Video reproduction don't work after ffmpeg update

[narayanls]

Hello! I noticed that ffmpeg new version somehow "broke" video reproduction for Jellyfin Media Player in my Linux distro. Here's more info:

Linux Distro: BigLinux (based in Manjaro) Ffmpeg version: 2:7.0.1-2 Jellyfin Media Player version: 1.11.1-2 Jellyfin ffmpeg version: 1:6.0.1p7-5

The error: When I hit the play button in a video in the library of my jellyfin media player, these pop up shows up:

Then when I click Cancel:

I also tested in other computer that doesn't made the upgrade of ffmpeg, so it's using ffmpeg version 2:6.1.1-7, in this computer jellyfin media player works.

I also have the same problem, it seems like an incompatibility between jellyfin media player and ffmpeg 7, I'm going to do more tests to try to determine if that's the problem. After I updated the system it stopped working.

can confirm that Manjaro's recent(ish) update of ffmpeg seems to break jellyfin-media-player, I get the same error as OP, here's my ffmpeg info, let me know if there's other useful info I could provide
