Jellyfin media player on MacOS becomes unresponsive - mikul - 2024-03-14
Jellyfin Media Player 1.9.1 on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 on an M1 Mac works fine for hours but will eventually become unresponsive. Sometimes it refuses to respond to any input, but it will often continue to work on the current screen although going to another screen is impossible. When the latter happens, I can start a new video if it's on the screen and the audio will play but the screen will be black. Quitting the app and starting it again makes everything work as normal.
The server (10.8.13) is running off of a NAS. When the player freezes, the server remains responsive including the webUI.
This has been happening since Ventura and at least the last 2 versions of the player.

There are several weird display related bugs in JMP, not just on Mac. AFAIK, there is no fix/workaround. Several of the display related issues are already closed in the git. Just a matter of when the next version gets cut and released.
I don't see anything resembling your specific issue, though.

Go ahead and submit a git ticket and provide the Jellyfin Media Player logs (not the server logs) and replication steps.
