    I am trying to watch things on my server, and some things are able to play while others are not and receive the playback error "Playback failed due to a fatal player error." I was trying to add some other programs to my computer, which required me to install a different version of ffmpeg on my computer and change the path in my environment variables. I have since removed both the new ffmpeg and changed the environment variables to no longer contain that path. However, I am still unable to play certain videos. I am using jellyfin 10.10.7. In the folder is has both ffmpeg and ffprobe. I am just wanting help to fix this as everything was playing just fine up until I tried to install the new version of ffmpeg. I've tried looking through other threads on this issue and tried some solutions and couldn't get any of them to really fix my issue.

    If I need to paste any logs, install something or anything like that. If I could be given instructions on how to do so to ensure that I do not mess anything up further and to ensure I get it to you guys quicker then I would greatly appreciate it.
