Hi I have jellyfin installed in a VM with 24 cores and 32GiB RAM (VM also used for Docker). Whenever I attempt to play higher quality files, jellyfin crashes after a few minutes. I haven't seen it struggle with lower quality media.

Here are some logs: FFmpeg.Transcode-2024-03-24_16-11-43_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_ce3f3ebf.log upload_org.jellyfin.androidtv_0.16.7_20240324161053_d2befd034e424a3490e7ea55af1fe1f2.log Fmpeg.Transcode-2024-03-24_16-11-38_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_dafa4555.log FFmpeg.DirectStream-2024-03-24_16-08-12_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_dac7115f.log

I cannot for the life of me figure out whats wrong. I've tried disabling plugins, different clients, hard resets etc, but it still crashes.

Can someone enlighten me?? :(

Doesn't the vm produce an overhead? More power consumption and it can't use the full capabilities of the machine?

There are many benefits to VMs. You can limit how much RAM is available to each one, so one app doesn't eat all of your RAM. Same with CPU. Virtual Machines can be backed up, uploaded to remote storage, and restored. When it's time to do a big update on your main machine (either changing OS or getting new hardware), restoring VM's is super simple compared to the alternative.

You can limit them in docker as well

https://phoenixnap.com/kb/docker-memory-and-cpu-limit You can spin up the same container on another machine with one command.

Docker seems to be easier, not?

Can run multiple different os's - I have truenas, windows server, Ubuntu server for docker, etc
