So I fixed it, but I don't know *why* it worked which is annoying. (But better than not fixing it!)  The Ubuntu "disks" app allows manual settings of the mount commands rather than auto.  I just had it mount configured manually (I took of "nosuid" but that ended up not being needed.)  When I mounted it that way, it just worked.  I was planning to chown and chmod the thing but didn't have too.

Again, you have to make sure the user running the emby server can traverse the entire path, not just the directory containing the media files. If the user is emby then it has to be able to access all of the sub-directories in the path starting from /media. Not write privs but r and x for the directories and r for the files. There are many ways you could do this. One is to add emby to the group that has access if it's the same for all of the content on the external drive or another is to run chmod -R o+rX /media (that's an upper case x) to give file and directory read access to everyone.

 

I agree.  There was some sort of permission thing not working.  I need to play with it a bit to figure out what the issue was... or maybe I'll just watch a movie. :-)

Agree, download links work but I cannot install 4.2.0.31_amd64.deb on my Microserver Gen10. dpkg says it's not a debian format archive...

 

uname tells me I have x86_64 architecture.

 

Used the following commands with sudo:

curl -O https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.2.0.31/emby-server-deb_4.2.0.31_amd64.deb

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.2.0.31_amd64.deb

 

Result:

dpkg-deb: Fehler: 'emby-server-deb_4.2.0.31_amd64.deb' ist kein Debian Format Archiv  --> "... is not a debian format archive"
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Archivs emby-server-deb_4.2.0.31_amd64.deb (--install):
 Unterprozess dpkg-deb --control gab den Fehler-Ausgangsstatus 2 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 emby-server-deb_4.2.0.31_amd64.deb

There is a redirect for that URL and curl is not following it.

 

Try curl -OL or wget.

we love the Halloween theme... suggestion: change the css styling for all the orange buttons to have the text color black. The white letter are impossible to see easily at a distance

Hello, unfortunately I can't seem to get emby server working tonight - can't even access the server dashboard. I know Lubuntu did some updates this afternoon, which may or not be related, but I didn't pay much attention to what they were.

 

I've tried restarting from command line, as well as rebooting the whole PC, but still no luck.

 

Any advice please before I do a complete uninstall/reinstall (which I'd rather avoid!) ?

 

Recent logs attached, thanks in advance.

 

What exactly happens?

FYI

 

----I posted this in the hardware accel testing forum, but its prob better served here---

 

just upgraded to ubuntu 19.10, looks like the group permissions needed for emby to see the /dev/dri/render D128 for hardware transcoding changed to render from video. I just added emby to that group and shes good to go. 

 

here is what ls -la looks like in /dev/dri/

 

drwxr-xr-x   3 root root        100 Nov  7 16:29 .
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root       4640 Nov  7 16:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root         80 Nov  7 16:29 by-path
crw-rw----+  1 root video  226,   0 Nov  7 16:29 card0
crw-rw----+  1 root render 226, 128 Nov  7 16:29 renderD128

After a bit of googling I've managed to resolve my issue by removing (renaming) library.db , and all working fine now, so no further action required.

 

Thank you for your time anyway  :)

Thanks. Going forward I would suggest opening a new topic and attaching your server log. Chances are it could have resolved in a much less destructive way than deleting your library database. Glad you're all set now.

Could I possibly get your server info so i can connect my emby? I'd really appreciate it if you would let me. Thank you

 

Hi @@Don66, you need to setup your own Emby Server so that you can stream your personal media. I would suggest checking out our Quick Start guide:

There is no sound unless I force it to transcode, using ubuntu server/ emby latest 4.3

Yea looks like we're allowing mp2 to direct play when it should transcode. It is resolved for the next release. Thanks.

Hello, my friend! I run the server on Ubuntu, everything works fine, but the server only works on HTTP port 8096. The configuration has an HTTPS port installed, and the server does not start on it. Can you tell me where to look for the problem?

Did you setup an SSL certificate in the server's network settings?

This is expected behavior, it sounds like you're expecting otherwise? To use https you need to setup an SSL certifiicate. Regarding the server not starting, please see how to report a problem and we're happy to help. Thanks.

An ssl certificate is required even on a local network? even if I don’t have a tick on the permission of remote access?
