My main server keeps giving an "out of memory" error and shutting down Emby.

 

Thoughts?

If it's a one time thing you can ignore, if it keeps happening try limiting more the RAM for VMs and/or docker containers, the problem is usually not just about not enough RAM but more about fragmented RAM, alternatively a small swap file on disk might help, you can use the swapfile plugin:

The error just started happening and keeps happening with Emby. I think I have been able to use Emby for about 20 minutes before the error happens again and shuts down the Emby docker. Any suggestions on how I can discern what started the problem?

I did find this post:

and tried adding a variable in Emby's docker with the value:

--mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592

Made no difference

OK, so I am slow. Actually

Quote

--mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=8589934592

goes under "Extra Parameters." For those who do not know,

• Click on Emby in Docker list
• Choose Edit
• Toggle the Basic View switch to change to Advanced View
• Add the code on the Extra Parameters line.

All of that said, I made the change and still Emby is crashing with an "out of memory" error. Anyone?

Well, I don't know if this is a "solution" but it worked. I changed to the linuxserver/emby:4.8.0-beta and the problem went away. What I don't know is if the switch to beta or the switch to the linuxserver version did the trick.
