Advanced Media Information Failed on Emby-Server

[hjason7812 31]

Hello, i have been noticing this error for something that keeps failing to update. i have no idea what it is or how to fix it. Please see the screenshot provided of this error.
I have searched and searched through my server to find this and haven't been able to find this program or plugin whatever it is. But someone please help me fix this where it starts to work properly.

Thank you

Please post the server log but suggest the plugin needs an update.  And potentially needs to be in plugin section or the plugins topic.

Have not looked much but @rbjtech@Cheesegeezerare there any platform limits.

sorry for late reply i have all updates for the entire plugin. i got fed up with it and nobody helping so i deleted it. such a shame because it seems like it would be a great plugin for emby. emby should just absorb the media toolbox plugin so people can use it without having to jusmp through so many hoops to get it working or not.

The plugin tries to use the a standard c# library to determine the OS - if it cannot do that, then it fails.

Why the library is not identifying FreeBSD I'm not sure (it should return Linux) - I cannot reproduce as I do not run FreeBSD.  The community may be able to help.

        public static OSPlatform GetOperatingSystem()
        {
            if (RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.OSX))
            {
                return OSPlatform.OSX;
            }

            if (RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Linux))
            {
                return OSPlatform.Linux;
            }

            if (RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows))
            {
                return OSPlatform.Windows;
            }

            throw new Exception("Cannot determine operating system!");
        }

It's very strange it doesn't want to work. It keeps failing the advanced media scan. So until someone fixes it or emby implements it into the server itself it will never get fixed.
