media only plays on browser - Floydyboi2 - 2024-01-16
Jellyfin:
Version: 10.8.13
Operating System: Linux
Architecture: X64
Issue: I was able to log in to Jellyfin and see the media I want to play on every device I own: Roku, Amazon Firestick, and browsers. However, I can only play media I'd like to play when using browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on my phone or pc. When I try to play such media, I get a loading screen, and then it exits the media and showcases the home screen of the Jellyfin app.

RE: media only plays on browser - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-16
What are your server hardware specs? What Linux distro?
RE: media only plays on browser - Floydyboi2 - 2024-01-16
so sorry for not listing that
Linux Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 (cinnamon) version 6.0.4 with 5.15.0-91 generic kernel
Running it off an hp 4440s probook
specs:
ram: 16gb ddr3
cpu: intel i5 3320m 2.6ghz
storage: 480gb hdd (onboard hdd)
gpu: 3rd gen core processor graphics controller
RE: media only plays on browser - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-16
In Dashboard > Playback, uncheck "Allow encoding in HEVC format". Your CPU doesn't support encoding to that and your clients are requesting it.
RE: media only plays on browser - Floydyboi2 - 2024-01-16
Got it, let me try that out
RE: media only plays on browser - Floydyboi2 - 2024-01-16
The same issue is still occurring on the roku and firetv stick. However, it still works on the browsers like before.
Let me just double check
RE: media only plays on browser - TheDreadPirate - 2024-01-16
share a fresh ffmpeg log via https://sourceb.in/
RE: media only plays on browser - Floydyboi2 - 2024-01-16
It works!!! Thank you so much!
