Odroid XU4 NV21

[RicardoCst]

Possibly missing a pixel format for the odroid xu4? Adding -pix_fmt nv21 to the default jellyfin-ffmpeg line for some reasons works.

EDIT: Kernel version 5.4 on armbian

Please revert back to jellyfin 10.7.7, which is the last version with -pix_fmt nv21 support by default for v4l2m2m, which is not compatible or optimal for the Raspberry Pi 4.

Can confirm that downgrade works, though that'd be great if that was an option or a flag. In the meantime, on the latest version a simple workaround as creating a script that would substitute format=yuv420p for format=nv21, putting it next to real ffmpeg executable(so that ffprobe is in the same folder) and pointing jellyfin to it worked for me on odroid xu4. Here's a sample sctipt

#!/bin/bash

# Replace "yuv420p" with "nv21"
NEW_ARGS=${@//format=yuv420p/format=nv21}

# Get the full path of the directory containing this script
current_folder="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )"

# Build the full path to the "ffmpeg" executable
ffmpeg_exe="${current_folder}/ffmpeg"

# Run the command with the updated arguments
${ffmpeg_exe} ${NEW_ARGS}

Or maybe an advanced setting for setting the format? Like a checkbox or dropdown menu? I dont know if it is worth the time though. Maybe @nyanmisaka could help because I wouldnt know how to do that?
