Luke 39352 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Installation Instructions See http://emby.media/download
jose 73 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) The package has been installed and tested on Fedora 19+ and CentOS 6.5+ For CentOS you need to enable/install the epel repository: sudo yum install epel-release For Fedora: *If you have the rpmfusion repositories then install ffmpeg from there and the server won't download it when it first boot up. For all: You can also create/modify the file at /etc/opt/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowserServer/MediaBrowserServer.cfg and add a path for ffmpeg and ffprobe if you dont have them installed in /bin in the following format: FFmpeg="/bin/ffmpeg" FFprobe="/bin/ffprobe" If the server cant find them it will download them the first time you start it. Steps: Download and install the repo package from here Update to latest repo: sudo yum update MediaBrowserServer-repositories If your system meets the server dependancies you can go ahead and install the server: sudo yum install MediaBrowserServer if not you can enable the MediaBrowserServer-Dependancies repo to supply the dependancies sudo yum-config-manager --enable MediaBrowserServer-Dependancies and then proceed to install the server.You can start the service by typing: sudo service MediaBrowserServer start To stop/restart or see the status of the service substitute start with the appropriate command. On init.d system such as CentOS 6.5 (it comes on by default) sudo chkconfig MediaBrowserServer on to stop it from starting when the system boots up: sudo chkconfig MediaBrowserServer off To enable Beta releases type sudo yum-config-manager --enable MediaBrowserServer-Beta System Tray Icon:To have a tray-icon just like the Windows version install MediaBrowserServer-sysTray Only tested on gnome at the moment sudo yum install MediaBrowserServer-sysTray After it is installed reload gnome by pressing [alt]+[f2] typing [r] in the box and pressing [enter]. Start the tray icon by clicking on the Media Browser Server application.It will start the server service when you click on the application and close it if you click exit on the tray icon.

jose 73 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Init script added to rpm, now you can start the service as a service/daemon on Fedora 19+ and CentOS 6.5+
everst 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, how switch from Stable to Beta or Dev on Centos 6.6 ?
jose 73 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 For beta: sudo yum-config-manager --enable MediaBrowserServer-Beta for deb remove beta or stable and sudo yum-config-manager --enable MediaBrowserServer-Dev Right now the latest between stable and beta is stable. Dev doesnt have a version number in the package so you have to uninstall the server and also disable the beta and stable repositories then enable the deb repository and reinstall the server
jose 73 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Now the dev package will update/ install over beta and stable versions. If by chance the latest stable or beta is greater than dev, dev wont be updated you have to remove it and disable the repo. The beta will be overridden by a greater version of stable. Also you wont see the version number from yum, you will have to open the web browser and go to the server directly to see the version of it. To get the latest packaged dev version: sudo yum-config-manager --enable MediaBrowserServer-Dev sudo yum install MediaBrowserServer-dev If you wish to revert back you will need to remove MediaBrowserServer-dev sudo yum remove MediaBrowserServer and also disable the dev repository.
Tyro 1 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Please forgive me if I'm hijacking the thread, I was running MB3 about 2 months ago, all working very well, and had to take it off for a bit. When i went to reinstall, I the new current release requires libwebp 0.42 my machine (Fedora 19) only has libwebp 0.31. I've not had the time to blow it down and upgrade to FC20 (FC21 will be a disaster for me as I need both workstation and server.. aka. a lot of manual package installations after it stabilizes) As first step, I've built 0.42 and dropped it in and updated ldconfig appropriately. Is there a suggested way to either a. grab the previous version RPM and do the binary install or b. grab the source tree and config/build/install locally ? Thanks,C . Edited February 22, 2015 by ChuckL
Luke 39352 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 You can just go without libwebp. The server will recover just fine without it. When the next release rolls around in a few weeks it won't be used anymore anyway.

Thanks, C . a new dependencies repo for 19 is being build it will provide all the dependencies needEd. When the new release comes out i will take libwebp out as a dependency.
Tyro 1 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 *Admins, please feel free to move this out of this thread to a more appropriate location As a follow-up to my previous, FC20 is installed (fresh w/ homemake package list migration tool) MBS installation MediaBrowserServer.noarch 0:3.0.5490.2-Stable.59.1 fails for deps FC20 current versions not meeting MBS requirements are: mono-devel 2.10.8-5.fc20 (mono-core also 2.10.8-5) libwebp = 0.3.1-2.fc20 libgdiplus = 2.10-10.fc20
thefirstofthe300 292 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 That mono version won't actually work with the server. Mono 3.2.8 is the minimum required and Mono 3.4 or greater is recommended (except for 3.12 which has a known bug that causes massive slowness in MB).

fc7 123 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I've got a dependency problem to update to the latest Beta release on CentOS 7 (x64): Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package MediaBrowserServer.noarch 0:3.0.5518.7-Stable.61.1 will be updated ---> Package MediaBrowserServer.noarch 0:3.0.5557.0-Beta.35.1 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: libgdiplus-opt > 3.0.0 for package: MediaBrowserServer-3.0.5557.0-Beta.35.1.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: MediaBrowserServer-3.0.5557.0-Beta.35.1.noarch (MediaBrowserServer-Beta) Requires: libgdiplus-opt > 3.0.0 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Can you check it please? Edited March 22, 2015 by fc7
jose 73 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 That is my fault i have been busy working on other sutff and forgot to update the dependencies for beta you don't need libgdiplus it is going to use imagemagick now which will be provided by the dependencies repo.
fc7 123 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for fixing it jose. This morning I was able to update without issues.
stangri 2 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Have problem updating to Stable.63.1 on CentOS release 6.6: --> Processing Dependency: ImageMagick > 6.8 for package: MediaBrowserServer-3.0.5569.0-Stable.63.1.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: MediaBrowserServer-3.0.5569.0-Stable.63.1.noarch (MediaBrowserServer) Requires: ImageMagick > 6.8 Available: ImageMagick-6.5.4.7-7.el6_5.i686 (base) ImageMagick = 6.5.4.7-7.el6_5 I've tried to install ImageMagick-last (6.9.0.4) from remi, but that doesn't help to resolve dependency. Any ideas?

Any ideas? You can try: yum update MediaBrowserServer --disablerepo=baseI'm assuming you are not using yum's priority plugin. If you are just assign base and MediaBrowser repos the same priority.Also check that MediaBrowserDependencies repo is enable. That should solve the problem. Edited April 2, 2015 by fc7 1
stangri 2 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Also check that MediaBrowserDependencies repo is enable. Thanks man, that solved my problem -- the MediaBrowserDependencies was NOT enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/MediaBrowserServer.repo. Once I've enabled it, the update went smoothly.
stangri 2 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Uhm, I think it worked properly yesterday, but today I've started having problems: # /etc/init.d/MediaBrowserServer status MediaBrowserServer is stopped Mono: 3.10.0 (tarball Sat Nov 15 01:40:41 UTC 2014) Application Path: /opt/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowserServer/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an insta nce of an object at MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.MainClass.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 It crashes on start leaving orphaned pid and subsys files. UPDATE: Weird, I've "shutdown" the server from the web-page and it started working again. Edited April 4, 2015 by stangri
the-dumb1 127 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I have primarily run Windows as my operating system of choice, but recently decided to switch to Linux. I played with a bunch of different Linux distributions before settling on CentOS primarily because packages were developed for it. I'm grateful for this forum and the directions, but I struggled quite a bit in getting it up and running. I found that I had to disable SELinux in my CentOS 7 install because it was preventing the Emby service from running (I know this because even after following the directions in this thread, there was no process listening port 8096). Just thought I'd add this info in case anyone else struggled.

fc7 123 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I'm running Emby on CentOS7 with SELINUX disabled too. I can't remember if I even tried to run it with SELINUX enabled. Usually I just disable SELINUX because is causing me more pain and headaches than any other thing.
Doonga 17 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Looks like the repository got switched over to the Emby naming. What do I need to run to pick that up along with the latest version?
jose 73 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 There is an emby repo in the works, the is a change of user and file location but it hasnt been released yet.
