"Player error encountered. Will retry" - Adam Haeffele - 2025-11-13
Hello!
I am running JellyFin 10.10.7. I tried upgrading to the new version, but I was having issues with it eating up 100% of my CPU immediately.
My question is, when i go to play a channel on live TV, I initially get "Player error encounterd. Will retry", Then the channel will pop on. I do not see this on the PC, but all of my firesticks, rokus, etc do this.
Not a really a huge problem, but wondering if there is a fix. I have cleared the cache and reinstalled on my sticks.
Logs don't show any issue on server end.
Update! It appears to only happen when I play the channel from the actual guide. If I'm watching something and I hit down, then choose a channel from there, I do not get the error.
Solved! Firesticks have transcoding turned off by default. Turned it back on, good to go!
Thanks!
