I passed through my 2tb already old ssd. All 2tb is for transcoding. Now I need to get a new ssd just for my minecraft server passthrough.
One more thing Iād also check is whether the video has subtitles and if so whether jellyfin has it enabled on playback attempt - I remember reading somewhere ages ago, so quite older vers, that in some cases jf transcodes using CPU when subtitle streams need to be overlayed into output video streamā¦ that was also due to the ffmpeg/nvenc limits at the timeā¦ this would coincide with the 400% load on the CPU. However the extra diska space for transcode scratch area already pointed is also a good guess as often the space garbage collection and data moving around may debilitate the media serverās transcodingā¦ Either reason would lead to the process hanging awaiting transcoded stream thus at high CPU loads behaving as hung/dead/not-responding process that is then attempted to be killed and consequently jf crash ensuesā¦ If you have enough space give jellyfin more, and if you have a lot of RAM you might even want to consider allocating tmpfs/ramdisk for the transcode/scratch location instead as it could bolster any scratch cleanup tasks compared to spinning rust and nand flashā¦
