hetayy 3 Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 (edited) I've only recently started using Manjaro Linux, and one show in my Emby setup plays pink. Opening the files in a media player works fine. Other shows and movies work fine. I've disabled and enabled hardware acceleration in Emby and the browser (Brave and Firefox in this case), testing each, to no avail. Changing the stream quality makes no difference as I've seen elsewhere in the forums for this issue. It appears my ffmpeg version is 5.0, but I'm not sure that is an issue here or not. There is not, from what I can find, an official way to update it to 5.1 yet. I've tried multiple browsers for funsies without any difference. I tried playing it on my phone and got the Playback Error "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')", other shows and movies play fine through my phone. Logs and screenshots included, hopefully someone can provide a solution or insight Edit: I take it back, it's now effecting multiple shows and movies when it was not previously, but only on my computer. Streaming to my phone all shows and movies (Except Overlord) still plays fine. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-26c6f77c-f5da-4ecc-bde8-9494d3c26f22_1.txt Edited March 29, 2024 by hetayy typo and new information.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Where is your server build from as it has outdated ffmpeg? Binhex? Is it an official Emby build?

Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Don't know these systems but other have had this issue and looks like this should help.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 But @alucrydmay need to comment as per that topics next post.
Solution Lessaj 467 Posted March 30, 2024 Solution Posted March 30, 2024 Yes emby-ffmpeg in the arch repo has been flagged out of date but hasn't been updated yet so manually updating it should resolve your issue. wget https://mediabrowser.github.io/embytools/emby-ffmpeg-bin-2023_06_25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst sudo pacman -U emby-ffmpeg-bin-2023_06_25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 1
hetayy 3 Posted March 30, 2024 Author Posted March 30, 2024 Here I was starting to manually convert media files to get Emby playing as is. @LessajThat did the trick. I was hesitant to try it from the previously linked post regarding the matter as there seemed to be remaining issues. But all is well now. Thank you and @Happy2Playboth for the support. 1 1
