It's already installed, and the encoder path is only this: <EncoderAppPathDisplay />

Change that line to match what I provided.

Ok, so I looked in that folder and the folder doesn't exist, but it has a ffmpeg. It is telling me however that it is installed, is this a case of something not being removed properly and Ubuntu thinks it's still there?

What are the contents of /etc/jellyfin/encoding.xml? Is there a value for this line?
Code:<EncoderAppPathDisplay>/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPathDisplay>
Is jellyfin-ffmpeg installed?
Code:sudo apt list --installed | grep ffmpeg

Also make sure you install jellyfin-ffmpeg instead of plain ffmpeg.
Code:sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg6
Alright, so I just removed the Jellyfin-ffmpeg, and installed it again, and added the correct route in the encoding.xml, restarted the server, and the couple of test videos I tried worked like a charm. I believe when I reinstalled Jellyfin and the ffmpeg, it must not have took away everything the first time, and Ubuntu thought it was still there. I possibly would have thought to try that again, but not as soon as I would've on Windows (where I do most my computing) I'm still working on learning Linux, and appreciate your help in this fix, my son thinks he's being punished when certain things don't work for him.
