The pipe is being closed. (os error 232)

Is there an existing issue for this?

Have you ran the program with debug logging?

• [X] I used --log-level=debug when running the program

What went wrong?

When Jellyfin video is paused this error happens every 15-45 seconds and leads to Discord activity disappearing temporarily. This also occasionally happens while a video is running, I've been trying out different versions but can't really find any common denominator.

how much ram do you have?

[MeronNagy]

how much ram do you have?

Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K 3.40 GHz Installed RAM 64,0 GB (63,6 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I don't think its RAM related even at 15% Memory Usage (only Discord and Jellyfin client running) it happens occasionally.

yeah I was asking cause ive been seeing that when full on ram even though jellyfin-rpc only uses around 5mb on my system, maybe try increasing wait time jellyfin-rpc.exe --wait-time 5 the default is 3

[MeronNagy]

Increasing the wait time helped thanks! It still happened roughly once an hour with --wait-time 5 but has been running with zero issues now for the past 5 hours with --wait-time 7

For anybody also encountering this using Services: Replace {USERNAME} with your Username Update C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\winsw.xml arguments line:

<arguments>--wait-time 7 -c C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\main.json -i C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\urls.json</arguments>

In the terminal:

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\winsw.exe stop
C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\winsw.exe uninstall
C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\winsw.exe install
C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin-rpc\winsw.exe start

hmm i might have to adjust the code if this is the case

[Radiicall]

So discord only allows updating the status 5 times per 20 seconds, this does not comply with my code which currently does 6-7 updates per 20 seconds
