Jellyfin 10.8.13
CentOS 7
Installed rmpfusion first then JellyfinServer, JellyfinWeb, Jellyfin . No error at any time. ( followed https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux/ ) Verified ffmpeg at /usr/bin/ffmpeg.
Problem I cannot play any videos. Log file indicates can’t it find ffmpeg. How do I set the path in Jellyfin to the installed ffmpeg in version 10.8.13?
I found the following note at jellyfin.org/posts/jellyfin-security-and-you. Which might as we’ll be greek as the XML file contains no mention of ffmpeg. So how do I make Jellyfin work?
~As part of this release, we have made a change to the behaviour of the "FFmpeg path" GUI configuration option in Jellyfin. Specifically, in version 10.8.13, this functionality has been disabled, and will be fully replaced in the next major version (10.9.0). Editing this value in the GUI in 10.8.13 or later will not change it. In the short term, those wishing to make further changes to their FFmpeg binary must do so by editing the encoding.xml configuration file instead of using the GUI, and the server must be restarted after making the change.~
FWIW, The website is in grave need of attention. All forum post links return "The specified thread does not exist." Every link to a forum post is malformed and must be manually edited to work. IE https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-transcoding...fmpeg+path”
