I have set up Jellyfin to use media on my Synology NAS devices. I am currently running parallel with Plex for all libraries which include movies, shows, home videos, photos, music and live TV. The foundation of the movie and show library is quite old, dating back to Windows XP Media Center. The formats are .dvr-ms and .wtv.
The subject movies and shows all display "Playback Error" when play is attempted. I have reviewed the FFMPEG logs and found the terminal error statement. But if the extension is unsupported then I assume conversion is the only option. There are thousands of files affected. Even with automation it would take a very long time.
The Jellyfin server runs Win 11 Pro 23H2 with Intel 13700H processor, 32GB memory, 2TB SSD and RTX4070 GPU. Clients are Chrome, Roku, Android and IOS.
As an aside, I am very pleased at the metadata lookup for movies and shows. The error rates are low and very similar to Plex. But I have stopped the scrubbing of Jellyfin metadata pending resolution of this issue.
I will submit additional support requests if more detailed information is useful to you.
