No compatible streams

[jtgdemby 0]

Fresh install of Emby on Arch Linux
extra/emby-server 4.9.3.0-1

Library set up without complaints.

I can view the library with posters and do everything except play.
Anything I play gets the error: "Playback Error
    No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details."

I do see errors in the log regarding ffmpeg.
I have no need or desire to have anything transcoded by Emby, however the ffmpeg executable is present with execute permissions.
I have it disabled in the settings (I think) so I would just like to know what setting I need to change so I don't have this error.

I see the startup script does reference ffmpeg:

  exec dotnet /usr/lib/emby-server/EmbyServer.dll \
    -programdata $PROGRAM_DATA \
    -ffdetect $FFDETECT \
    -ffmpeg $FFMPEG \
    -ffprobe $FFPROBE \
    -restartexitcode 3

If I modify that and remove the 3 -ff* lines, Emby does not work.

All my movies have already been transcoded with ffmpeg as HEVC in an mkv container which is stated as supported, with Opus audio.
Everything plays fine in mpv.
Everything plays fine in a browser.
Everything plays fine in VLC in my ONN(Chromecast),
although I am not yet trying to use the ONN and just trying to play through the web interface for now.

Hmmm... strange. I thought viewing through the web page would be easier and thought I should do that before I attempted to view on the TV but surprise!
It works on my ONN/TV. I can view there but not on my computer.

Of course I will be watching on the TV but I'd still be curious what went wrong and it would be nice to fix this.
