Jellyfin Docker Server suddenly won't start

[schtocker]

My Jellyfin set up has been running fine for months, but I was messing around today with adding an IPTV service to it, and at one point thought it might help to restart the Docker container but after I did so the server won't come back up. 

After reading several threads and suspecting plugins (specifically the Xtream plugin I was using for IPTV), I went through the config files and deleted all mention of that plugin, but again restarting the container it got stuck at the same point (according to the logs). Then I went through the config folder and deleted all mentions of Live TV and Recordings too, but again no joy. 

Log below;

It always get stuck after the "Filtered subnets:" line and doesn't report anything else. Again looking at other threads people often get errors right after this line, but my server doesn't even seem to be able to log the error. 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Maybe debug logging will give more info:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ug-logging

[schtocker]

It occurred to me that I also edited the Published Server URIs (because the Xtream plugin suggested it as troubleshooting) which I figured could be the problem, seeing as it appeared to get stuck at a networking stage. So I edited my changes out of the network.xml but it made no difference.

Then I read that if you just delete the network.xml, Jellyfin should repopulate it automatically so I figured it was worth ago and deleted it. Unfortunately it hasn't fixed it, but also Jellyfin is not recreating the .xml file, which seems like a bad sign too.

I enabled debug logging as instructed by the docs, new logs below (although the first line says "Failed to create/read logger configuration" there are definitely new lines in the log so, not sure if it worked?(

Actually got the debug logging working (the instructions as written in the docs didn't work for me), new log below. It seems to be something to do with the database reading, perhaps my database is buggered? None of the log lines actually seem like errors though.

What plugins do you have installed?

There's nothing in the log you posted that shows any issues. For sharing logs, try to utilize a bin site like privatebin.net as it makes parsing a lot easier. Also a full log would be helpful if this is just a snippet. Debug logging creates a LOT of background noise and that can also obscure issues. There's certainly a use for it, but currently there doesn't appear to be any useful information.
