Hi I have jellyfin installed in a VM with 24 cores and 32GiB RAM (VM also used for Docker). Whenever I attempt to play higher quality files, jellyfin crashes after a few minutes. I haven't seen it struggle with lower quality media.

Here are some logs: FFmpeg.Transcode-2024-03-24_16-11-43_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_ce3f3ebf.log upload_org.jellyfin.androidtv_0.16.7_20240324161053_d2befd034e424a3490e7ea55af1fe1f2.log Fmpeg.Transcode-2024-03-24_16-11-38_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_dafa4555.log FFmpeg.DirectStream-2024-03-24_16-08-12_d48825174d455ae3ff859d8b28582853_dac7115f.log

I cannot for the life of me figure out whats wrong. I've tried disabling plugins, different clients, hard resets etc, but it still crashes.

Can someone enlighten me?? :(

Wow, I never considered that too many cores may be the issue. I will for sure try that.

I believe my cpu is compatible, but I believe this is not iGPU transcoding. Pretty sure my server does have an iGPU (although I've never actually plugged in a screen so I can't be sure). I will research passing through either of those.

I also read that it's possible to use a different server for just transcoding. I have an old laptop I've been considering setting for that, but it's network speeds are shite.

@sammeeeeeee @entropicdrift not sure if Intel igpus are the same, but my ryzen 5700g igpu won't transcoded unless when it boots it has a monitor plugged in and powered on...

Oh well that's definitely not possible for me (unless idrac counts)
