SOLVED: Jellyfin Server Hangs HW Transcoding

[stnd]

Jellyfin writes transcodes to disk.  Are you running out of disk space?  You can change where Jellyfin writes transcodes to in Dashboard > Playback and have Jellyfin write them to a disk with more space.

Thank you. I upped the memory to 8GB and the disk space to 32GB and have been messing with the streams and so far so good. That must have been it and would explain why it maxed out resources and froze. I will use it today and if all is good, mark your post and thread solved.
