Goodmorning, anyone noticed a constant memory increase on home assistant when running music assistant.
HA starts with 1.2gb mem , after starting MA mem increases every few seconds until it reaches the max amount of 8 gb after a few hours.
When i stop MA, mem drops back to 1,2gb.

Running haos on proxmox

Where do you check? Don't trust the PVE stats. Use the glances addon to see what causes it.

in pve and in haos system/hardware

PVE also counts cache so not that useful. Monitor the processes with glances.

will install glances and see.

#

i'll be back 🙂

A picture would be better in this case. If you do share command outputs use a code block so the formatting is preserved.

mem for music assistant in glances rises with 5mb every few seconds, all other mems are stable.

Press Z and M to show processes and sort by memory.

No.

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

No need in this case though.

I don't use Music Assistant myself so I'm not sure how much it's supposed to use but I would be surprised if 2G+ is normal. Right now it's still okay.

it will go on like that until 8gb is reached. at least that was yesterday.. i will track it for the next few hours and report back. Thanks for helping me Impact!

I just checked the docs and they say 2G is the minimum.

Yup. Maybe another MASS user will chime in.

still increasing the memory... maybe deinstall and try beta, see if problem occurs there to?

calm tide May 12, 2025, 9:35 AM

Update: beta did the same, i started out of the box and connected to hass, added providers, speakers etc... all went well and memory stayed perfectly stable at 78mb, until i added squeezelite as player provider. It started increasing the mem again, same as before, no speaker added. Disabled squeezelite and restarted mass was back to normal. Enabling again and problem is back. After disabling Discovery server in the squeezelite settings the memory stabilized, rebooting also fine. Enabled the SL Discovery server back again and memory is fine too. Then booted my picoreplayer and played some stuff, no increasement anymore! So for now i would strongly suggest that the problem is caused by Squeezelite player provider setting > Discovery server. This solved my issue, but may help others..👍 🖖
