MausMedia 4 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Hi guys, Very much hope you can help me with this issue. I've been a lifelong Emby fan and purchased the premier account a few years back. I've successfully managed to get it running on all my old computers (PC and MAC) but this time something doesn't work. M2 pro, Sonoma OSX, library on external hard drive (also tested it with a folder on my desktop but same result). Using Version 4.7.14.0 I have the server set up on http://localhost:8096/ Been through the wizard. My Samsung TV upstairs can find the server and library but also crashes when it tries to play anything. When I start the Emby server it loads the page successfully (even though it takes a while) and I can see the library is populated and pointing towards the external hard drive where I store my videos. However, when I click on any of the videos, I get the message: "No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details." I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the video formats since I've got over 400 videos in there, of all sorts of different file types and codecs. None of them work. I'm guessing Emby has a problem accessing the files - maybe a permission issue? I have attached the log. Let me know if there is any other info you need. Thank you! embyserver log.txt Edited October 2, 2023 by MausMedia Added Emby version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hi, how did you install the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MausMedia 4 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hi Luke, I installed the server from the Emby website. I chose the option: macOS 10.14+ ARM64 (M1, M2) And I mounted the file and double clicked on the executable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MausMedia 4 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 I believe it was mounted automatically after it had finished downloading. Is there a specific way of installing I should try? I can do a fresh install if you think it would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please try following the directions on our website exactly? https://emby.media/mac-server.html It's the only supported method to both install and launch the server. Thanks.

MausMedia 4 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 That did the trick, thank you! This time I dragged the application to the applications folder. Everything works now. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MausMedia 4 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Hi Luke, I may have been too hasty in my reply. I can now watch the content on my Mac and Emby loads fine on my local host in the web browser. But I can’t for the life of me now connect to my Samsung TV! That was working before… I have put in my LAN access IP and PORT but it doesn’t want to connect… i have changed at the Emby server is running as it’s in my activity monitor. I can load up local host fine on my mac. But it doesn’t work on my mobile phone or TV that are connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
