Unable to play some video files after upgrade 2.1 to 2.3
Environment is Linux Mint 21 ffmpeg version 4.4.2. All SW installed from Mint Software Manager only.

Many months after upgrading from serviio 2.1 to 2.3 I became aware that 158 video files had “vanished” from the serviio library. However these files were all still present in their filesystem (NTFS) and every one I tried played perfectly with vlc media player. I noticed that often within a series that some files were still present while others had disappeared. Here is a typical example

Here we can see that under serviio 2.3, episodes 1,2,4,8,10 are no longer playable but episodes 3,5,6,7,9 still were.

At first I wondered if there might be some sort of mismatch with the ffmpeg version so I installed the Windows version of serviio 2.4 in a Windows 10 VM.
However servio 2.4 under Windows performed exactly as serviio 2.3 under Linux

As a further experiment I installed the latest version of Linux Mint – Mint 22 – in a VM. This had ffmpeg version 6.1.1. However the results were the same ie serviio v 2.1 saw all the files whereas v 2.3 had the same missing files as before.
This does suggest that the version of ffmpeg is not the problem here.
Here is some diagnostic data for two of the files – Episode 02 which failed to be recognised and Episode 03 which was successful :-

It would seem that ffmpeg is not reporting a mpeg video stream for episode 2 so could it be that serviio v2.3 is not as resilient to this as v2.1 ?
I also ran mediainfo for both the files – results below. It doesn’t seem to have any problem detecting both video and audio streams :-

In the short term I have “rolled back” to serviio v 2.1. However that is not a desirable position long term. I’d be more than grateful if an expert could take a look at this and hopefully solve my issue. Many thanks in advance.

It would seem that ffmpeg is not reporting a mpeg video stream for episode 2 so could it be that serviio v2.3 is not as resilient to this as v2.1 ?
I also ran mediainfo for both the files – results below. It doesn’t seem to have any problem detecting both video and audio streams :-

In the short term I have “rolled back” to serviio v 2.1. However that is not a desirable position long term. I’d be more than grateful if an expert could take a look at this and hopefully solve my issue. Many thanks in advance.
