KRULL Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I installed Emby for the first time on my DS415+, I have not done the update part of the front page installation. I am using this with Kodi running on my Nvidia Shield TV. Two things I noticed, it runs library updates constantly. I was expecting to see the popup on Kodi when something new was added to the library folders as happens with the Watchdog add on (this add on was disabled). Any time I accessed the media to watch anything, as soon as I stopped, the Emby would scan the library again. It would then happen at other time frequently when I could not associate a reason for it to occur. Is there a setting I have missed that controls the frequency of these scans? Secondly, and a greater concern. It causes the RAM (I have 2GB) usage to double. Traditionally when I watch a program, both Mono and Python use about 120MB each. Emby is causing another process of Mono to run using RAM of about 240-260MB. Here are some screen shots to show usage and the effect of Emby and you can clearly see when I disable it. These were all taken playing back the same media file at rouchly the same time frame. I installed Emby for the first time on my DS415+, I have not done the update part of the front page installation.

Luke Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ok, yea that's getting a little old now. That version is from a few months ago and there have been a lot of improvements since then regarding library scanning. i'll see if i can get the package builder to build the latest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66LUX Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) 2. Download and install winSCP http://winscp.net/eng/download.php login as root to synology I had trouble at this point. It might be worthwhile adding that you first need to enable SSH from within DSM5. To do this, go to Control Panel -> Terminal and SNMP -> Terminal tab and tick the "Enable SSH Service" box. Click apply. Edited September 20, 2015 by 66LUX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkjeje Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hello, What should I do to update Emby ?My version is 3.0.5597.1 Evansport .Should I follow this : Updating 1. Go to https://github.com/M...e/master/Server and download MediaBrowser.Mono.zip then extract into a folder 2. Download and install winSCP http://winscp.net/eng/download.php login as root to synology 3. Make sure the Emby service is stopped 4. Copy the contents of the MediaBrowser.Mono folder into /volume1/@appstore/emby/share/emby (or wherever it has been installed, the contents of your MediaBrowser.Mono.zip should look like the contents of the folder you are copying into) 5. At this point (till there is a new build) you need to edit /volume1/@appstore/emby/chare/emby/ImageMagicSharp.dll.config Change the Q8 to Q16 so the thumbnails work. <configuration> <dllmap dll="CORE_RL_Wand_.dll" target="libMagickWand-6.Q16.so" os="linux"/> <dllmap dll="CORE_RL_Wand_.dll" target="libMagickWand-6.so" os="freebsd,openbsd,netbsd"/> <dllmap dll="CORE_RL_Wand_.dll" target="./MediaInfo/osx/libmediainfo.dylib" os="osx"/></configuration> 5. Start Emby This is the procedure to update automatically Emby ? Thanks for your help. Jérémy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is a emby package for alpine. On the other hand , there isn't a emby package for x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonald Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I successfully have emby server up on my DS2413+ and currently am scanning my libraries. I am using Emby Server 3.0.574.5 and installed the x64 version of ffmpeg. One installation instruction item that I'd like to point out - on the initial instructions from 2015-06-30 the address for cytec.us is incorrect as it is an https site, not http. I tried playing a Blu-Ray movie that I have on the server (while the library is being scanned) and the movie pegged the CPU utilization and so the playback was halting - 5 seconds of play and 15 sec of pause. I wonder if I have this installed correctly... The movie library is relatively large - and the scan is about 55% complete after 30-40 minutes. Thanks in advance! Lon Hmm... I'm watching the DSM resource monitor and the library scan alone is pinning the CPU at 99% and the memory use is also high.
