Playback Error on web interface - cptguntner - 2024-03-13

I have Jellyfin 10.8.11 running on an Centos 7 server, and when I try playing any videos from the server through the web interface I get the error "Playback Error: This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format "  Not sure where to start, though I did notice one error in the logs of:

 [2024-03-13 11:56:01.515 -04:00] [INF] [1] MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Encoder.MediaEncoder: Found ffmpeg version "3.4.13"

I believe that 3.4.13 is the builtin ffmpeg version within Centos 7, would I need to force an upgrade with a newer package?  I'd prefer to keep everything fairly on par with standard Centos, since I'd like to upgrade to AlmaLinux or RockyLinux in the near future.  The hardware I have it running on is a Dell R510 with 128GB Ram, 64GB used as a RAMdisk temp file, no video card for hardware transcoding.

RE: Playback Error on web interface - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-13

You will need to updated your ffmpeg, as the log states. We have some instructions in our docs for getting a newer ffmpeg.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux#centos

RE: Playback Error on web interface - cptguntner - 2024-03-14

I guess I'll just have to wait until I update to AlmaLinux or RockyLinux 8, since the Centos 7 repository on RPM Fusion only has Version 3.4.13 of the ffmpeg packages..
