Jellyfin freezing my pi4b - CacheToWin - 2025-02-15

I have recently changed from Plex to jellyfin because I didn't like it anymore.

Jellyfin really has been a blast but for some reason my pi sometimes completely freezes and I need to reboot it before it works again.

First idea was high temperature but I made a temp log script that looks completely fine (end of post).

I did notice when I would open jellyfin on phone. Close it and later (10-15min) watch on tv the pi would have alot of usage. When Running top I would have multiple jellyfin processes running. My guess is that for some reason a couple of apps keep running in the background and my pi just can't handle it and freezes. 

Any idea what I could do/test? Or how I can make sure the instance from tv etc is completely 'dead'.

Info:
Jellyfin running inside container on portainer (along side other containers).
Version: 10.10.4 
Jellyfin resources are already limited with portainer. Just added ram to it.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

Is Jellyfin running off of the SD card or an attached SSD?

What logging do you need. Seems it doesn't really log anything... It does in portainer but because if the error happends it freezes my complete system everything resets...

It worked ok for a week. now I tried on tv using the android tv app and it froze again.
I think it always happends with An tv app and if I switch between series.

Running jellyfin container on sd card. I think it's kinda good Quality (for An SD card)

The entire Jellyfin log. So I can see what, if anything, Jellyfin was doing prior to the system freezing. If you can also capture the docker daemon logs, that would also be helpful.
