Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and FLAC files - rekna - 2024-10-10

I know I'm running a bit unorthodox setup. (I do have a vps running jellyfin too) but I have a Pi Zero 2 W laying around doing nothing, and thought it could be fun to see if I could run jellyfin.

I currently have it running, and it seems to play mp3 files without any issues.

But if I try to play FLAC files, it plays fine for a little while but then stop completely. I cannot seek the song without it stopping.
It doesn't make a difference using the web interface or an app.

Ram usage seems fine, and I can't find any transcoding settings that makes a difference.

I'm running Raspian Bookworm, with no desktop environment.

Anyone have a suggestion why this happens?

We don't recommend SBCs, especially SBCs with less than 1GB of RAM. The exception are Rockchip based SBCs.

You also don't mention what OS or install method.

I'm aware they are not recommended, which makes perfect sense. I just wanted to experiment, and try it out, and see what happens.

I have updated the OP with the OS i'm using, sorry for not including that.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via pastebin?


RE: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and FLAC files - rekna - 2024-10-14

Sure, here it is:

Can you zip the log and attach it to a forum post? The pastebin link is returning a 403, as in the log is no longer available or may be pending moderation or something.

Here is the log attached.

Are the shut downs I am seeing trigger by you? Or is Jellyfin shutting down on its own?


RE: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and FLAC files - rekna - 2024-10-14

The shutdowns are triggered by myself.

The site runs fine when I play FLACs, it just stops playing after some time, but the server seems to runs fine.

Are you access the host remotely? The couple of IPs in your log are definitely not LAN IPs. Did you manually setup port forwarding? Or did you use "automatic port mapping"?
