ffmpeg error when using Live TV - msingerman - 2025-11-06

Hello all,

Jellyfin version: 10.11.2
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3

I recently got a HD HomeRun tuner. I installed the device no problem and it works just fine in the HD HomeRun app. Jellyfin was able to detect it and add it no problem, and I have the correct channel guide in place. Whenever I try to play something, though, I get the error "Playback failed due to a fatal player error." Attached are the relevant logs. Thanks for any help.

I was able to resolve this with the help of Claude. It was an issue with my drivers. Some kernel updates fixed it.
