    Hello, first post and really a newbie at Jellyfin and media servers. 
    Some background: I setup a Terramaster NAS F2-423 running TOS 5.1 I ripped all my 4K, BR, and DVDs using MakeMKV and moved them over to the NAS. I then installed Jellyfin, FFMpeg and FFMpeg 51. Jellyfin saw the directory, scraped metadata for the films and everything ran smoothly. I have been running it in the house with zero issues for about 6 months.
    Recently I found an older sleeve with some DVD's I missed the first time and decided to add them. I setup MakeMKV, ripped them and a new BR and a new 4k and them moved them into the same directory as the other films on the NAS. Jellyfin saw them like before and scraped the data for each film like before. The problem is they will not play, on each one I get a fatal playback error. I did some troubleshooting and re-ripped a few to see if that was the issue but no change. (I also checked if the newly ripped ones play on my PC from the PC folder and they play fine with VLC or mediaplayer so I am pretty sure it is not the rip.) I checked to see if FFMpeg and FFMpeg51 were the latest versions and they are the same as when I initially loaded them.

    I am stumped on this problem. Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas for a fix?
    Side note: All the original films still play just fine through Jellyfin

    Thanks in advance!
    Dave
