Jellyfin does not have its own playback engine. We use open source players like MPV in Jellyfin Media Player. But all/most of our other clients we are reliant on how tolerant the device's embedded player is to malformed/corrupt files. Most tend to skew towards requiring files be formatted properly and standards compliant while having a low tolerance for corruption.
Thanks for teaching me how to remux. I am going to write a script and have it roll through all those files.
As far as I'm concerned this issue is resolved! thanks.
Shameless plug for this other issue I am working on: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-purpose-of-force-transcode-in-user-settings
