Playback Reporting plugin breaks dashboard restart button

[solidsnake1298]

When the playback reporting plugin is installed, when a restart from the dashboard is initiated it causes the server to fail to restart. The resulting error appears in the log.

Uninstalling the plugin resolved the issue. I was able to re-produce the problem when I re-installed the plugin.

Ubuntu 24.04 - bare metal
Jellyfin 10.9.7 - package install

I was also able to replicate on a Docker instance I have for testing.

I was able to produce and reproduce the problem also by activating and deactivating the plugin.

One thing I noticed was that a package install directly on Ubuntu will not attempt to restart after the fatal database error. But the docker instance will restart again and appears to recover on its own.

I added Restart = always to the systemd service because the generic linux install guide mentioned it and the docker guide also. This remedies the symptoms but not the cause

I have the same issue, also reported here.

For me this problem only seems to arise when you update the Jellyfin server version. So another work around is disable the plugin before updating Jellyfin server, restart server, update jellyfin server, restart server, enable plugin, and restart server. Now the plugin should no longer prevent restarts.

If you are currently experiencing the issue, try following the above instructions (minus the jellyfin server udpate) and it may resolve the issue until you update jellyfin server again.

Disable then restart server and it should update the plugin to 15.0.0.0 from 14.0.0.0

That worked! Thank you for your help.

But 15.0.0.0 still has this issue
