Jellyfin media player doesn't play anything but works on the browser and Windows - icemanx7 - 2024-01-23
Hey guys, so I've recently had an issue where the JellyFin media player won't play anything on my Arch Linux install. When I click play on anything it just shows a transparent loader over the item I'm clicking with no error message.
I don't think it's the server because playback over Kodi, Browser UI and Windows jellyfin Media player works perfectly. So I'm not sure what's the issue with Linux install.
Here are the client logs:

When running from the terminal:

I tried install the media player from the AUR and Flatpak, same result. Any ideas how to fix this?
Jellyfin version: 10.8.13
OS: Latest Arch Linux
GPU: 7900xt with latest MESA drivers

On the Arch client, click on your icon in the top right and then click on Client Settings. IIRC there are some settings about halfway down about how it handles playback (I don't have JMP in front of me to give you the exact names). Try changing some of these options.

Same problem here. Nothing works. Where are the logs ?
It is not the first time I have encountered this issue, I've had it in the past, and had a lot of trouble with it. Somehow managed to fix it, but only God knows now, I've forgotten; now it's broken again and I'm clueless.
