Playback Error Playback failed due to a fatal player error.

[Eloque]

I recently upgraded to 10.10.3 and since then transcoding is no longer working. On a quite substantial test of my different media files, all fail playback. In the browser player as well on the integrated Kodi player.

The error is: Playback Error Playback failed due to a fatal player error.

I've checked the log and it shows variations of this:

I am running a Ubuntu based install, no hardware transcoding active that used to work perfectly before the upgrade. It looks like the ffmpeg is either not working or missing something, a filter? I think all the transcoding settings are correct, HVEC and no hardware encoding and all the other settings are in order.

It looks like the filter line might not be correct?

Can you share the ffmpeg log?
