There is an discussion of this in the beta forums. 
The bottom line is that the new beta update was screwed up big time. Emby, I believe, did not take enough care to make sure the beta they released failed to run after installing in any way.
Many of the folks there have reported they were able to roll back to the previous ver without too much problem. 
I was not so lucky and something really messed up most everything and I am having to do a "Remove Emby Server and all traces" followed by a new install of the release ver. The libraries and everything will be rebuilding for the next couple of days.

I hope you are able to get your instillation working again. 

Basically Emby pulled the new beta after all this happened.

Installing the previous beta directly over the broken one should sort you back out:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/tag/4.9.0.5

 

The broken version has been pulled from release.

you mean just overwrite the system folder with the prev versions?

[darkassassin07 429]

Yes. Keeping your programdata folder, but replacing the system folder.

 

(making a backup copy first is never a bad idea)
