Videos work on Media Player, not on Broswer - canosgmk - 2024-07-27

Greetings. 

I have googled for a while now and can't seem to find my situation. 

half of my movies are not playing on the web browsers (google or duckduckgo), but will work from the app/media player.

Current setup:
JellyFin on my home server-
TrueNas Scale Dragonfish 24.04.1 Dragonfish-24.04.1
i7 6700K
64GB Ram
1GB network to a unmanaged switch

Main PC plugged in to the same switch going directly through the IP address for JellyFin.  

due to working on the app/media player and not web, there is a setting somewhere that I need to change (guess). 

I even tried to go on my cellphone (not on my home network) and the same thing happens. works on the app and not the web.

Can you share your full logs via pastebin? Also, how are you running Jellyfin? As a docker container or as a TrueNAS "app"?

The pastebin is such: Jellyfin Log 20240728

This is a TrueNas app.

in the log, I posted when i opened jellyfin on the browser first.  Tried to play the movie (didn't work).  then I opened the jellyfin media app on the same PC and played the movie (worked)

Just a reminder, from the 20 movies i have in jellyfin, only three does this. the rest of them is fine.

Sounds like your decode settings are incorrect. The Jellyfin Media Player most likely works because it's capable of direct playing more codecs and therefore doesn't need to transcode.

You have a Skylake CPU, so do the following for HWA:

Enable these:
1. MPEG2
2. H264
3. VC1
4. VP8
5. HEVC
6. VP9 (Linux Only)

Disable these:
1. HEVC 10-bit
2. VP9 10-bit
3. AV1
