Video crashes complete PROXMOX server

scharrin

Hello,

I recorded a video. The video looks okay. But when I try to watch the video it crashes the whole server after about 16 minutes. I retried it several times - but the server crashes always exactly at the same time.
Other videos also with runtime over 2 hours can be watched without any issue.

Now my setup:

Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.1.11 (installed all Updates)
LXC Container with Debian 13 with actual kernel and patches
Tvheadend runs in a Docker container installed from the official hub.docker.com: lscr.io/linuxserver/tvheadend:latest
Version of Tvheadend: HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2657_ge29336581

After running the video, after 16 minutes the video stops. The container on the Docker can't be stopped, the LXC container does not respond on reboot or shutdown.
Also the PROXMOX host can't be restarted (not with the WebUi and also no connection with ssh is possible)
The only way to restart the PROXMOX Server is to physical reset the server.
After the reboot, the server works again.
But when I play this video again - the same behavior as described above.

Has anyone an idea, how I can find the issue? Which log should I look at?

Best regards,
Christian

TVHeadend logs into syslog, take a look there what happens when it happens.

If nothing is found try to reproduce the Crash again, but this time with Debug Log enabled under TVH WebUI:

Configuration >Debugging > Configuration >

Enable syslog: YES
Debug to syslog: YES

Hello @user_xy-79,

how can I access the syslog? I am running tvheadend inside a docker container.

As the whole server freezes, I have to reboot the PROXMOX server before I can access the syslog.

Best regards

Hello,

I enabled the Debug log and copied the following lines from the Log-View of the TVHeadend Container:

But I can't see an issue in the log.

Hello,

I installed a VM within PROXMOX.

Now it works.
