SOLVED: EyeTV recordings don't play

[Cryx]

Hello,

first post here so I hope I'm doing it right...

I set up Jellyfin on my Ubuntu (24.10) server, but had problems with some specific files. I could solve some things with repainring the rights, but I'm stuck with some video files.

These files are TV recordings that I made on my Mac with the EyeTV software. They have/are

• movie.mpg  (suffix)
  
• MPEG2 Transport Sttream   (Container)
  
• Video Codec is H.264   (High Profile)
  
• Audio Codec is MPEG-1 Layer 2
  

Jellyfin refuses to play or stream these files, saying "Wiedergabefehler - Die Wiedergabe ist fehlgeschlagen, weil die Medien von diesem Client nicht unterstützt wird" (Playback error - Playback failed because the media is not supported by this client)

This happens on the Jellyfin Web Player and also with the apps on our different mobile systems and also my TV.

If I open the files directly from the folder with with VLC, the file plays as expected. If I use Plex as server the file is also played in the web player as well as in in the plex apps on our devices.

So I don't know how to solve this, especielly cause the problem only happens with Jellyfin itself, so it's not related to the file itself nor the server or the clients...

Transcoding is disabled cause all my other files play as they should so no transcoding needed...
