FFmpeg Image Extraction Timeouts with Music Files - Twisting2481 - 2025-02-22
The image extractor appears to be failing with multiple FLAC files across different albums, causing Jellyfin to fail to extract the embedded album art. The error messages in the logs indicate that the FFmpeg process is timing out after 10 seconds:
Code:
MediaBrowser.Common.FfmpegException: ffmpeg image extraction timed out for file:"..." after 10000msDespite these errors, much of the album art in my library is properly recognized by the image extractor. Only some files fail to be extracted. If I enable musicbrainz and audiodb, it fills in most of the missing album art, but not all of it. The music is stored on an internal SATA HDD so it's hard for me to imagine that increasing the timeout would help, but I suppose it's possible. If I use any other media player with my library, it finds the album art no problem.
