RAM Leak with hyperiond. Gbytes in a matter of days.

• I confirm that this is an issue rather than a question.

Bug report

RAM consumption is too much. Increasing in GBytes in days. I'm using a USB Video Grabber and then doing ambilight.

Steps to reproduce

I tried different configuration disabling the more that I can but in a matter of 2-3 days I can get 12Gbytes of consumption easily, the only way to handle is to create a cron job to restart the service every 3 days, I think is a little bit dirty. My configuration file is the following: Hyperion-2.0.17-beta.1-Backup (TV Living Room) 2024.10.18.json, meanwhile writing this bug the consumption is 6.1Gb and it was restarted two days ago.

What is expected?

Minimum RAM consumption, maybe a 1Gb maximum

What is actually happening?

Consuming all the RAM possible.

I been having the same issues aswell, temporary solution with scheduled restart every 24h. Restarts every morning at 06:00 and by 12:00 memory usage is up to 700mb with out any media watched. So memory usage grows with approx 1gb per day.

Have had the issue since atleast version HyperionNG V2.0.15.

• Running HyperionNG as a container on Unraid Docker.
• HyperionNG is version V2.0.16.
• Using only Kodi grabber via network- https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.kodi
• No USB grabber enabled

After restart memory usage is on 15-25 mb but grows with time.
