Recommended Posts

New beta packages are available on our Open Build Service page:

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aemby&package=emby-server-beta

Important: This is a beta package and should be used for testing only. Once this goes stable we’ll have separate stable packages.

Other Linux Package Improvements

We’ll have a separate post about this, but our linux packages are seeing a lot of improvements as well. Notably:

  • Added support for openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap
  • Beta and Dev releases are now using the package embymagick for ImageMagick libraries. embymagick does not get installed as a system library, so there should no longer be conflicts with distribution releases of ImageMagick.
  • New restart wrapper script, in order to alleviate some of the issues posted by users.
  • Sudoers file has been updated, restart permission have been moved to the group emby rather than the user emby.
  • Emby-Server start wrapper script ensures user running emby-server is part of emby group, and thus are granted restart permission.
  • Support RPI 1 thanks to openSUSE ARM factory. Please see the following: https://en.opensuse….org/Portal:ARM
  • AARCH64 will be supported as soon as there is a release from the mono team.
  • Used mono aot (ahead of time compiler) to hopefully increase performance.
  • Debian maintainer post install script are set to ignore home of user emby, use default configuration file and etc conf file rather than /etc/passwd to determine were user settings should be kept.

Special thanks goes to fc7, hurricanehrndz and all their awesome work and to any and all users who have taken the time to report issues and have had the patience to work with us as we get them addressed.
Docker users please stay tuned for a major update that is under works. There will also be more clear documentation for installing on the RPI and other arm devices. In terms of ARM support, on Debian distro we only support armv7l and those binaries can be found in our xUbuntu_14.04 repo.
