Playback timeline issue - smarko1983 - 2024-03-15

Hello. My version of Jellyfin is 10.8.13 and I am using Windows. I am casting a TV show on my TV. Whenever I try to skip the time on the timeline, it always jumps to the begining of the timeline. Furthermore, the elapsed time goes to 10 seconds and returns back to the begining (0:00). That does not affect the movie, it flows normally, it does not jump back and forth. What could be the problem?

What is the container type? MKV? If so, we can try repackaging the video. Sometimes a poorly authored MKV file can behave the way you described.

Code:
ffmpeg -fflags genpts -i "C:\path\to\video.mkv" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 0:s -map_chapters 0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s copy outputFile.mkv

You may have to provide the full ffmpeg path.
