Player Error Encountered Google TV

[larkhillv]

Any luck on fixing this? I'm having the same issues. Able to play my media just fine on my pixel 8 pro, and windows 11 machine but my Chromecast and iPad are both having player issues.

I even tried re encoding my videos to .MP4 instead of .mkv but it didn't help.

No, still having this issue.

I saw below suggestion from "theguymadmax" but not really sure what remuxing is or how I would run that line of code. Like do I just pop that into a command prompt on my Windows desktop replacing "input.mkv" and "output.mkv" with the actual file name? Or do I run that code through Jellyfin somehow through Unraid?

Sorry if that's a stupid question--I'm tech savvy enough to build a PC and server, but stuff like video codecs, containers, remuxing, etc I just don't get.

There's an issue with the MKV container. Remux one of the files and try it out on your system.

Code:

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i path/to/input.mkv -map 0 -c copy /path/to/output.mkv

The command for windows will be a little different. In the start menu type PowerShell and open up that app. Then run the command below as an example.

Code:

& "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\ffmpeg.exe" -i "path\original input file.mkv" -map 0 -c copy "path\ new output file.mkv"

Something like this. Chane your username, paths, and file names accordingly.

Code:

& "C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\ffmpeg.exe" -i "C:\data\shows\Fullmetal (2003)\ Alchemist Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) - S01E01 - (1) - Those Who Challenge the Sun (1080p Bluray x265 ImE).mkv" -map 0 -c copy "C:\Users\larkhillv\Desktop\ Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) - S01E01 - (1) - Those Who Challenge the Sun (1080p Bluray x265 ImE).mkv"
