Luke 40017 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 If I have to uninstall it and re install can you send me to a link to do it well You probably don't need to do that, however, if you decide to, just follow the install instructions on our website: https://emby.media/linux-server.html Let us know if this helps. Thanks !

Luke 40017 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Posted October 21, 2017 For those who would like to help test emby server running on .net core, we have fedora packages available for testing: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50012-emby-server-for-net-core/ Just jump right into that discussion. Thanks !
Adamizme 3 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm running Emby on CentOS 7. I've been lazy lately and haven't updated my server in several months. The latest update of the Android client would not work with my server, so I was forced to update the server. I went ahead and updated everything which brought me up to centos 7.4. Everything appeared to go smoothly, but now I cannot cast from the android app or from a browser to my Chromecast devices. The screen attached to the Chromecast goes black and then the video plays on my local device rather than casting. I've tried from my android phone, Chrome browser on a Windows PC, and Chrome browser on a mac. Any ideas? Casting from all other sources works fine.

Hi, restart your casting app and try again, thanks.
Adamizme 3 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Hi, restart your casting app and try again, thanks. I've restarted the app and the entire phone. I even power cycled my Chromecast units. It appears the issue is with the server since I've tried from multiple computers/devices with similar results. Any idea where to begin looking?
Adamizme 3 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I rebooted the server, the chromecast, and my phone again. It works now... ?? Anyway... thank you! Sorry to bug you about this.
casperghst42 5 Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Hi, I am trying to get Emby installed on CentOS 7.3 and am running into an old problem. The Emby rpm seams to have been build on Fedora against libraries which does not exist on CentOS: ---> Package embymagick.x86_64 0:6.9.6+6-7.3 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libpng16.so.16(PNG16_0)(64bit) for package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libwebp.so.6()(64bit) for package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libpng16.so.16()(64bit) for package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 ---> Package fftw-libs-double.x86_64 0:3.3.3-8.el7 will be installed ---> Package m4.x86_64 0:1.4.16-10.el7 will be installed ---> Package mailx.x86_64 0:12.5-16.el7 will be installed ---> Package patch.x86_64 0:2.7.1-8.el7 will be installed ---> Package psmisc.x86_64 0:22.20-15.el7 will be installed ---> Package redhat-lsb-submod-security.x86_64 0:4.1-27.el7.centos.1 will be installed ---> Package spax.x86_64 0:1.5.2-13.el7 will be installed ---> Package time.x86_64 0:1.7-45.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 (home_emby) Requires: libwebp.so.6()(64bit) Error: Package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 (home_emby) Requires: libpng16.so.16()(64bit) Error: Package: embymagick-6.9.6+6-7.3.x86_64 (home_emby) Requires: libpng16.so.16(PNG16_0)(64bit) If I do an rpm search for "libwebp.so.6()(64bit)" then I find it for Fedora25/26 but not for RHEL7/CentOS7. It would be nice if: - the dependencies in the rpm was correct so that it would be possible to install on RHEL7/CentOS7 - that the .src.rpm would be available so that it would be easy to rebuild on a non-fedora system Please follow the RPM build information for Fedora and dependencies: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Package_Dependencies I'll spin a Debian/Ubunto container for this, as this, I cannot get to work. Thanks, Casper

Our website has been updated with a whole new process and no longer has any references to emby-imagemagick. Thanks. First I tried to use the .rpm provided on the website, which would not start, probably due to missing dependencies. Then I tried with a repo, which pointed in the wrong direction (thank you for pointing that out). Now after your response, I found the CentOS 7 repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/CentOS_7/ which works. You should provide a link to that on your install page, as the rpm you provide does not work in all cases. Thank you for your response, Casper
Luke 40017 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Posted October 31, 2017 No actually, that repo is now considered legacy and will eventually be deprecated. So we should look at whatever issue you had with the rpm.

For me (I cannot say for curtain as I don't have the .spec): 1) you need to create 'emby' as a user if it does not exist 2) you need to create /var/lib/emby as the service will not have the rights to do so (and give 'emby' ownership of it). Then it should work. I guess the reason why people are not seeing this, is that they already have emby installed when they move across to use your .rpm Cheers, Casper
alucryd 238 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 The user creation was recently moved from post scriptlet to posttrans scriptlet. But install and upgrade transactions are both passed 0 as argument and the if [ $1 = 1 ] wasn't triggered. Ths for the heads up, the next rpm will fix that.
