10.11 cannot stay running

[owkia8787]

It's been 3 days now and no jellyfin crashes since the last clean install. This time I didn't add my music folder, and never installed the usual plugins (Intro Skipper, TheTVDB, Playback Reporting). I'll add them back one by one and see if it remains stable..
Anyone else experiencing these crashes using these plugins?

Try adding your music library back in first and see what happens.

Based on mine and another user's experience, I'm going to guess that is what's causing it. Though, I obviously can't guarantee it.

Well, music was added back in and its been running for over 2 days with no crashes as of yet, 2 media scans performed without issue.
Added back TheTVDB plugin, will see how that goes.

Hmm. Very interesting. If you could keep us updated as you add plugins back in, I definitely want to hear the outcome.

I do have Intro Skipper and I believe TheTVDB plugins installed, but I don't see how those would affect scanning the music library, but not the movies or TV show libraries.

Update: So after running with TheTVDB plugin for days with no issues, I installed 10.11.4, playback reporting, and the skip intro plugin. random crashing again.
Disabled intro skipper plugin and will see what happens...

I still haven't added my music library back, not until it gets sorted out. It would seem that the TVDB plugin might be what's causing the issue as I also have that installed, but I'm not smart enough to know why. When I added my music library I only had "enable library" and "enable real time monitoring" checked, everything else was left unchecked and I still had crashing. Just putting that out there.

I've been following this thread for a while, since I'm experiencing the same problem - after upgrading from 10.10.7 to 10.11.2 (and then subsequent minor versions, and currently to the latest unstable version), I'm seeing jellyfin.exe crashing roughly every 18 hours or so.

The jellyfin log doesn't tell me much, apart from that it crashes immediately after a database optimization - it appears to be after every second optimization after restarting the server. The log, up to the crash has the following (nothing prior to this for 6 hours):

This error has been consistent through the various 10.11 (and "10.12") releases.

If it's useful, here's the jellyfin log after I restart the server:
