Description of the bug

After using Jellfin on Ubuntu 24.04 I see still the memory use et increased.

jellyfin 2.27 GiB /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ff ...

I know this issue is reported many times and not only by me. There are no fixes for it and it make thel computer very slow.
Jellyfin is nice but this memory use is annoying as it start from about 360 Mbyte until above value in two days.
Please development team please do something on this

Reproduction steps

  1. install Jellyfin on Ubuntu
  2. start Jellyfin
  3. Do a library scan and see the memory increasing
  4. after library scan memory become a little less but with a new library scan the memory use becomes higher
  5. in steps the memory use increased

What is the current bug behavior?

see log file

What is the expected correct behavior?

Stable use of memory and if extra memory is used for a library scan this extra memory use is cleared after finishing the scan.
