Question about memory about livestreamer HOT 2 CLOSED

Well I have the problem that WCS stops sometimes the stream but is not finished.

I will workaround this issue by making some crontab who checks if PID run and if PID not valid; restart your script and increment filename. If the PID still runs after 1H i kill it and restart and increment.

So not really a problem. Just tell me if it's normal that RAM is used when dumping directly to file.

Yes there is a problem with memory usage right now, this is why I've hold off on releasing a new version for a while. This is caused by a bug in python-sh, but has been fixed in it's dev branch, so it will probably soon be released. You can use the pip version of livestreamer for now if you want to avoid this memory problem.
