Synology 7.2 Beta Compatibility

I know the beta just came out but has anyone successfully updated and confirmed Emby works?

I generally test the betas at home to confirm other packages work since I use them in my office as well but with the issues that arise with rolling back a Synology update I would love to hear if the plunge has been taken by anyone else yet before I update.

That wouldn't be quite correct as latest beta has been out for quite some time - 3 months, give or take - and number of users feel that next release in beta cycle is already overdue, so not sure where you obtained that info from.

Yes, quite a few, actually, been mentioned number of times and in numerous topics present in both Synology and Testing Area forum subsections.

Rolling back is generally not recommended due to changes usually introduced with each new version. You might get lucky one time or another, but eventually you'll find yourself with your installation broken and you'll have to rebuild from scratch.

My understanding was the public release of DSM 7.2 beta (which I believe was released as 7.2-63134) was just the other day though the toolchain had been released at the end of last year.  I could certainly be wrong though.

I must be completely blind because the only post I see regarding the DSM 7.2 beta at all is from January in this section.

I agree with you, hence why I didn't just manually update to 7.2 and find out for myself.  

 

I went ahead and upgraded as there are other packages that need to be tested and it would appear Emby refuses to run.  Specifically it runs for maybe 15 seconds and then stops, both with a manual installation upgrade and a fresh uninstall/install.

Ah, no, that was my misunderstanding, thought you were referring to Emby beta, not DSM. In that case, wouldn't know, haven't been paying particular attention to DSM versions beyond whether DSM 6 or DSM 7+.

Hi, actually we do have new 7.2 compatible packages, I just haven't had a chance to put them on the website yet.

Can you try our existing ones though? When we first tried with an early 7.2 beta, the packages would not load at all, however we haven't had a chance to retest on the latest beta.

I can confirm that with the public 7.2 beta and the latest Emby 64-bit package (both stable and beta) do not appear to run.  They will start for a few seconds and then "manually stop".  There do not appear to be any entries in the console logs regarding the package after it initially tries to run, i.e., the last entry reads it started but it certainly has stopped.

Hello Luke,
same experience as @NXLTrauma25after updating to DSM 7.2. Emby 4.8.0.21-beta immediately crashes after startup.
Any chance of a DSM 7.2 compatible 4.8.0.21 version or later soon?
If logs or the likes are needed I'm happy to help.

Cheers

That works!

I had to uninstall as I was on 4.8 beta but it appears to be working now.  Thanks!

Wow! I wouldn't have dared because I've been burned before aka lost all settings when trying a "downgrade" and had to rebuild from scratch.
Worked fine here as well it seems - uninstalled 4.8.0.21 and installed 4.7.11. All settings, users, plug-ins and data kept.
I'm a happy camper 😁

I would assume you would have database issues as there are major changes.  Plugins should fail also as you would have to downgrade them normally to compatibility issues but will vary per plugin.  As core plugin come in each version.

Just a heads up that if you're rolling back from the beta then I would suggest a fresh install. Make sure to manually delete the server's data folder so that you can start fresh. Rolling back from 4.8 to 4.7 on the same installation is pretty much guaranteed to be problematic, both now, and then later when it eventually gets upgraded back to 4.8.

Agreed.  I noticed some library ite.s were missing but a deletion of the library.db files fixed it.  I guess a full delete of the entire data folder is in order though.

Correct just the delete library.db unless you are wanting to completely start over.

Hi, yes DSM 7.2 is supported.

 I haven't had a chance to update the website yet, but you can find the Synology 72 spk's here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/tag/4.7.11.0

Ok an update   i now installed emby-server-synology72_4.8.0.30_x86_64.  and i only see the emby logo no menu nothing on my Synology   so it is running but no controls. So i checked on my Nvidia shield and to my suprise everything works .   So conclusion Emby does work only you can't control (Acces) the emby server it works on my shield in my phone

If you are going to use beta copies, please check the forums before doing so. This is likely a known issue.

I installed the newest beta .30 for Synology and am having the same problems as many here have reported... is there any way to go back to the .27 beta version???

If so, where can I find it for download?  Thanks!

Hi, we're happy to help. Best thing to do is open a new topic in the Testing Area: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/102-emby-server/

And provide the information requested in 

Thanks.
