UPDATE:
I found a thread with a dude who said pointed me in a somewhat right direction. At first I thought it was a ffmpeg.exe issue, so I downloaded the latest one and pointed Jellyfin to the new executable but that did not fix anything. But through this random thread, I could see it seems that you also need to place ffprobe.exe in the same folder as ffmpeg.exe or it will throw errors. I did that and now some videos start playing that couldn't before, while some still are hanging, but it seems like more and more of my media is being able to direct play now! Let's see what happens.
UPDATE 2:
Yup, it seems like I was having some ffmpeg issues, and what I thought would fix it (adding a path to ffmpeg.exe in JF) was not enough - After also adding ffprobe.exe in the same folder as ffmpeg.exe, everything seems to work correctly again.
Which brings me back to my initial confusion, what happened to the original ffmpeg and why did it stop working?
