TV Shows will only play as "Movies" - VirusMD - 2024-03-24

So I've got an odd one... I'm converting to Jellyfin from Plex, i run the servers on a dedicated machine in my home. So i set up the libraries with no issue or so i thought. However for some reason none of my TV shows will stream over the network when i use the content type "Shows" i get a the "This client is not compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format" None of my shows will play using the "Shows" content type, however if i switch the content type to Movies, everything works/streams fine.... Any idea's what is going on here? I cant seem to find anyone else having the same issue or im just not looking for it correctly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Can you share your Jellyfin and ffmpeg logs with us? What OS and what are the hardware specs?
