    Cant get videos to play after fresh install

    Anytime I play a video I get "Playback failed due to a fatal player error."

    The service file references this variable:

    Code:
    $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT

    which is defined in /etc/default/jellyfin.  Change this line in /etc/default/jellyfin to your desired ffmpeg path.

    Code:
    JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT="--ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg"

    Code:
    mwade@tars:~$ cd /etc/default/
    mwade@tars:/etc/default$ ls
    grub  locale  scx  useradd
    mwade@tars:/etc/default$

    looks like I don't have that folder....is there somewhere else I can edit it?
