High RAM usage with short videos #138
Comments
Can you see if the same happens when using another browser for watching short videos. |
I just did a test with Firefox, Brave and Chromium, and it seems to be an issue with chromium based browsers only. |
That's interesting, might be related to the broken chromium mpris implementation. I'll have to check it out. |
Well, in this scenario if I close the tab it's going to show Spotify. |
Did this happen again or are you able to recreate this issue? |
Yes, I'm still able to reproduce it. |
There is definitely a memory leak somewhere, as I had my gnome-shell killed due to OOM. In my case i had a day long session with some lengthy youtube videos (2-3 hours stream recordings), Spotify music (a few dozen of songs) and when i started to play a video in instagram, it immediately froze. Here are some related logs just before the crash.

I have the same problem, my system crashed after memory overload |
+, I have the same issue |
Describe the bug
When Media Controls is enabled, the RAM usage of gnome-shell goes up as I'm scrolling through YouTube shorts, TikTok or whatever, while another source of media is opened as well. This behavior no longer occurs when I restart my PC and do the same with the extension disabled.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
Memory usage should stay around the same, or at least not go that high.
Screenshots
- Normal RAM usage
- RAM usage after scrolling for about 2 minutes
