Jellyfin struggling to play high quality files, crashing after a few minutes.

[Sammeeeeeee]

Hi

I have jellyfin installed in a VM with 24 cores and 32GiB RAM (VM also used for Docker).

Whenever I attempt to play higher quality files, jellyfin crashes after a few minutes. I haven't seen it struggle with lower quality media. 

Here are some logs:

I cannot for the life of me figure out whats wrong. I've tried disabling plugins, different clients, hard resets etc, but it still crashes.

Can someone enlighten me?? 

Thanks, Sam.
