Playback problem new setup - estarna - 2024-07-02
Hi, today I reinstalled as new a new instance of Jellyfin Server on my QNAP. I was working fine (about 90%) on my old setup. I decided to reinstalled it as new since I changed/play/messed-up my old setup.
Setup is quite basic with libraries already on my QNAP.
I cannot play any files on Kodi (with the Jellyfin-Kodi addon), Jellyfin Media player on my Windows or any other client. So I guess it must be a setting on the server side. Maybe FFmpeg?
I'm on 10.9.7
User has full admin privilege.
I want to join my log file, but it seems to large.
Anyway, I put it there:

Thanks for any cue!

I'm assuming you installed the QNAP "app" for jellyfin? The version of ffmpeg provided by it is waaaaay old.
Code:
[2024-07-02 09:35:09.333 -04:00] [INF] [6] MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Encoder.MediaEncoder: Found ffmpeg version "4.1"
[2024-07-02 09:35:09.334 -04:00] [WRN] [6] MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Encoder.MediaEncoder: FFmpeg validation: The minimum recommended version is "4.4"
[2024-07-02 09:35:09.334 -04:00] [WRN] [6] MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Encoder.MediaEncoder: FFmpeg: Failed version check: "ffmpeg"Pretty much everything is failing because Jellyfin heavily relies on it.
You should use QNAP's docker capability to run the official docker image since we bundle ffmpeg 6 with it.
