:
[21:01:43 CET] <BBB> michaelni: can you provide a graph with memory usage
depending on the number of streams?
[21:01:52 CET] <BBB> michaelni: I think based on that we can define a
sensible default
[21:02:25 CET] <BBB> if we use 100GB with 10 streams, we should probably
limit it to <10, but if memory usage doesn t change much between 10k and
100k streams, maybe a limit of 1M streams is acceptable
[21:02:35 CET] <BBB> michaelni: assuming the goal is to prevent OOM
scenarios
[21:11:41 CET] <michaelni> i think one actual OOM case was with around
30k-60k streams, the exact usage likely depends on the demuxer
