frankp 1 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Is this an error that can cause some trouble? Warning: The home dir /usr/lib/emby-server you specified already exists.

hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) The maintainers scripts in the stable package need to be update so that this error doesn't occur, I can't remember if it will cause errors. You can double check it out though by enusring that /etc/default/emby-server and /etc/emby-server don't actually reference /usr/lib/emby-server when setting the variable EMBY_DATA, it should actually be /var/lib/emby-server. If /etc/default/emby-server is wrong then in /etc/emby-server just place EMBY_DATA=/var/lib/emby-server This issue has been addressed in the beta and dev, I'm just waiting for user feedback to update the stable. I haven't gotten any though, so I might have to do the testing myself. Edited November 15, 2015 by hurricanehrndz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankp 1 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) The /etc/emby-server.conf file already directs to the /var/lib directory EMBY_USER="emby" EMBY_BIN="/usr/lib/emby-server/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe" EMBY_DATA="/var/lib/emby-server" EMBY_PIDFILE="/var/run/emby-server.pid" I also still experience the problems with the images.

hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Supposedly the issue is with your image file, did you ensure you can actually view the image with another viewer and that it is not.corrupted or a symlink Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankp 1 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's working now. It seems like it was a permission thing in the folders. Permissions are now set to 777 and that seems to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankp 1 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Will this http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/28188-massive-update-for-debian-and-ubuntu/ have any positive effects on emby-server for the RPI2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Its all the same changes across the board. Makes it possible for people to have a little more freedom as to what packages they wanted installed along side emby.

frankp 1 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If i understand it right, i can replace imagemagick with new embymagick. But i see in the status monitor under Ubuntu 14.04 the emby-server package is unresolvable. Does that mean no luck for now for the RPI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankp 1 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 When the service emby-server is started (sudo service emby-server start) it starts /usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh For some reason this script will not find the compiled ffmpeg / ffprobe version. I solved this on my PI by editing these lines (sudo nano /usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh): # ffmpeg FFMPEG_BIN=$(which ffmpeg) [ -n "$FFMPEG_BIN" ] && FFMPEG_OPTS="-ffmpeg $FFMPEG_BIN" # ffprobe FFPROBE_BIN=$(which ffprobe) [ -n "$FFPROBE_BIN" ] && FFPROBE_OPTS="-ffprobe $FFPROBE_BIN" to... # ffmpeg #FFMPEG_BIN=$(which ffmpeg) FFMPEG_BIN=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg [ -n "$FFMPEG_BIN" ] && FFMPEG_OPTS="-ffmpeg $FFMPEG_BIN" # ffprobe #FFPROBE_BIN=$(which ffprobe) FFPROBE_BIN=/usr/local/bin/ffprobe [ -n "$FFPROBE_BIN" ] && FFPROBE_OPTS="-ffprobe $FFPROBE_BIN" After installing the "new" emby server version it seems that emby-server.sh is missing and i can't find it anywhere on the system. How to direct emby to the right path for ffmpeg and ffprobe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The new start script is in /usr/bin/emby-sever, it will take care of everything. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeug 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just saw this thread. Right now I am running Emby Server on my Arch Linux Raspberry Pi. I am experiencing some performance issues.

frankp 1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can't seem to get the transcoding to work. Installed it like djonnie instructed and did edit the emby-server file in /usr/bin/emby-server But when i start a show of movie, nothing happens. Tried it through the webpage and on the emby-app on samsung smart TV. It did work with an older version of emby-server, so i'm a bit lost now.

EsDeeEm 1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm not a "seasoned" Linux user, and have been working my way through the posts. Is there a compiled version of how to install the emby server on Raspbian? I would like to move emby from my Windows media center to the Pi to liberate memory and resources.

hurricanehrndz 149 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 To be honest, there is a lot of room for improvement on the documentation front on how to install emby on raspbian. This is something that is on my list of things to do, unfortunately my list is long. From my private conversations with individuals here are my suggestions. Use our 14.04 repo for emby and imagemagick. In terms of ffmpeg people seem to compile it themselves and I have no clue why, ffmpeg is available in the jessie backports and is also available on debian multimedia. That being said if your are using raspbian please ensure you are using the jessie version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankp 1 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 A how to is really easy. I got emby-server up and running like this: #install emby-server wget -qO - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:emby/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/xUbuntu_14.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby-server.list" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install emby-server I will go and try the already available ffmpeg. Maybe that wil work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
