Music Assistant stops automatically enabling Smart Fades on a first startup unless the host meets its recommended six-gigabyte, four-core specification. Loading the feature’s audio-analysis software on a shared four-gigabyte Home Assistant machine risks exhausting memory and causing the operating system to terminate a process.
Marvin Schenkel keeps the lower four-gigabyte, two-core minimum for people who deliberately enable the feature themselves. Existing manual choices remain manual; the stricter requirement applies to automatic first-time setup.
