Jellyfin Server Crash When Quickly Stopping Playback - Obijc - 2025-04-30

Hello,

I'm opening a thread here because I believe my issue is not a bug, but rather a configuration problem with my setup.
Context:
I have a user who uses Jellyfin. When I start playing a video and stop it a few seconds later, it causes the entire Jellyfin server to crash, interrupting playback for everyone.
Here is the relevant part of the logs.
Details about my setup:
  • Debian 12 machine virtualized with Hyper-V
  • Jellyfin running in Docker with the LinuxServer Jellyfin image
  • Transcoding handled by an RTX 2070
  • 6 CPU cores
  • 12 GB RAM
  • Jellyfin version 10.10.7
Attached is the log showing a WebSocket error (likely related to the playback I stopped just before the crash), as well as CPU and RAM usage graphs. You can clearly see the issue at 9:57 PM, with a CPU spike that probably crashes the service and a memory drop when it restarts.
The issue occurs from time to time. It seems to affect different types of content, but I'm not completely sure.

Thanks in advance for your help.
