Does the library only have audiobooks? So not ebook files? How many files are in the library? Do you have any logs from before the crash?

You can increase the amount of memory for the node process using the steps here: #3338 (comment)

Hi, @nichwall Thanks

There are only audiobooks in the library approx 70K.

There were nothing else in the logs other than what I posted.

I increased the memory size to 8GB and is working properly at present.
