Sorry, I'm not sure where to start.
I'm running Jellyfin in a docker container on my Synology NAS.
I'm no genius, so setting this up to run was a bit of a personal nightmare. But thanks to excellent guides online, I managed to set it up and get it running nicely.
After a recent upgrade (I'll list my versions below) I noticed that my Rick and Morty episodes were not playing. I have watched all of the episodes many, many times. I now get a weird error in a message box on my Samsung Galaxy S4 pad: "Playback Error: MessagePlaybackErrorundefined"
My setup:
Jellyfin 10.9.5 on Synology DS411+II (DSM6.2.4-2556 update 7) via docker (20.10.3-0554) container.
FFMpeg4 (4.4.4-49)
Chromecast Ultra (firmware 1.56.281627) via wifi
Running from Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 tablet, Android 10
Jellyfin Android app 2.6.1 with data on an external SSD for speed.
I have narrowed down the problem: the video encoding profile and hence, the video resolution.
To simplify, this WILL play:
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Constrained Baseline@L3.1
Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Bit rate : 1 889 kb/s
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 720 pixels
And this WILL NOT play:
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Constrained Baseline@L4.1
Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Bit rate : 1 500 kb/s
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
The same video, encoded with a different profile (maximum of HIGH@3.1) will play. Anything at level 4 or higher won't cast/play. This means that I can't play anything at a higher resolution than 720P. Videos I have always watched are no longer viewable, and the Jellyfin logs are as clear as mud.
I have transcoding turned off as my Synology hardware isn't up to the task.
This only started happening after the recent Jelly upgrade.
I have been searching everywhere for help or to find others with my problem, but I cannot find help anywhere.
Any ideas? As far as I can tell, the Jellyfin log doesn't list this error, or if it doesn't, I can't find it.
