Jellyfin Breaks randomly - Impsux - 2025-08-17
Jellyfin gets stuck on the splash screen when I open it and when I try to close the server and restart it I get this error. This has happened to me twice. The first time was when I installed it for the very first time. After using Jellyfin for a month or so it happened again. I went to watch a show and it would never load, that's when I noticed this problem happened again. I fixed it last time by reinstalling it twice and it randomly fixed it on the second try. I'm worried about reinstalling it again and losing all my settings.
Here is the latest created log file.
