Transcoding Works Perfectly until It Suddenly Doesn't

[bitmap]

Hey! I was having the same issue, and I was able to fix it. In my case, it had to do with some GPU check causing the transcoding to fail every few hours, forcing me to reboot.

Try something for me and tell me what happens:

While your transcoding is working, stop the video, go to your server's terminal and type in "sudo systemctl daemon-reload". Now go back to the video stream and see if transcoding is working still. If it's not, I know what's up

I tried this and transcoding didn't stop at all. Might not be this then.

UPDATE: I closed out of the video stream and tried starting it again after the daemon-reload, now I'm getting fatal playback error. Maybe this is the issue after all?

Code:

[20:29:30] [ERR] [15] Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Update: An exception occurred in the database while saving changes for context type 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.JellyfinDbContext'.
Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException (0x80004005): SQLite Error 5: 'database is locked'.

There's your issue. It may not be the root cause, but it's what is causing problems now. Locked DB = bad juju. Lemme see what I can figure out. Stay tuned.
