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.
The sqlite database that Jellyfin uses tends to get corrupted easily, especially if the disk gets full.
The main big feature that Jellyfin devs are working right now is a complete overhaul of the internal database system:

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.
