Can't add media library folders

[Mochaka 0]

I just installed Emby on a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.04, did the wizard and everything. But i can't add any folders to the media library. I've tired different folders in the system, even a remote samba share but it still errors.

 

Here's the log

Hi, what's the path you're trying to add? I think I might see the issue. Thanks.

[Mochaka 0]

It's /mnt/nas/tv, but i've tried other folders too

[Mochaka 0]

Fixed the issue, was missing a couple of packages. I installed the beta package and it grabbed the packages it needed.

 

The following packages will be REMOVED:

  emby-server

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  emby-server-beta libembymagickcore-6.q8-2 libembymagickwand-6.q8-2 libfftw3-3 liblcms2-2 libwebp5

[Luke 39009]

is the server version the same?

[hurricanehrndz 149]

Nope they are not Luke, beta is version: emby-server-beta-3.0.5768.0.git945dd00.tar.gz and stable is 3.0.5781.4

[Luke 39009]

Ok, I've pushed a fix to master for this.

I ran into the same problem today and was trying to figure out why adding folders stopped working. I'm only using the emby-server package from the apt repository, did the binaries get rebuilt using the latest code instead of the stable release? I bring this up because I would expect that the emby-server package would track the last stable release which should not have had this bug and not the latest development code.

The bug was in the stable release. Unfortunately even though we try and be as careful as possible, some bugs just seep through our testing. 

[jstruebel 1]

No problem. I totally understand bugs getting through and into the release. It just sounded like from some of Luke's other posts that the bug had been introduced post release, so I was surprised that I ran into it. Has it been fixed in the apt repo release? If not when do you expect you'll be able to roll it in? It's not a rush, just wanting to plan.

It's out already, check the ubuntu thread many people are reporting success.
