    Jellyfin always irrecoverably crashes for me over time. It also suffers from permissions issues where videos won’t play sometimes due to a a transcode folder being full or something like that.

    I want to use it but it always breaks.

      I’ve used it for about 2 years and it has been mostly stable. The only major issue I had was about a year and a half ago where it got stuck in a infinite crash due to a corrupt database. It was a known bug that was fixed.

      What’s your setup and hardware look like? I’m just curious.

      My jellyfin service has been up for about six months, and has played probably 100+ shows and movies, for myself internally and a few external clients over that time. My hardware is a HP elite desk mini and a 10TB USB HDD

        I have some ancient desktop that accesses media on my NAS. I run Plex on the same PC no problem. Stopped running Jellyfin because of the above-mentioned issues.
