I am having issues with Jellyfin not finding ffmpeg on FreeBSD. Is there any solution to this?

Is it related to this issue posted to the bsd forks github?

I cant help you directly as I run Jellyfin on linux, but that should be your first port of call. just keep in mind jellyfin on FreeBSD is 100% unofficial so you are on your own.

This appears to be correct. See:

EncoderAppPath was simply not present at all in encoding.xml! There was only the display value: My own installation was completely fixed by adding /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
