| madVR Envy Core Mk2 | Works Local | Memory runaway on standby fixed after py-madvr2 1.9.1 bumpSaved copyThe problem The madvr integration can enter a silent memory runaway when the connected Envy drops and re-acquires its video signal. HA core's event loop wedges (supervisor watchdog misses API health checks), memory grows 3 GB in under 3 minutes with zero log output, and the kernel OOM-kills core (exit code 137). Likely related: #154722 (same symptom, signal 9 crashes on Envy on/off, closed stale), the `Empty message received` debug line there suggests the notification reader looping on empty reads from a dead connection. Possibly also related to #170624 (swallowed exceptions in madvr). … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #176016 · 2026-07 |
