transcendent 1 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Issue I had on Stretch: I couldn't upgrade from 3.0.8500.0 because emby-server depends on embymagick, which depends on libwebp5, which is uninstallable on Stretch. There is a libwebp6 in Stretch, however. I was able to modify the embymagick deb file to depend on libwebp6 instead of libwebp5 and it seems to work fine. Any foreseeable problems with this setup? Edit: had a brain fart, debian 8 != Stretch. Edited January 3, 2017 by transcendent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcatalyst 4 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We already have VA API, doesn't that cover it? I cannot get VA API to work. I have it enabled, added emby user to "video" group, and re-enabled the GPU in dietpi-config (gives the option to add more RAM and remove GPU memory if using headless)... Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Arm devices do not support va-api. Your best bet is trying to get omx going, but for best results do not use transcoding whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpheus1 1 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Installation Instructions See http://emby.media/download @@Luke, thanks for your real hard work on this project. I'm yet to enjoy its juices. Lots of friends are enjoying it. My latest problem, I decided to remove OMV and set up a vanilla server using Debian 8 as the base. So far so good, until it's time to add media folders and Emby would not do it. I've read up on this and lots of people with just as many solutions. I read your post here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Library%20Setup But unfortunately, even though this is a recognized problem, that did not mention how one can resolve the issue of adding media folders to emby. I deeply appreciate that you mention emby has to be given, at least, read access. But you know what, I don't know how to do this. Perhaps you could help. Or, better, perhaps future releases of emby would make this issue absolete. It seems a very common problem. And truly, some of the hacks out there, up until this year, are just nuts! I thank you, dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are great. I thank you. You encourage me to stick with emby. And as I read about it in Linux Format, I'm sticking it out as well because it's pure open source. Here's what I've done. I added the drives to fstab, using uuid (UUID /mountpoint/ ext4 /defaults 0 0) The label of the disk is movies1 and the folder with the data is MOVIES1 This means they're auto mounted on boot. Once mounted, I then click on them to open the folders on them to get to the folder with data. Then I copied the complete directory path from the File Manger, open emby on the browser and then added that path as seen on the picture. And then hit "OK". This is what I understood by what you asked me to do, which to me makes sense than the loads of solutions I read on the forum. As you would see below, the result is not good, as seen in the same picture. I am out of ideas. Can I encourage you to see if I you can find a way around mono to make this part much efficient, as virtually everyone using emby on linux would have to solve this problem. And that's not a good thing. When I had OMV, I did not have to deal with it like this, so perhaps that's an idea. Anyway, I'm waiting and being patient and thankful for your help. Can you say when next you expect the release that settles the profile issue for the WD Plus box. I look forward to your response in proceeding.

welish 0 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I've been running emby server on a Debian 8 box for a few months and all seemed to be stable and well. Yesterday, I looked at the web-interface dashboard and it showed: Version 3.1.2.0 A new version of Emby Server is available! Version 3.1.5 is now available for download. so I ran an apt-get to get version 3.1.5 of the server. However, it showed that there was nothing to update, so I decided to wait another day and try again. Today, same result. So I did a bit of digging: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby-server.list deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/Debian_8.0/ / So that's correct. dpkg -l emby-server Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===============================-====================-====================-==================================================================== ii emby-server 3.1.283~beta-13.1 all Emby Server is a home media server. Whoops!. What's a beta version doing there? I've not installed a beta. So three questions: 1. Why is the dashboard saying I'm on 3.1.2 when I seem to be on 3.1.283-beta 2. How did I get to install a beta when I only run vanilla apt-get upgrades and I've never run apt-get install emby-server-beta? 3. Can I simply download the 3.1.5 .deb package and do a dpkg -i - or will this cause problems? Regards Edited to add that I checked all emby* packages installed and emby-server-beta was not explicitly installed: dpkg -l emby* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===============================-====================-====================-==================================================================== un emby <none> <none> (no description available) ii emby-server 3.1.283~beta-13.1 all Emby Server is a home media server. un emby-server-beta <none> <none> (no description available) un emby-server-dev <none> <none> (no description available) ii embymagick:amd64 6.9.6+6-7.1 amd64 low-level image manipulation library -- quantum depth Q8 Edited February 5, 2017 by welish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
