Any tips on how I can install Emby server on Ubuntu 12.04? The following commands are okay:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 637D1286
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF 

But I get an error message on the next line:

myname@myserver:~$ sudo echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apps-z/mediabrowser/ubuntu trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediabrowser.list 
-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediabrowser.list: Permission denied

 

Try elevating to root before running the above command:

$ sudo su
# echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/apps-z/mediabrowser/ubuntu trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediabrowser.list

Sometimes that will fix permission denied errors even if the previous command used sudo.

I'm also getting this bug. Running Ubuntu Server 14.04, unable to access the web client. Doesn't matter if I restart the mediabrowser service or reboot the machine, unable to access the server through the web client at all anymore.

 

This is not the problem I'm having. I have full access to web ui.

 

However I cannot chose to use the web ui or windows phone app to remote play to my xbmc (with kodi plugin) clients. They don't show up. A DLNA client does show up after a while though. So the issue may be related to kodi plugin. Even though the clients are listed as connected when I look at settings.

That worked! Thanks! :)

Progress, but I hit another snag after:

I'm installing it on Ubuntu 12.04

Officially we only support trusty and up. Since you are on 12.04 your are on your own, my suggestion would be to use docker, if that is not an option please look into this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

Please be aware your system's stability may be affected.

Oh. Got it. :)

I'm going through the process of trying to install emby from scratch on a clean ubuntu 14.10 mini/net install.

 

Just a small note in the install instructions.

 

after the

# install dependencies

you would need

apt-get update

before you can continue.

 

Also, maybe one should point out that before you start you would need to run sudo su, or simply put sudo on front of every line.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks to all of the developers this is awesome!

 

The only problem I have right now is I can't skip through the movies or videos? Is there anyway to be able to do that?  :(

When you say skip, do you mean something like fast forwarding while watching a movie or do you mean skipping through the library while browsing your collection?

Oh yeah should have clarified I meant fast forward while watching a movie. It's just greyed out and I can't fast forward. 

 

Oh scratch that I guess I had to wait for the video to encode or something cause I'm able to fast forward now, thanks for the fast response anyway though! I love this software!  :D

how are you guys doing with multiple streams for cpu usage? My father has two rokus and reports it's at 100% with 10 dedicated cpus (run in a VM) and the rokus sometimes reboot.

Just FYI... I installed on Ubuntu Server 15.04 and all went well. Only issue so far is that I can't use a network path for the library, I had to mount the samba share, use the mount and then make a path substitution. When I tried to use the network path for the library it would complain that it didn't exist.

I just install the emby and previously had mediabrowser installed.

Now I can't scan my library.. 

 

It seems to look for /var/lib/mediabrowser/root  which doesn't exist now, it's emby now.

 

2015-05-27 12:55:00.3465 Info - App: Scan media library Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds

2015-05-27 12:55:00.3465 Error - LibraryMonitor: Error watching path: /var/lib/mediabrowser/root

 

How can i change this? 

 

Any one with a suggestion.

 

Thanks!

/etc/default/emby is where the program data is defined. The installation process should have move /var/lib/mediabrowser to /var/lib/emby. Unless you had used other directories.

they are moved yes... i see them there, but still doesn't scan that folder.

I'm trying to test out emby again and having the same issue. VERY annoying.  I found one post that seemed to say emby can't handle ganged drives (I'm using LVM).

Please check the permission of your folder, it should be owned by emby.

First thing I checked... this is very odd.

please run the following command 

mkdir -p /var/lib/mediabrowser

ln -s /var/lib/emby/root /var/lib/mediabrowser/root

It probably has to rescan. You could always adjust your library folders. Go to the dashboard. Then library. And adjust each media location. Under Media Library, under FoldersiLNF6LR.png

No no.. these are NFS mounts on my HTPC. I just pointed my folders with emby server is all.

ie; /mnt/movies , /mnt/tvshows, etc;

It was working fine before I did this upgrade.. :)

 

FreeNas stores all my files.
