Can you post your full jellyfin log via pastebin? The logs are found in /var/log/jellyfin and the file name starts with "log".
But this looks like you've recently added a lot of new content and it is scanning them into your library. You can try limiting the number of threads a library scan can spawn. Go to Dashboard > General, and set "Parallel library scan tasks limit" and "Parallel image encoding limit" to a non-zero number. Maybe 10? The default behavior is 2x your CPU threads, which would be 80. And that would definitely use a ton of memory.
