Doesn't freeze for me, what sort of hardware are you running it on?
Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

The freezing doesn't happen all the time, but often enough that I needed to ask! LOL
Just to reiterate, the video will continue to play, but the actual interface is frozen, so I can't pause or change the volume. A page refresh fixes the problem, sometimes for the remainder of the video, or for less than a minute. It's totally random.
Weird for the UI to be crashing, it's all javascript, once it's loaded in your browser it's loaded. Are there any extensions that are causing issues? Anything in the browser console? Network calls hanging?
Are there any extensions that are causing issues?
Very doubtful, as I've tried this on vanilla installations of various browsers.
Anything in the browser console?
Now that I check, I do see some DOM exception errors in the console, which seems to happen when the UI freezes.
The errors come up after I'm able to interact with the UI (video remains playing throughout):
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.
This might be the first place I should look to find a solution.
I haven't run in to any freezing issues either. It sounds like it might be a network issue, do you access the service over your local network or by external DNS?
Not to hijack your post, but do you use tubearchivist-jf-plugin for getting metadata in to jellyfin? I cannot seem to get that plugin to function on my set up for some reason which makes it very hard to view the tubearchivist library on jellyfin 😢

Man, I went through several Jellyfin metadata plugins with issues. But that one did work "suddenly", and I don't recall any specific steps taken to get it working.
I posted about this months ago as I really wanted TA working with Jellyfin.
Interesting, yeah I did see in the github issues that Jellyfin itself was a bit unpredictable in triggering the right information requests from the plugin and that it may suddenly start working just because Jellyfin finally fired off correctly. I guess I'll just be patient 😅
Yeah, I think it really could have just been that. I had issues with titles looking OK, but the descriptions were gibberish. It made it impossible to really use. Then it suddenly worked, and it's been fine ever since. LOL
I use it a lot and it never froze as far as I know
Which browser?
And do you usually just set the video to play and leave it, or are you pausing a lot?
If I just play a video, I don't notice the problem. But if I'm watching an instructional video and need to rewind, pause, etc., then it's really apparent that it froze up.
Firefox, and yes I pause often during big videos, i don't rewind much tho
I wonder what heck is going on, then.
I've used multiple computers with FF, and it happens on all of them. Granted, this problem happens no matter what browser I use, so I know it's not a FF problem.
