    set up jellyfin thru docker a few days back, and it seemed to function pretty well. whenever i tested something it would play. yesterday i turned on hardware acceleration and some videos stopped playing, but once i followed the guide for hardware acceleration it worked again. today i watched about 10 minutes of video, then my tailscale connection stopped working, and when i managed to bring it back, jellyfin refused to play anything. i can still connect and view my library, but the moment i try to play anything, it loads for a moment and then says "Playback failed due to a fatal player error."
    looking at my portainer logs, after trying to play a speed racer episode, it says:
