Jellyfin Server Stops after few minutes - Augie Ippolito - 2024-10-15

Running Jellyfin on windows, starting working fine for about a week, now is stopping almost immediately after starting. Have 40GB left on C: drive and have changed metadata and data directories to a larger drive, but Jellyfin keeps crashing. 

Here is last lines of log:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at BlurHashSharp.SkiaSharp.BlurHashEncoder.Encode(Int32 Component, Int32 Component, String filename, Int32 maxWidth, Int32 maxHeight) at Jellyfin.Drawing. ImageProcessor.GetImageBlurHash(String path, ImageDimensions imageDimensions) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Library.LibraryManager.UpdateImagesAsync(BaseItem item, Boolean forceUpdate)

Can you share your full log via pastebin?


RE: Jellyfin Server Stops after few minutes - Augie Ippolito - 2024-10-15

Thank you for your response. The whole log is 60MB and won’t paste into pastebin. Can I provide the log to you another way?


RE: Jellyfin Server Stops after few minutes - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-15

Sheesh! Do you have debug logging enabled?

You can zip the log file and attach it to a forum post. Use the full reply editor to attach files, click "New Reply" or "Preview Post".

Im sorry, even the zipped log is too big for the forum as the limit is 1MB. Can I maybe filter out specific keywords and send that?

Thank you for your time

If I knew exactly what the problem was I wouldn't need the log file.    Upside-down-face

Uhhhhhh.  Stop Jellyfin from the tray app, rename the current log file, start Jellyfin.  Once it finishes starting let it run for a few minutes than share the new log file via pastebin, if it is still small enough.

Attached is about 1/4 of the bottom part of the large log file. Hopefully that will be of use to you.

What I did in the meantime was delete all my libraries and add them back with metadata and data folders on the larger hard drive and jellyfin has not crashed in a few hours. Hopefully that was the issue and we can resolve the case. The libraries will take a while to completely populate again and hopefully jellyfin will stay stable.

Thank you.

There is a lot in there, but my first guess is that your D drive is unavailable for whatever reason.

Also, I always get a crash on the jellyfin android tv app and it needs to be restarted.

attached is the log for the client crash

thanks again

Any luck figuring out why Jellyfin says your D drive isn't available?

Regarding your TV, are you playing content directly from it or casting to it from another device?
