    I've installed Jellyfin for the first time. It's running as a service on a Debian 12 machine (i7-4790 @ 3.60GHz 8gb RAM). It's the first service I install on that machine that has managed to crash it twice in less than 24 hours (CPU overload, server unresponsive, hard reboot).

    The last relevant journal entry before the server stopped responding was:

    Code:
    jellyfin[904]: [06:18:20] [INF] Starting /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffprobe with args -analyzeduration 200M -probesize 1G -i

    The file it was trying to probe has this info (got by using regular ffprobe on another machine, not the version bundled with jellyfin):

    Code:
    Input #0, matroska,webm
    Metadata:
        encoder        : libebml v0.7.7 + libmatroska v0.8.1
    Duration: 01:50:29.87, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 8451 kb/s
    Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 1280x544, SAR 1:1 DAR 40:17, 24 fps, 24 tbr, 1k tbn
    Stream #0:1(fre): Audio: dts (dca) (DTS), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 1536 kb/s (default)

    I believe the crashes are related to some video codecs because another file, with the info below, was causing 100% processor usage (although not crashing) with no apparent reason, with hardware acceleration either enabled or off:

    Code:
    Input #0, matroska,webm
    Metadata:
        encoder        : libebml v1.2.3 + libmatroska v1.3.0
    Stream #0:0(fre): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 1476x1076 [SAR 1:1 DAR 369:269], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn (default)
      Stream #0:1(fre): Audio: flac, 48000 Hz, mono, s16 (default)
      Stream #0:2(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, mono, fltp, 192 kb/s

    Are there known problems of jellyfin getting caught in a loop like this running ffprobe? And is there anything I can do to avoid this?

    Thanks.
