Cannot Install Emby Server on Pi Zero W

I've been trying for nearly 5 hours trying to get Emby Server installed on my Pi Zero W (Raspbian) with no luck.

 

I'm no Linux expert so apologies if the terminology gets mixed up here (or if I ask stupid questions!), but I have tried the following methods to no avail:

 

Direct Download and Install From https://emby.media/linux-server.html: This gives the following error when I try to start the service:

 

root@raspberrypi:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# systemctl start emby-server

root@raspberrypi:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# systemctl status emby-server

emby-server.service - Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device.

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

   Active: failed (Result: signal) since Sat 2019-06-08 12:02:01 BST; 30s ago

  Process: 25671 ExecStart=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server (code=killed, signal=SEGV)

 Main PID: 25671 (code=killed, signal=SEGV)

      CPU: 9ms

Install using apt-get via guide here https://akosresch.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/installing-emby-server-on-raspberry-pi-3/ : This involves installing mono first. It gives an error which means nothing to me:

 

root@raspberrypi:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# sudo service emby-server start

root@raspberrypi:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# sudo service emby-server status

Can anybody help? I definitely don't think it should be this difficult. All I want to do is have an Emby Server set up on my Pi so that I can connect to it via the Samsung TV Emby app. Emby is essential as it is the only media manager I have found that reliably downloads and manages subtitles properly and I am hard of hearing.

Hi, the CPU for this is armv6, right?

Yes Pi zero w has armv6 CPU. I think it is no more supporting by Emby.

Maybe developers make a "Light" version of Emby for older CPU's that support basic features. No re-encode needed. Just downloads media info subtitle etc. Direct stream to tv. I got Samsung 48H6470 3D tv I cannot use with emby server. I got Rpi zero W I want to use it with emby but CPU is not supporting. Also Plex is not working too. I got ony option for watch my videos. My asus modem has simple NAS and DLNA support. Currently using DLNA for watch movies on my tv.

 

Lite version will be good for simple media streaming. Like advanced version of DLNA servers.

 

I hope they hear me :(
