I’m starting to wonder if it’s just that the player isn’t releasing memory allocated to load the apps under services when they are exited.
Yes, that’s what most of us around the forum have meant with the use of the phrase “memory leak”. That whatever code is supposed to cause the system memory to be freed up when you exit an app is broken. It’s particularly bad with the YouTube Leanback app, but people are saying it happens to some extent with all of the apps (that’s circumstantial though–whereas the problems with the Leanback app seem universal and pretty much anyone can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt with a single use by logging in, linking to a YouTube account–ESPECIALLY the version where you start the playback on your desktop, then playing some longer videos).
Here’s a entry in the “WD Ideas” area that tech support actually seems to see. Go there if this bug really bothers you and give a Thumbs up using the Blue Arrow on the left side to let WD know you agree this needs to be addressed (you can also add comments on the bottom).
