OK. 3.05783 no longer works, as a matter of fact, I can no longer start it (windows gives me a crash, and it doesn't even start a log file for me. last emby log file attached as a text message. It seems that (from what I can attempt to see) that emby didnt get thru to the db for a lookup. It is no longer starting up enough to even get a log file from today. the file I was going to upload turned out to be 64meg, cut the first couple and last couple of error messages and attached to this message. OK: So as I reviewed it , I saw: bad connection to movie database bad file permissions on network drive (same machine...)] and that was all I could find. didn't want to do anything until I ran it by the group first. MOST IMPORTANT <<<<-------------------- I can no longer get the emby server to start up again, I get the following error messages from windows (below)... I think I may try and see if a repair on the emby package may help. TIA. markb PPS: edit: I tried to do a repair on the emby server but only option was uninstall. I'm getting tired of re-marking everything read... sigh Problem signature: (from windows) Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe Application Version: 3.0.5783.0 Application Timestamp: 568602e2 Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.19045 Fault Module Timestamp: 56258f05 Exception Code: e0434352 Exception Offset: 0000c42d OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 -------------------------------------- NO other ideas? finally reloaded v3.0.5785.0 tonight, will report what happens tomorrow ok emby created a 12K (blank) file in log directory called server-635881402108.txt that was totally blankl Next question: could this be related to the fact I am now running an X64 version of win7? emby-error-upload-snip.txt

Hi all, Random question here, but I've been trying to decide recently if I should make the jump to Windows 8.1 or not. I don't really have a good reason to, but I've been thinking about giving it a try. After doing some research on the subject, I haven't really found any compelling reason whether I should, or should not switch, so I thought I'd ask some fellow MediaBrowser's what their take was on the subject. I don't want the cost of a new operating system to sway people's opinions either, this is just subject to people's preferences on the two OS's, and not whether it's worth the money to upgrade or not. I only really want to hear from people with experience with both 7 and 8.1, and what their opinion is on why they like either one better. - Currently I'm running WIndows 7 Home Premium x64 All I want to know is: Are there really any advantages I'll get from switching to 8.1? Are there advantages to me staying with Windows 7? Are there any trade-offs to switching from 7 to 8.1 and vise versa? Which do you prefer, and why? The computer in question is my main PC, which runs MBServer and MBT. It's connected to the 65" TV in my living room, and is also used for 95% of my web-browsing, gaming, word processing, etc. ...Basically, pretend it's my only computer, and used for everything. It's main use, however (+/-65% of the time); is for an HTPC What I'd like to get from this thread is the majority of you telling me either: Yes, go to Windows 8.1, it's totally worth it! or NO! You're better off with Windows 7! and why you think this way. Thanks! and sorry for the relatively long post, but I just can't decide on my own! haha. Patrick
