    So I used the simple line tool to install jellyfin on my ubuntu computer.
    In that I believe is jellyfin-ffmpeg.
    Im wanting to automate the conversion of some media from hevc to H.264 in my media folder using ffmpeg and was wondering,

    Do i need to have ffmpeg install separately to convert videos, or can i path to jellyfin-ffmpeg and use that one?
    If i can use the jellyfin-ffmpeg where is it lol?

    On Debian/Ubuntu, you can find it at /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
