Why am I seeing this issue too?
A whole bunch of .ts, .mp4, and .mpu files were accumulating in /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes/ and eventually filled up my local disk, causing Jellyfin to crash on my Debian server.
To prevent it from happening again, I ended up setting up a cron job that deletes everything in that folder every hour:
0 * * * * rm -rf /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes/*
Is this a common problem, or is there a way Jellyfin is supposed to clean up these files automatically?
