Ffmpeg error 254 Fedora - Raskoll - 2025-04-29
Hi first time poster and fedora user, I did a clean install of fedora 42 with COSMIC DE, installed ffmpeg through the rpm on the website and that went well. Set up a library no problems, in pop os I previously had to mess with permissions. Playback failed tho due to a HLS issue, that changed after a restart to a generic fatal playback error. I uninstalled ffmpeg (which uninstalled jellyfin lol) so reinstalled jellyfin. I then downloaded the custom binary and replace /usr/bin/ffmpeg with it, no luck.
Logs are here. Idk if these are the right logs I just copied the std out. https://privatebin.net/?d5e6c9da9a0da6ce#8DhxjyZAS8hvJU8bwXxWCbnCobYBsWBQjzZVUjMkbtuS
This might help too:

RE: Ffmpeg error 254 Fedora - Raskoll - 2025-05-01
Fixed it.
Problem: Incompetence
Solution: Mount the hard drive the library's on.
It's a fresh install so I forgot to set the auto mounting rules lol.
