Jellyfin Transcode directory in RAM breaks any trascoding in the app

[hugalafutro]

updated to EE

1. play file that will direct stream
2. try lowering the bitrate to force transcoding - fatal playback error
3. change Transcode dir to Temporary on Disk in Jellyfin app options
4. Redeploy
5. Everything works including HW transcoding with nvidia card

for reference the path when temporary in ram was: /mnt/.ix-apps/docker/volumes/ix-jellyfin_tmp/_data/ perms were drwxrwxrwt

and with temporary on disk it is: /mnt/.ix-apps/docker/volumes/ix-jellyfin_config_transcodes/_data and perms drwxr-xr-x

Hello, was tmpfs size enough for the transcode? Can you grab the logs from jellyfin when the error happens?

Thanks

I had the logs, but due to who I am as a person I forgot to attach sorry. The tmpfs was set to 500 https://o.o5.ddns.net/yXMc0 https://o.o5.ddns.net/kLVXb

I dont see anything helpful in the logs, Can you trying increasing it to lets say 4000.

Also can you shell in the container and navigate to /config/transcodes and try to create a file? eg touch test.txt

in ram, size 4000
