Hi, as I am using Debian Stretch with the classic SysVinit, the provided .deb file does not work correctly - as the package does not supply a init script. The older packages from the third party repository included one, but the emby.media-packages do not. So I created an init script which is working on my system, see the attached file (I had to rename it to .txt for being able to attach it). It uses the /etc/default/emby-server and /etc/emby-server.conf mechanism for setting the defaults and includes the commands from /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server (as only one such script is really needed...). To start and stop Emby, it uses start-stop-daemon which works well on my system and creates/removes the PID file on its own to address the process. Feel free to use it or to include it in the next packages. Regards, Anna emby-server.txt

Hi there, I went through the service scripts for the emby-server service, both on the systemd and the /etc/init side, but I haven't found any option where to disable the emby-server service completely, because I want to start my own emby-server instance manually without any need for a service. Other services have an "FOO_ENABLE=0" or something similar in an /etc/service.conf file, is there such an option for emby? Thank you

Good morning. I do not use an init.d script to run Emby. I use a systemd script to autostart my server. The problem is during an upgrade. Post installation script for Emby tries to run update-rc.d but since I do not have an startup script in the init.d folder I get an error that the install failed. How can i make the post installation script complete? Is there a way to turn off this functionality of the upgrade process? Any information is helpful! Thank you!
