Thanks @asdffdsa . It is working as expected.

I know this issue doesn't belong here. Just asking for any help. If anyone faced earlier. Apologies in prior.

Currently using jellyfin docker image from https://www.linuxserver.io/

Facing issue of high cpu usage while streaming in night hours. I use jellyfin for android tv, android phone & web based on windows pc.

But when I stream contents in night time.

There is high usage of cpu for FFMPEG. Here below is image from linux server terminal. Any solution to fix this.

And system load reaches more than 8.0. Due to which playback becomes unstable & it just stucks.

asdffdsa · January 18, 2022, 9:35pm

well, notice that jellyin is using 4.0% cpu

my guesstimate is that jellyfin has a scheduled task that runs at night to re-scan the libraries.
and jellyfin, like most/all media servers, use ffmpeg to analyze the media files.

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 18, 2022, 9:38pm

But ffmpeg shows now with high usage. Anyway to limit it..??

asdffdsa · January 18, 2022, 9:42pm

yes, there are many ways to limit cpu usage per process

Animosity022 · January 18, 2022, 9:46pm

When Jellyfin is transcoding content, it's using ffmpeg to do that.

Options:

Buy a better server
Buy better players that don't need to transcode
Get media in lower quality formats so you don't have to transcode larger rips

You can see it in your console for Jellyfin that it's transcoding.

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 18, 2022, 10:06pm

@Animosity022

Ohhh.. Okay..


- My server has 4 core cpu & 24 GB RAM

- Need to focus on that

- Media sizes are low only. Between 600 - 700 MB files of web series.

asdffdsa · January 18, 2022, 10:14pm

the question are:
--- does this playback issue only occur at night, but never during the day?
--- at night, when not playing a video, is jellyfin and ffpmeg using a lot of cpu resources?

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 19, 2022, 5:56pm

Yeah never during day I have experienced the issue.
Any time of day only jellyfin process is running but only consumes 4-5 % of cpu. But at time of stream ffmpeg shows and uses cpu upto 350%.

This is point where system starts struggling.

asdffdsa · January 19, 2022, 6:02pm

well, did you see my post, to check to see if jellyfin is running a scheduled tasks at night?

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 21, 2022, 10:46pm

Yes I have gone through your post & visited this below post too. And started using below command on terminal. But the solution is temporary as when I pause / stop streaming. command get killed by showing "process is dead"

Limit CPU Usage of a Process in Linux with CPULimit Tool).&text=Rather%20than%20limit%20a%20process's,%2D%2Dkill%20or%20%2Dk%20option


Command used :-

sudo cpulimit --pid 17918 --limit 20 --background

Issue with this is when I pause / stop streaming. Process gets killed.

I need to have cpulimit based on COMMAND. In this case which ffmpeg. Something sort putting a bash script for ffmpeg only which condition defined. And making the bash script run in background all the time.

i could be wrong, but i keep asking and you never answer?

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 22, 2022, 3:02pm

May it conveyed like that. And apologies from my end.

I saw this post what was posted by you on above replies


https://scoutapm.com/blog/restricting-process-cpu-usage-using-nice-cpulimit-and-cgroups

And as per it I have used cpulimit solution.


check to see if jellyfin is running a scheduled tasks at night?

i could be wrong, but i keep asking and you never answer?

Jellyfin is deployed using docker container. And it run always.

But don't know how to check schedule tasks at night whether it is running or not..??

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 22, 2022, 3:07pm

Below snap is just taken now.. By using top command..

asdffdsa · January 22, 2022, 3:14pm

do a quick internet search

Using the web interface
`Go to Dashboard -> Scheduled Tasks

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 22, 2022, 7:57pm

I use vm from oracle cloud. And not finding the required thing.

On dashboard page I found below :-

asdffdsa · January 22, 2022, 8:11pm

i also use emby,

the schedule tasks applies to emby not the vm.
so using emby web interface dashboard, there is a section for scheduled tasks.

Rajesh_Sahoo · January 22, 2022, 8:16pm

I have started using jellyfin. As emby was streaming only for 1 minute or so. Not sure.

So, moved to jellyfin.

asdffdsa · January 22, 2022, 8:19pm

find which tasks run at night.
