Playback failed due to a fatal player error? - AlekkusuFuyu - 2024-08-17

I am now getting errors with trying to play any of my media on any device. I immediately get "Playback failed due to a fatal player error." Here's what it says in the logs.

[2024-08-17 19:59:54.480 +00:00] [ERR] FFmpeg exited with code 1
[2024-08-17 19:59:54.579 +00:00] [ERR] Error processing request. URL "GET" "/videos/e91734ba-824b-f73b-3947-cfff087f1674/hls1/main/-1.mp4".

I couldn't find any other posts talking about this error specifically. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Can you share the ffmpeg log associated with this? It will contain more information. Usually because hardware acceleration isn't setup properly or file permissions.
