I'm running Windows 10, have used the Windows installer (and just updated to v10.10.3 to see if it would help). I run the Jellyfin Server Tray App on my laptop which is connected to the external hard drive that I have my media files on, and watch on my TV via Roku.
I've had Jellyfin for several months now and only had this problem once before. I fixed it then by closing and reopening Jellyfin and unplugging and plugging back in the external drive. Tonight I've been trying to watch things like I have hundreds of times in the last several months, and once I click on the episode I want to play I get a playback error. My googling has led me to believe it has something to do the the external hard drive and file permissions, but I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to fix that, and I don't know why it would have just randomly started not working tonight. The vids still play when I run them from the drive on VLC, but not on the Roku or web version of Jellyfin.
Any help would be appreciated.
