    jellyfin-ffmpeg is not the same as vanilla ffmpeg. Jellyfin bundles a custom ffmpeg version with it.

    In Linux you can see where the jellyfin-ffmpeg executable is located in Settings > Dashboard > Playback (about halfway down). I'm assuming it is the same in Windows.

    If you need a feature in a newer ffmpeg version, the jellyfin-ffmpeg devs have released the newer version that will be bundled with 10.9.

    https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ffm...tag/v6.0-6

    There is a windows zip you can extract and replace the file in the path you found in the dashboard.

    But any new feature in ffmpeg6 will probably go unutilized since Jellyfin probably won't use it in 10.8.10.
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
