Raspberry Pi

[EsDeeEm 1]

Thanks! If I'm correct, Jessie is distributed through the NOOB image, isn't it?

[frankp 1]

Yes, or just download the full image and put it on a SD-card.

Transcoding seems to be a problem for the RPI2. Installed ffmpeg through the jessie backport.

 

Managed to get some video running through the web app, but no video in emby theater.

The video in the web client is lagging like crazy, so unwatchable.

 

Maybe someone can see somthing in the logs what's happening, but i'm about to give up on emby-server on the raspberry pi 2.

frankp,

 

There is no way the RPI2 will ever have enough juice to transcode. The trick to getting emby-server working on RPI2 or any RPI is to have transcoding disabled as much as possible. If you would like some guidance on this, please see the following thread:

http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/28419-emby-docker-image-for-arm-armhf-arch-mini-computers-raspeberry-pi2-cubietruck-odroid-etc/

[frankp 1]

That's a bummer.

 

I need the transcoding because i also run media on my Samsung Smart TV.

Direct play through the mediaserver of my synology nas would be the answer, but no idea if that's ever gonna happen.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Are you certain, I would check what the TV supports and adjust the media profiles. That is how most users accomplish supporting their tvs from an RPI.

[frankp 1]

Yes, i already asked in the Samsung-app board http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/27326-direct-stream-on-es5500/

I think your nas supports smb sharing

 

use this with path substitution and mb theater won't ask the server for transcoding

[frankp 1]

According to the developer of the Samsung Smart TV Emby app, the app doesn't support direct play but always wants to use decoding.

 

Path substitution does work with my mediaplayer with Kodi.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Maybe a roku would be a good investment.

[frankp 1]

The problem is that the Pi was already an investment because emby isn't available for my Synology NAS (DS213+).

I think i just gonna wait untill it becomes available for my NAS or I have the money to replace my NAS.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Another option is to use the pi 2 play the videos as well. Stick kodi on it.

Once the current beta goes stable, the web client with the Chrome browser will be a very robust choice that won't require much transcoding. See the blog post to learn more.

Which package did you install?

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 mono-runtime mediainfo libsqlite3-dev imagemagick-6.q8 libmagickwand-6.q8-2 libmagickcore-6.q8-2
sudo apt-get install emby-server

 

then this http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/28188-massive-update-for-debian-and-ubuntu/?hl=%2Bdebian+%2Bmassive+%2Bupdate

 

i have wipe my unbuntu-mate install,

install openmediavault for raspberry pi

install emby plugins

that work.

 

but i would have prefer to have emby directly on ubuntu-mate, but i cant scan my library at all without having to reboot emby

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Interesting, there was an issue with an intermediate release. That was addressed by Luke sometime after your original post. The instructions that ask you to install libmagick are out dated. A simple apt-get install emby-server should be sufficient. Currently I would recommend using the latest beta. The issue you encountered could have also been due to the fact that although we had fixed the issue obs does take some time to get the arm builds done, up to 2 days.

I'm running osmc on a Pi2 (installed with latest osmc image). osmc comes with mono version 3.2.8. I can't get rid of this version, Emby needs version 4. After uninstalling mono and installing mono-complete the system installs version 3.2.8 again. 

 

I've looked here to upgrade the mono package:

What I'm doing wrong?

Hello 

 

I've followed the instruction on a fresh jessie-lite and everything seems to work fine.

I can start the service with sudo service emby-server start  and works fine. Only problem is when i reboot the system the service doesn't autostart.

How can i fix this?

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Systemlctl enable emby-server

Thanx that solved it

I'm getting a whole host of ffprope errors on Raspbian, with ffmpeg installed from deb-multimedia.

 

 

2016-01-13 12:12:16.6493 Error MediaEncoder: ffmpeg image extraction failed for file:"(.mkv file)"

2016-01-13 12:12:16.6499 Error MediaEncoder: I-frame image extraction failed, will attempt standard way. Input: file:"(same .mkv file)"

2016-01-13 12:12:42.5052 Info MediaEncoder: Killing ffmpeg process

 

Should I try another source for getting ffmpeg? (Attached the log file anyway)

[Luke 37065]

yea it looks like it doesn't like the version we're providing, for some reason.

[hurricanehrndz 149]

I don't think it's our version. He is using one installed on his system. I think he should perhaps try our version

This afternoon I took a fresh SD micro card, installed Raspbian Jessie and followed these steps to install Emby:

 

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
sudo systemctl enable emby-server
 

Installation was smooth, didn't take very long and in the end I had Emby running. Great!

 

But now I'm running in the same issues as posted by me in http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/27026-raspberry-pi/&do=findComment&comment=263356. FFMpeg is not functioning, so I'm afraid there's still something wrong.

 

So unfortunately in the end I switched back to my old SD card and I'm running Jessie with my self compiled ffmpeg version.
