I recently switched over from binhex-jellyfin to bbergle-jellyfin, since I couldn't get hardware transcode to work on binhex version with the iGPU.

Works fine in bbergle, but today I started receiving disk full warnings. Went from 95% to 99% over the course of a few hours.

I disabled all dockers, turned on bbergle-jellyfin, and it started filling up again.

 

A look at the logs from early morning shows :

Similarly, after restarting the container after a few hours I found lots of logs like below :

Can anyone here advise me on how to troubleshoot further, or limit what is happening to fill up space, and how to free the space back up?

For now I have disabled chapter image extraction in Jellyfin settings, as I was seeing a lot of those.

As for the Music folders, it looks like it was analyzing duration, not transcoding. At least I hope that to be the case.

 

I would still like to drill down a little deeper though to discover the causes and find a good solution.

All ideas welcome!
