Jellyfin Media Player crashing/causing graphics reset on Fedora KDE 43(6.18)

[djgallentine45-source]

Describe the bug
When trying to use Jellyfin after updating to 6.18, the app will always prompt for the server IP/domain. While trying to play content, it will freeze for 10-15 seconds, and proceed to crash. It will sometimes result in a graphics driver reset, and possibly freezing the DE. When going back to 6.17, everything works normally.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Jellyfin Desktop application
2. Click connect when prompted for IP/domain
3. Select any content to watch
4. Wait 10-15 seconds for application to crash or graphics driver to reset.

Expected behavior
User should not be prompted to connect to server every log-in and content should play as normal.

Desktop:

• OS: Fedora KDE
• Version 43(6.18)
• Jellyfin Version 1.12.0
• Installation Method: Flathub package

Additional context
It caused a bad enough driver crash that it did artifact one of my screens and froze the entire desktop to point I had to hard shut down a few times. When switching back to 6.17, everything works as expected, without issue.

Jellyfin Media Player is now Jellyfin Desktop on Flathub. https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.jellyfin.JellyfinDesktop

Do you still experience the issue with that one?

It worked for one title, then when trying another it froze my desktop environment and artifacted severely. Had to hard reset my PC.

I am leaning towards a regression of something kernel/driver related since it doesn't happen on 6.17. Other users have reported some issues on 6.18 with AMD GPUs crashing and freezing their systems. I believe it might be related to this.
