Trouble playing some media files

[jellybro]

VLC isn't a good measure for whether a file is good or not.  VLC will power through corrupt/malformed files.

Jellyfin does not have its own playback engine.  We use open source players like MPV in Jellyfin Media Player.  But all/most of our other clients we are reliant on how tolerant the device's embedded player is to malformed/corrupt files.  Most tend to skew towards requiring files be formatted properly and standards compliant while having a low tolerance for corruption.

Thanks for teaching me how to remux. I am going to write a script and have it roll through all those files.

As far as I'm concerned this issue is resolved! thanks.
