Trickplay won't run - Orbstack, M1 Mac mini, new installation - wrtrt45 - 2025-04-25
Installed Jellyfin for the first time in an Orbstack container on an M1 Mac mini. Everything seems to work fine, except I'm not getting any preview images when attempting to scrub through my test video. When to the admin dashboard and attempted to run "Generate Trickplay Images" task, but it just sits at 0.0% without doing anything. All other tasks run and complete quickly. Any ideas where to start here? From the log, this looks to be the error?

I am getting a similar issue, although for me I installed it through the dmg file. Did you happen to be able to solve this issue? I tried turning off all forms of hardware acceleration but it still wasn't working and was stuck at 0% and I got the same kind of errors as you
