    Hello,

    I have a jellyfin setup on my own home-server and I think that I messed up some transcoding settings.
    My mini server has the following specs:
    i5 6400
    8GB RAM
    no GPU
    I'm using docker on a separate user if that's relevant at all.

    I have this issue on some of the movies in my library: "Playback failed due to a fatal player error"
    Log: https://pastebin.com/XSWpQPvk

    I think I messed up the settings when playing with the transcoding options. I had some issues where my CPU was at 100% used by ffmpeg while playing a movie so I thought I need to change some settings. Looked up what is available for i5 6400 and ended up checking:
    Intel QuickSync (QSV) 
    HEVC, MPEG2, VC1, VP8
    Prefer OS native DXVA or VA-API hardware decoders
    Enable hardware encoding
    Enable Intel Low-Power H.264 hardware encoder
    Enable Intel Low-Power HEVC hardware encoder
    Allow encoding in HEVC format
    * All the other options are disabled (default)

    Can someone help me or guide me where to find additional information about the encoding settings? I'm new to this and I have no ideea whats good and whats not right for my CPU.

    Thank you!
