What Jellyfin version are you running? I just noticed that jellyfin-ffmpeg is still 5.1.4. Are you still on 10.8.13? If you are running 10.9, you should upgrade to jellyfin-ffmpeg6. I don't know for certain is that actually matters, but the server and ffmpeg versions should be 5.1.4 with server 10.8 and 6.0.1 for server 10.9.

What Jellyfin version are you running?  I just noticed that jellyfin-ffmpeg is still 5.1.4.  Are you still on 10.8.13?  If you are running 10.9, you should upgrade to jellyfin-ffmpeg6.  I don't know for certain is that actually matters, but the server and ffmpeg versions should be 5.1.4 with server 10.8  and 6.0.1 for server 10.9.

I was running Jellyfin 10.9.10.  I uninstalled jellyfin-ffmpeg 5.1.4 and installed 6.0.1.  Tried playing a video and transcoding failed, same error as before.  I then upgraded to Jellyfin 10.9.11 and transcoding also failed.

What does Promox call their kernel? The apt command should have listed out what kernel packages were installed, including all the header and mod packages.

What does Promox call their kernel?  The apt command should have listed out what kernel packages were installed, including all the header and mod packages.

It seems the kernel names start with "proxmox-kernel".  I'm not sure about the headers and mod packages.

Code:

: apt list --installed | grep proxmox-kernel

And what does proxmox call all of the extra packages it includes with the kernel (Ubuntu example below). It should be similarly named (headers, modules, modules-extra).

Code:

chris@rat-trap:~$ sudo apt list --installed | grep 6.8.0-44

I also see that it installed a newer kernel than what you started with in this thread (6.8.12). Did it install and then change which one you are running on boot?

Code:

uname -a

[seelk]

Code:

: apt list --installed | grep 6.8.4-3

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

proxmox-kernel-6.8.4-3-pve-signed/stable,now 6.8.4-3 amd64 [installed,auto-removable]

I'm not sure how to identify the corresponding headers and mod packages.

I pinned the 6.8.4-3-pve to boot instead of the latest kernel.  This is an option Proxmox provides.

Code:

: uname -a

Linux proxmox 6.8.4-3-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.8.4-3 (2024-05-02T11:55Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux
