FFMPEG path Jellyfin 10.8.13

[Serge K]

Hi all
I'm using a QNAP NAS Q25D Intel (Linux) and creating the qpkg file myself. I made some Jellyfin qpkg files (10.8.8 to 10.8.12). Everything is working fine. But today I did Jellyfin 10.8.13 qpkg and I encountered the following problem: I can select the ffmpeg path, save it, but after that the path disappears. Please help to find the reason.

okay, i guess that's good?

not sure how that helps since to the best of my knowledge qnap does not run centos and the original poster (OP) is talking about his QNAP NAS, but all the same thanks for sharing

as I understood you can not play because ffmpeg path is not defined. It is very simple to solve it - you need to find file encoding.xml

I've read through emcoding.xml, there is no mention of ffmpeg, nor have I found documentation mentioning of what to change/add in it. Thank you for trying.

Your confused, that was a different thread. I'm the OP for this thread and I fully stated system and RPMs installed. But thanks for trying to help.

In the file

Code:

/etc/jellyfin/encoding.xml

(I believe the default (EDIT: for cent, I'm not positive where it would be in the case of the qnap package, but when you find it the options below should be what you want to change. When you first open your dashboard on the web app on the right there's a series of paths, it should be somewhere near where those default to), you've already said you found it so I am just posting as it took me a while to find it last time I went hunting) w/in the

Code:

<EncodingOptions .... >

block you'll want to include:

Code:

  <EncoderAppPath>/path/to/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>                
  <EncoderAppPathDisplay>/path/to/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPathDisplay>

You will need to restart your service in order for it to take.  This should still work in the current version, I'm not sure it will persist continuing forward (which I hope it does, but I recognize the whole "spacebar heating" issue).
