Something will not play

What Mediagg tells you when a track, an episode or a station refuses to start.

When something fails to start, Mediagg says which of several different things went wrong rather than showing one generic failure. The wording is the fastest way to know what to do, so it is worth reading before trying again.

Could not be reached

Nothing answered. If a server is named — Jellyfin did not answer. It may be off, or not on this network. — the usual causes are that the machine is asleep, or you are away from home and the address is a local one.

Otherwise: Nothing answered. Check your connection and try again.

This is no longer there

The file this points at has gone from where the feed says it is. The show has moved or replaced the file. Refreshing that subscription often finds it at its new address — see Checking for new episodes.

The host would not send this

The server holding the episode refused. That is usually temporary, or the episode has been withdrawn — try later, or another episode of the same show — if the rest play, the episode is the problem rather than the subscription.

<server> would not let this play

Jellyfin would not let this play, and so on for whichever server it was. Your sign-in has lapsed: Signing in to Jellyfin has stopped working — the password may have changed, or the session may have been ended on the server. Sign in to it again under Media servers and it will play. See A server will not sign in.

This will not play on this device

The file arrived but nothing here can play it. The download worked; the decoding did not. Either it is not audio at all, or it is in a format this phone has no decoder for. Nothing in Mediagg's settings changes this — a different file or a different device will.

Could not be played

The catch-all. Something went wrong starting this. Trying again often works. — and it usually does.

A station that plays and then stops

Live streams end when the station's own connection does, not when you do. Starting it again is the only fix, and it is not a fault in the app.
