SOLVED: TVHeadend: jellyfin-ffmpeg exits with 253

[IngwiePhoenix]

Hello there!

I successfuly installed Jellyfin on my Radxa Rock 5 ITX (RK3558 and I use a small FriendlyElec Nano node to serve as a TVHeadend server with a DVB-S stick plugged in; it only has Ethernet, USB and Power, so it's perfect.

However, when i try to open a TV stream in Jellyfin, it is reported that ffmpeg exited with code 253. So, I grabbed the exact command from the logs and ran it myself to see what the output looked like.

On my instance, I do have some hardware accelerations enabled, so I bet this has something to do with it. But, my ffmpeg-fu is quite terrible.

Here is the log:

Do you spot anything obvious here? In my configuration, I enabled these transcoding formats enabled: H264, HEVC, AV1, HEVC 10bit.

Thank you and kind regards,
