Erik 120 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi, For some reason today, downloaded ET, open the setup file and get an error "Error Downloading package" "System.NullReferenceException. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Any idea if this is on my end, or an issue with the emby server? Thanks, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Can you try again? We obviously need to improve the error message, but this just means the installer had an error downloading the application files from github. I just tested and it worked fine. Thanks.

Erik 120 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just downloaded the setup file off the website again. That part is fine, but I still get the same message just after the "Launching Application" window appears and then a second later the error appears.

Luke 36887 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hmm, that's strange. I would give it a try again later. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik 120 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 @@Luke Its still happening today, I tried every couple hours or so and 2 days still no luck. Not sure why, I even fully disabled the PiHole incase it was interfering and no luck. Its a new installation of windows 10, so nothing special about the computer. Is there an alternative download location? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrickman 5 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yeah, I'm getting the same message. It started about 11:00 ET (my tine), and it's still happening this afternoon.Here's a snip of the ambiguous message: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikSlayer 197 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I didn't bother asking about this on the 28th because when I looked in the GitHub, there was no new version anyway... but now there is a new version, and the same thing is happening.

Guest asrequested Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I pulled it down last night. It did take longer than usual, to download. One thing that happens, is that you get the popup for installing the CEC and disappears behind Theater. Installation is halted, and if you haven't noticed the popup, it just sits there. Often times, you can't see it. The timing should be adjusted, so it stays on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Had no issues downloading and installing (ET desktop). CEC popup appeared then ET launched and opened without issue. With CEC popup still on screen. This is an issue I get every time I install it. It's always gone behind. At first, I thought something had gone wrong with the installation. Theater shouldn't launch until everything has been installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki93 2 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm trying to install too, but it seems nothing happens. A small windows appears which says it's contacting the download server to load some data. It disappears after maybe a second or two an nothing else happens. Except there is a process called "Emby.Theater.Installer.exe". I noticed that the download from the github server is poorly slow: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-windows/releases/download/3.0.10/emby-theater-x64.zip (DL-rate at 25 KB/s). Downloads from other servers or video-streaming (netflix, amazon) works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36887 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I can report that the installation finally finished just now. I found an issue with the installer download causing it to be almost double in size, which I've now fixed. That should hopefully resolve the slow download.
