"Playback failed due to a fatal player error." When Watching Media Ripped From DVDs. - Wobbyl - 2025-07-26
Hi, I've been having an issue where I get the error "Playback failed due to a fatal player error" when I try to watch anything I've ripped from a DVD. I'm new to Jellyfin, switching from Plex and I never had that issue there. How do I fix this? All help is appreciated.
Info:
- Debian 12
- Barmetal Install
- Intel i3-3120M
Here's the last few lines of my log file -> https://pastebin.com/A67SXZwj
Seems to be an FFMEPG issue.

There should be an FFmpeg log as well, please also post that.
