Jellyfin uses 100% CPU Power

[zwck]

[*]The version of Jellyfin you are running (e.g. 10.8.10)
[*]Your installation method and platform (e.g. Linux Docker, Debian repository, Windows installer, etc.)
[*]A brief description of the issue as your thread subject, using the description for additional important context only if required
[*]A full explanation of what is happening, versus what you expect to happen
[*]What client(s) you are using and how the issue manifests
[*]Any other context you might think is relevant

----------------------------------------

• Version 10.8.10
  
• Linux Docker (linuxserver.io image), with HA - Nividia, on Debian 12
  

• Every so often the Jellyfin Server locks up with 100% CPU usage. And I am not sure why. I have been using Jellyfin for ages, and rarely have problems I cant fix, but this one really baffels me. Attached there is a sanitized and shortend log file. (2.1mb is painfully small)

So what the actual error is I'm not sure, maybe somebody else can steer you in the right direction, but I'd say the source of your issue might be your Kodi Sync. It looks like it's pounding the hell out of your server and hitting an error every 10 minutes or so:

Code:

That's not the full trace, just a portion of it to get a bit of context. The Kodi Sync is pulling items from the library 200 at a time, then hitting this item and getting a null reference error. It's causing it to fail out and retry, then it fails, retries, ad nauseam. You can find this error over and over and over and over in your log and you might be able to find the ID for the media file and figure out what it is from there. I would guess this is the problem. Infinite loop of updates/syncs that never end.

Thank you very much @bitmap, I deactivated the Kodi plugin and will see what happens, and of course report back
