RE: Resuming play, how? - naeco - 2024-01-20
Server: HCPC
Version: 10.8.13
Operating System: Windows 11
Architecture: X64
I installed using jellyfin_10.8.13_windows-x64.exe
I can't really recall how I installed it. Do you think a reinstallation helps? What do I have to pay attention during installation? Do I have to run the .exe as admin?
I don't really understand why the video codec is null. What do you think may have caused it? The logs I shared didn't provide enough details?

either ffprobe is broken or the video file is; run ffprobe manually and see what it outputs
RE: Resuming play, how? - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-20
Its possible that the files weren't properly authored. You can try using ffmpeg to recreate the files, this requires no reencoding. On the command prompt try this. I've only done this in Linux so I'm not certain if simply using "ffmpeg" in Windows is enough.
Code:
ffmpeg -fflags genpts -i "C:\path\to\video.mkv" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 0:s -map_chapters 0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s copy outputFile.mkvRE: Resuming play, how? - naeco - 2024-01-21
If I understand the instruction correctly, the only option is to recreate the video files? I have about 10TB of media. So, that is not feasible, not to mention that I have to do it for any new media added to my library.
Such a pity if resolving this issue requires so much work like that. Obviously it doesn't happen to everyone, I'm not sure what's so different about my media that made it like that.
RE: Resuming play, how? - tmsrxzar - 2024-01-21
the suggestion was to check 1 single file not 10TB of files
and to check ffprobe
if you have 10TB of broken files then that's an issue outside of jellyfin
RE: Resuming play, how? - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-21
Correct. For the known problematic file(s), re-package the file with the command I provided and try playing it again.

Hi guys!
Sorry it's been a busy week for me.
I tried running the ffmpeg command above and this is the result in the command prompt window: https://sourceb.in/lBsSBZPsYd
Let me know if I actually have to try the output file in Jellyfin to see if Resume Play works.
Edit: I tried playing the output file. Resume play didn't work.
RE: Resuming play, how? - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-26
Do you have any plugins that sync your watch status externally?
RE: Resuming play, how? - naeco - 2024-01-31
Yes, I instaled Trakt for that purpose but I don't think it's working. The watched status from Trakt is not synced to Jellyfin. But that's another problem at another time.
RE: Resuming play, how? - naeco - 2024-02-17
So I attempted to reinstalled the Jellyfin server. The resume function continues not working but now it's isolated to my main device only, the Samsung TV.
The Jellyfin client installed on that device is not officially supported, so I installed it via https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen.
The installation process for it is quite complicated, I'm not sure if I can go through it again to figure out what went wrong.
