Can you share your docker compose?

I am using Linuxserver's docker image, but the issue that is happening occurs when using either the official image or Linuxserver's image.

Code:
version: '3'
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    restart: unless-stopped

I revisited your original post. I noticed you have decode acceleration enabled for HEVC, which your GPU does not support.

Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding. Check MPEG2, VC1, VP8, and H264 for the decode section. Uncheck everything else. This will cause those codecs to decode on the CPU instead of the GPU.

After fixing a few other errors by restarting the docker stack and fixing folder permissions, it works! Thanks so much!

Hi, sorry for the delay, I've been very busy.
Jellyfin has been running all this time without any issues since the last reboot.
Today I updated the GPU firmware (via Windows 11 bare metal) and motherboard BIOS.

If this problem occurs again I will investigate further and post new LOGS in case something changes.

Thanks.
