00] [ERR] Error in metadata saver
    System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/mnt/nas/Shows/Series EN/The Last of Us/tvshow.nfo' is denied.
    ....
    [2023-07-18 02:13:58.289 +02:00] [ERR] UnauthorizedAccessException - Access to path "/mnt/nas/Shows/Series EN/DAVE 2020/DAVE (2020) Season 2 1080p/metadata/Dave (2020) S02E05 1080p.jpg" is denied. Will retry saving to "/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library/21/21e441c04e69668f21f129f74e101c48/poster.jpg"

    Does Jellyfin have write permissions to your library directory? I'm assuming you have "Metadata saver" and "Save artwork into media folders" enabled.

    I'm also seeing this a lot. Not sure what would be causing that.

    Code:
    [2023-07-18 02:15:55.960 +02:00] [ERR] Error getting external streams from "/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library/f6/f6d45d1c10742b8f1ea11b67c3303fea/Breathing Room 2008 1080p.eng.srt"
