I feel stupid now.

Honestly I did not even see that sentence until you pointed it out.

Thanks - it worked :-)

 

Awesome!

NOTICE: it seems that the new Emby server beta has problems to stream video to iOS devices (music works ok) using the webclient with Safari (and possible also the app but I coudln't test this yet). So if you use iOS clients for video streaming a lot you might want to wait until the problem is fixed to try emby-server-beta, or even wait for the next stable release.

Thanks

A new version of emby-server-beta is out: 3.0.5713.2

 

If you had any problems streaming to iOS devices with previous beta versions they seem to be fixed in this new beta.

 

As always any feedback is welcome.

 

Thanks

I cannot manage to upgrade.

I have 3.0.5713.1, but when i do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade emby-server it does not upgrade.

Any idea?

Tnx

Beta has been updated, not stable. Emby-sever is the stable release if you wish to try the beta it is emby-sever-beta

Probably a really really dumb question but I swear I've googled the heck out of it.

 

I installed Emby on Lubuntu on ESXi, all is working fine but how do I get the emby-service to start automatically when the server reboots?

I am still having occasional problems streaming video to iOS devices.  I can log into emby just fine and browse my videos fine.  When I tap the Play button the screen goes black and the play button comes up.  It then just sits there.  I can tap the Play button all I want but nothing ever happens.  When I look at the logs on the server, there is never a transcode log created.  When I run top, there is never an ffmpeg thread running.  It is like the server never sees the request to start the video.

 

Test devices have been iPhone 5s(iOS 8.4), iPhone 6 (iOS 9), iPad 2 (iOS 8.4), iPad Air 2 (iOS 9)

Server Linux Ubuntu running 3.0.5713.6

It should work. What version of ubuntu are you running?

If 15.04 I think it should be running systemd.

So you can try this:

$ sudo systemctl enable emby-server

And Emby should start automatically on next reboots.

I just updated to version 3.0.5724.4 through apt, and now my server is showing as a fresh install, with no media in the library and none of my settings.

 

After some further investigation, it seems like before this update emby was still using the databases from my previous mediabrowser install (/var/lib/mediabrowser/data), but now it's switched to new ones in the emby directory.  Is there any way to get back my old settings without breaking everything?

There should be three possible solutions:

 

1. Run the following commands: echo PURGE | debconf-communicate  emby-server

echo PURGE | debconf-communicate  emby-server-beta

dpkg-reconfigure emby-server

When asked for the home of the user emby answer /var/lib/mediabrowser

 

2. Edit /etc/emby-server.conf

Adjust the EMBY_DATA line as follows: EMBY_DATA="/var/lib/mediabrowser"

 

3. Edit /etc/passwd  and djust the home of emby user to /var/lib/mediabrowser

 

I'm pretty certain solution 1 will work on its own. If you use solution 3 then do solution 2 in conjunction.

1. the first command gave me permission errors, even using sudo, but option 2. seems to have worked so thank you.

 

Is this an issue that's likely to recur with future updates?

Yes, in the short term, unless you change emby users home. The first command needs to be run as root. You can not use use sudo when using sudo only echo gets run as root

I am trying to upgrade emby-server to the latest release.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I run the update, I receive this error:

this is firefox, right? are you able to update your ffmpeg? it looks like it's missing libvpx. You can also try chrome. Firefox is the only browser/device that relies on libvpx.
