Help, Playback randomly stops - Ascendiowl - 2025-07-14
Hey,
because of the same problem I experience now with Jellyfin, I switched over from Emby to Jellyfin in hopes to get rid of that problem.
After using Emby / Jellyfin for almost two years without any problems, I now encounter an error where I can't find a solution for.
Whenever I'm watching movies or shows, the playback just randomly stops. It sometimes happens after just 5 minutes into a movie, and sometimes after watching several episodes of a show.
I thought switching from Emby to Jellyfin would resolve this issue, but it persists; even on another virtual machine and a fresh installation.
This is the the last log where the playback just stopped again:

What stands out is the following:
[matroska,webm @ 0x55c6a6cce300] File ended prematurely
Jellyfin version is: 10.10.7
I'm just wondering why this error just started to occur after no problems for almost two years.
I'd be thankful ro receive any form of help.
