Surprised about ISO support - tom11011 - 2024-01-04
Hi all,
I am new to jellyfin. I was giving plex a trial as well but had trouble with the client on firestick. I thought I would also trial jellyfin and so far everything is working good.
To my pleasant surprise, it seems jellyfin can play an ISO without having to convert it to a different format. I didn't realize this until jellyfin server picked up the ISO file as well as the mp4 file I had created from the iso with ffmpeg. Plex says ISO files are not supported.
After examining both files, they have the following resolutions
mp4
------
Title480p H264 SDR
CodecH264
Codec tagavc1
AVCYes
ProfileHigh
Level30
Resolution720x480
iso
----
Title480p MPEG2VIDEO SDR
CodecMPEG2VIDEO
ProfileMain
Level8
Resolution720x480
Is there a way for me to use ffmpeg to get 1080p? This is the current command I use to create an mp4 from an iso, I'm new at this so any help appreciated.
ffmpeg -i VIDEO.ISO -c:v libx264 -c:a aac video.mp4
Thank you

jellyfin server does not scale up
if you mean outside of jellyfin server (manually) then that's not really a jellyfin related topic and google will be a better place to ask; https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Scaling
