Luke 37125 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi, are you sure you started the server after installing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt 73 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) A few basic suggestions Check the firewall. Check to see if emby-server is actually running -- sudo systemctl status emby-server This will show let you know if emby-server is running. After that check the Emby logs (/var/lib/emby/logs) and look at embyserver.txt to see what's going on. Edited February 13 by richt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Sixgun 3 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 I already gave up on the install via the download from the web site and installed the flatpak version from the Software Managerin Mint. I really do not like to install flatpaks, but it installed and is working. Thanks for the concern.... Anne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing????? In the end more direct play capabilities depending on your media codecs. Additional time and resources the go into each individual device/client app. But there are lots of people happy with just a browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
