I can't play anything while jellyfin works fine.

[Kakoluz]

I've found myself with this issue as well. After some digging i suspect that is something either with FFMPEG (my ffmpeg log ends with Option reconnect_at_eof not found.).

The thing that has me really confused is that i have setted up 2 channels (that are my own streamings for testing) one of them plays nicely and only remuxes and the other one, same settings just a different key, it won't play at all, jellyfin will try to transcode and fails.

Stream that fails (keys redacted)
log
Stream that works:
log

This is the /m3u8 file for both of them, the stream named kakoluz works, the one named dazn works
https://pastebin.com/73emEBwg

VLC works fine for both. but jellyfin provide different arguments to them, even if i just stop one stream in OBS change the key and it won't play on the other with the exact same options.

did you find a solution?

[PhynixP]

I have the same Problem (10.8.13).
I hope the 10.9.0 will fix this problem.
