Even if it's just transcoding audio, the entire transcode needs to be stored somewhere.
It's possible and common for transcodes to take up as much space (or more) as the original video does.
So while you're transcoding something, it can run out of space causing the transcode to fail.
That was my original thinking as the transcode path *is* on the boot drive.
When the errors happened I glanced at my Proxmox dashboard on my phone and only saw 1/2 full. I wasn't really paying attention so can't remember if it was RAM or Storage that I looked at so this info is pointless.
But even so, if my available storage for transcode cache is ~8.5GB and the movie file is only 4GB (which it is), shouldn't that leave plenty of room?
If I was watching other transcoded media an hour or two before could that have filled the storage? I'm not sure how long transcodes are kept in the cache other than the overnight cleaning. I have "Delete Segments" disabled so it's possible the storage was full which is why I was encountering the brief error? If this is the case is Jellyfin "smart" enough to delete the old transcodes out of the cache to make room for what it is currently transcoding? If not then how was I able to continue viewing?
