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?? :(

I have this issue whenever I have to deal with transcoding. The stream will usually die after a few minutes of watching. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary in the logs. I've just resigned myself to lugging around the device I have that can direct stream the files.

Are you using software transcoding?

It's supposed to be hardware transcoding with on an Intel cpu (using vaapi) . No idea if it's actually working.

Check your CPU usage. If it is lower then it is working
