Cant get videos to play after fresh install

[wade730]

Changing the ffmpeg path in the UI was disabled in 10.8.12? .13?.  You have to modify encoding.xml.  /etc/jellyfin/encoding.xml with your ffmpeg path.

So I edited the encoding.xml to  add the following two lines:

Code:

  <EncoderAppPath>/usr/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>
  <EncoderAppPathDisplay>/usr/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPathDisplay>

now once I save and a systemctl restart jellyfin and cat the file the one line seems to be changed somehow resulting in the code below:

Code:

  <EncoderAppPath>/usr/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>
  <EncoderAppPathDisplay />

The Encoder "EncoderAppPathDisplay" seems to edit itself and take the declared codec filepath out? Anyone know why that is happening? I did check and no videos are currently playing on my server.
