Jellyfin can't play certain AVI files from the webOS app (webOS 4)

Open NorbiPeti opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I have installed the app through Developer Mode and noticed that a lot of my library can't be played. FFmpeg reports an audio issue but I can play the videos on my PC. I've tried the following things with Jellyfin:

  1. Play on web from my PC: This works mostly fine
  2. Play on TV through DLNA: The video itself played fine but any actions I performed from the TV (skipping ahead etc.) were at least 10-15 seconds late with the TV reporting that the function is not available
  3. Play on TV using the app: The video starts loading, it displays the cover image, the loading icon eventually disappears and then the app cannot be interacted with any further

I have MKV files that work fine in the app including for the videos I'm trying to play, so I could get around the issue but I wanted to report it. I noticed that it was using direct play when it failed. Here's the (relevant part of the) FFprobe output (and Jellyfin info below):

Here is a check for Tizen. webOS probably needs the same.
