FFmpeg exited with code 183 when starting movie - Michael Tot Korsgaard - 2024-11-23

Hi I just installed my Jellyfin media server on my Hetzner hosted ubuntu server and uploaded my first movie to it. When trying to start the movie I get an error. Looking into the log, this is what I see:

Code:

After searching online for the error code it seems to be an issue with folder permissions. My folder permissions look like this:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x  4 jellyfin root  4096 Nov 22 21:11 jellyfin_lib/

What else could be the cause of the error?

Can you share the ffmpeg via pastebin? It is in the same directory as the jellyfin log.

I hope that this is the one you are looking for.

RE: FFmpeg exited with code 183 when starting movie - TheDreadPirate - 2024-11-23

Looks like the file is corrupt or truncated.

RE: FFmpeg exited with code 183 when starting movie - hernessteve - 2025-02-11

One possible solution is to check if the video file is corrupted. You can try running the file through a repair process to ensure it's intact. If there is an issue with the moov atom, it may need to be fixed to ensure the file works properly. For more information on how to address this, you can refer to this guide: https://www.handyrecovery.com/moov-atom-not-found/. Additionally, double-check the video codecs and ensure that Jellyfin and FFmpeg have the necessary permissions to access the files and perform transcoding.
