SOLVED: Error in "Probe Provider"

[akshay khairmode]

Hey Folks,

I have been facing issues since I upgraded the Jellyfin version.

I am using Windows 10 and have installed Jellyfin via the Windows installer.

Jellyfin Version - 10.9.6

I am getting a playback error - Playback failed due to a fatal player error.

When checking logs it says,

Code:

[2024-06-14 13:55:43.102 +05:30] [ERR] [23] MediaBrowser.Providers.TV.EpisodeMetadataService: Error in "Probe Provider"
System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided.

[2024-06-14 13:55:43.784 +05:30] [ERR] [21] Jellyfin.Api.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request. URL "GET" "/videos/e500f5af-ec99-26a3-7878-03127ee0b94d/live.m3u8".
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter '_mediaEncoder.EncoderPath')

Based on Google searching the issue, it looked like it could not get the FFmpeg path, so I checked the settings in playback but the path there is empty and not editable.

I tried editing the encoding.xml in the ProgramData folder but the file was getting reset every time I restarted the Jellyfin server. Not sure what more to do.

I have uninstalled the previous Jellyfin version and did a fresh install also, still facing same issue.

Any help here is appreciated. I am also attaching the log file.
