FFMPEG - Jobuddy - 2025-09-12

Hello,
I have a problem that I can not start Jellyfin if there is a path set to FFMPEG.
I tried adding to system env variables:
JELLYFIN_FFMPEG = C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\ffmpeg.exe
JELLYFIN_FFPROBE = C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\ffprobe.exe

He also tries to launch them, but the log says: The System can not find this file. (Log is attached as .txt) 

I know that the easy fix would be to remove FFMPEG from the path, but that is sadly not a viable option for me.

Can anyone please help me?

Kind regards
JoBuddy
