[Issue]: Audio Normalization Scheduled Task Errors

[jamieboxtechs]

Please describe your bug

I posted this in the forum first, and it was suggested that I create this post here, as the logging is showing a locked concat file, during the audio normalization scheduled task routine, that appears to be an under the hood problem, possibly a minor bug. Or it could be a plugin, maybe. The main log is sparse on the topic.

From the Forum (edited for brevity):

I recently reset my Jellyfin to a clean install on a new box.

The Audio Normalization scheduled task continues to fail. Log snip of the failure event and surrounding events is below.

Jellyfin Server and PC Specs:

Jellyfin 10.9.6
Windows Server (Win 11 Pro) running Jellyfin service
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
64GB DDR5-4800 RAM
NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB
OS Drive: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
Media Drive (all libraries): QNAP TS-932PX NAS with 5 x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 16TB in RAID5 connected with 10Gbps iSCSI link

Logging output with debugging on, including the contents of the concat file, which is displayed with the same data in every concat file. It never changes. My audio library is thousands of songs, including audiobooks, and the scheduled task never runs for more than 10 seconds before bombing out.

Hi, it seems like your issue report has the following item(s) that need to be addressed:

• The format of the environment section has been altered from the template.
• You have not provided the ffmpeg log unaltered from the server. Please provide a valid ffmpeg log.

This is an automated message, currently under testing. Please file an issue here if you encounter any problems.

I can confirm that this happens on my Jellyfin instance as well.

Audio normalization will run fine at the first time but whenever you try to fire the task again (doesn't matter if manually or automatically) it will only fail repeatingly. My logs show the same as above with the files being locked.

OS: Windows 10 64-Bit 22H2

GPU: GTX 960 4GB
RAM: 32GB DDR3
OS Drive: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

Jellyfin Version was 10.9.6 at that time (I'm currently setting a new clean instance up, would update on this later)

Same as the Logs from OP

Same issue on server 10.9.8, Windows 11.

[4g0tt3nSou1]

Not to flood the issue, but can confirm issue as well on 10.9.8, and now 10.9.11. Can provide/edit this to include logs as needed

[Cloweeee]

I can confirm that this issue is still present as of version 10.10.1
Are there any updates on this issue?
