Jellyfin service won't start (out of memory) - ZephyrFox - 2024-02-17
Hi there. I'm getting started with Jellyfin and installed it via the official install script for Ubuntu. Install seemed to go fine, but the service was not running after install. I tried starting the service a few times (no luck) and then rebooted the server and tried again. Still no dice.
Looking at the logs, it looks as if it runs out of memory almost instantaneously? Server has 11GB free, so I'm not sure about that. I did trying editing the service file to have it run as root in case there was some sort of permissions issue. The only thing I can think that is unusual is the usage of mediatree for the TV tuner.
I did try the docker container. That did run, but it didn't see my video card or my tuner. I'm not sure what steps I'd need to take to get my them accessible in the container.
I've included my system information and some of the logs below. Interestingly,
jellyfin --version immediately runs out of memory as well, but apt info jellyfin does show the version (10.8.13-1).

RE: Jellyfin service won't start (out of memory) - TheDreadPirate - 2024-02-17
Are you using a non-standard kernel? The current KWE kernel for 22.04.4 is 6.5.0-18-generic. Yours is 6.5.0-142312122121-generic. And your uname -v returned 0+mediatree+hauppauge~hwe-Ubuntu. Mine returns 18~22.04.1-Ubuntu
RE: Jellyfin service won't start (out of memory) - ZephyrFox - 2024-02-17
Yes, I'm using the mediatree/hauppauge/hwe version for my Hauppauge tuner. It's the latest release available: https://launchpad.net/~b-rad/+archive/ubuntu/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge. Installed following the instructions there and from: https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_linux.html
The tuner doesn't seem to work without this flavor kernel. Either that or I'm missing something else. In the past (years ago), I had Plex running with it (on an older kernel version though) and was able to watch live tv fine. One of the reasons I'm moving to Jellyfin is because the live tv functionality in Plex is rather garbage now- it will detect channels and build the guide fine, but it will only play channels about 10% of the time.
RE: Jellyfin service won't start (out of memory) - joshuaboniface - 2024-02-17
That's a strange one. I suspect the "out of memory" is a symptom of the program trying to allocate memory and getting denied for some reason, rather than it actually being out of memory per se. Is there anything in
dmesg from the kernel when it dies?
RE: Jellyfin service won't start (out of memory) - ZephyrFox - 2024-02-17
I checked
dmesg and it doesn't look like anything to me, but I'm not an expert on interpreting the results. I've included the full output below. Before running this, I rebooted the server again just to make sure everything is 'clean'. I've had to trim the dmesg output due to posting limits, full output here: https://pastebin.com/KypQLLpx.
