How to get crashing DLNA to auto restart?

[reminator]

Complete Jellyfin newbie here. I have 10.8.13 running on Win 10, using DLNA to serve my LG smart TV. It is working generally, but it seems that the DLNA server/feature is crashing all on its own with no activity on the TV.

How do I 1) debug this (I've turned on DLNA logs but can't find them) and 2) is there an option to have the DLNA server restart automatically?

The way that I get it back is to go into the DLNA web admin panel, turn off the server, save, turn on the server, save, and it comes back immediately.

Can you share your jellyfin logs with us via https://sourceb.in/ ? That should give us a place to start with.

C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\log

The log's contaminated with several thousand entries from the initial indexing.

I'll delete it, restart, and let things run until the server crashes once or twice again. I'll follow up probably in a day or two.

I don't have any desire to post or quote zillions of log lines looking like this:

Code:

[2024-01-17 22:57:52.095 -08:00] [INF] [76] Emby.Dlna.ContentDirectory.ContentDirectoryService: StreamBuilder.BuildVideoItem( Profile="LG Smart TV", Path="W:\Bigly\Air.Crash.Investigation.S21E04.Miracle.On.The.Alps.480p.x264-mSD[TGx]\Air.Crash.Investigation.S21E04.Miracle.On.The.Alps.480p.x264-mSD.mkv", AudioStreamIndex=null, SubtitleStreamIndex=null ) => ( PlayMethod=DirectPlay, TranscodeReason=0 ) "media:/videos/0f9655e7-a47a-328d-65b3-a3cedb005f54/stream.mkv?MediaSourceId=0f9655e7a47a328d65b3a3cedb005f54&Static=true&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=ac3&AudioStreamIndex=1&api_key=<token>&Tag=8f431aa948d3f51180da93f58b04eb3a"

So, let me know what to look for and where?

I've had DLNA server running and restarted a few times the past 24 hr with nothing being served from the computer to the TV.

I'm all good with next level perl -e 'grep [blahblahblahblah]' and levels beyond that

I'd still like to see the full log, if possible. It helps me get a better idea of the health of your setup and perhaps context clues that seem unrelated, but may point us in the right direction.

I don't really want to do that.

Here's this, though. There is an Linux ISO apparently causing an error, but I have no idea if that's even relevant. I'll be glad to look for specific things.

NOTE: I'm gathering that the "DLNA logs" are in fact the (very numerous, >100 MB/day) log lines with "Dlna" in them.

I also notice that stopping and starting the DLNA feature does not appear to add any new entries to the log.
