plex_download_urls VS MediaInfoLib

These are the DSM 7 Intel/AMD 64-bit builds, but you can find the others on this repo as well.

To download previous versions for your platform, I found the links on this page: https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls/tree/master

Normally it's as easy as going to this repository of links and clicking on the one you want, but it hasn't been updated to include 1.32.1 and newer. In this case, I did some version substitution to create the link:

For prior releases, see https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls/tree/master.

or using "old plex links" github: https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls

There are lists of official download links in this repository: https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls. macOS specifically is here: https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls/blob/master/archives/darwin-x86_64.macos.md

I have the exact same issue and thought I was imagining things. I ended up rolling back my server to a previously known good version. You can find the versions for your platform here.

Then I downloaded an older 32-bit build from here (PlexMediaServer-1.30.1.6562-915986d62-x86.exe): https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls

or here for older versions https://github.com/axlecrusher/plex_download_urls/blob/master/archives/linux-x86_64.debian.md

can you use https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfo and post the text output. maybe there is something malformed in the source that the render engine is unhappy with. as soon as i see sync issues that dont make any sense, i always blame the source media and look to reencode it or somehow repackage it (like with handbrake) into a known and not wierdo format. remember mp4 is just a box. there might be a cat in that box, there might not be a cat at all.

Footage specs - MediaInfo - please include the "Text" view of the file.

Is the problem with absolutely every AVC (h264) video you've tried, or only some? If it works with some and not others, can you share a MediaInfo report on a sample "faulty" file?

Need a little more info. What's the audio codec? Try converting the audio to AAC. Use mediainfo to see what codecs the file have.

Can you give the MediaInfo report from one of the files that Jellyfin is having a "hard time" with?

Some can be encoded with 8bit others with 10bit, the device maybe doesn't play well with 10bit encoded videos. You can use mediainfo to see if was encoded with 8bit or 10bit.

What are the specifications of the file? Run MediaInfo on it and post the results here.

Use MediaInfo on it and post the results.
