System hung with out of application memory error. Roon was using 128 GB out of 192 GB of memory. Was unable to kill or force quite the application. Had to reboot

Description of Issue

Tell us about the problem you’re having in as much detail as possible. Screenshots are always appreciated!

Robert - Wasn’t able edit post after posting to modify as could not edit for some reason. Already posted critical machine information. Roon was not playing. Network is ethernet or WiFi depending on device - an Oppo, Marantz receiver, iPhone and iPad. Maybe 5k personal tracks plus Tidal and Roon.

System unusable due to out of memory error forcing reboot.

That’s a crazy amount of (real) memory usage!

How large is the library?

Is this Roon Core or Roon Remote? Or are you just running Roon as both Core and Remote on this Mac?

Best practice is a dedicated Core which runs nothing else other than Roon Server and other devices act as Remotes.
