Jellyfin not playable on host machine

[Sahil Gupta]

Hi everyone,
I am running my jellyfin server on my windows laptop with the specs -

AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
AMD Radeon RX 5500M
16GB ram (8 + 3200Mhz

I cannot play any media on my laptop via firefox when i turn on hardware transcoding (i have selected AMD AMF and it is using my igpu by default and not my dgpu) but when i disable hardware transcoding and let it do it on CPU, it plays fine on my host. Everything else plays fine even with hardware accelaration turned on on any client device (TV, Android device).

Thank you for reading and any possible solution (except turning off hardware accelaration) would be appreciated.

Does it work in a chromium browser?

Does it work in a chromium browser?

Just tried in chrome and chrome is using direct playback for the same media by default so it works but if i force it use transcoding (by lowering the bitrate), it still says fatal error.
