FFmpeg 218 error. Not being able to watch media I could watch before - fodoborleise - 2025-11-03

Hi, all.

I'm facing an issue while trying to reproduce my media. Funny that I was able to reproduce some of the files before, and now I'm just getting errors in a lot of media.

This is what I see in my logs:

Code:
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

It seems that the iGPU is found. 

But then...

Code:
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (native) -> av1 (av1_qsv))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (eac3 (native) -> aac (libfdk_aac))

I have recently updated to 10.11.1 and 10.11.2. I can't be precise if this problem started exactly after the update, since I usually don't watch those movies in Jellyfin, but I never had this problem before in any of the many movies and series I played.
