Jellyfin FFmpeg path not working

This is the path : /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg
When logging in true ssh on my nas i can indeed find the files needed there.
But it looks like jellyfin has no access to that folder. So how can i give access to systemfiles in terramaster?
I'm not using docker btw. Jellyfin and FFmpeg is installed as third party app.

Solved it myself with the command : which ffmpeg .

That's shows you the correct directory.

"which ffmpeg" command return the ffmpeg version delivered with TOS5 located at /usr/bin/ffmpeg
What message do you get when you run

Code: Select all

/usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg -version

Sorry for the late anwer. Didn't see your message.

I get this:

[gohigher@Terramaster ~]# /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg -version
-bash: /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

So it means the ffmpeg app is not installed

I am in the same situation as gohigher.

Code: Select all

# which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

Code: Select all

# /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg -version
-bash: /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

# ls -l /usr/local/ffmpeg51/sys/bin/
total 412
-rwxr-xr-x 1 superuser superuser 267328 Sep 14 17:45 ffmpeg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 superuser superuser 147968 Sep 14 17:45 ffprobe
The FFMPEG51 community app is installed.

In the GUI if I put /usr/local/ffmpeg/sys/bin/ffmpeg it says ffmpeg can't be found. I can navigate there with the gui itself so it sees it!

If instead I put /usr/bin/ffmpeg the GUI accept it and videos are working; also the FFMPEG51 app see it and shows the driver selection.

Is it safe to leave the /usr/bin/ffmpeg path?
