EsDeeEm 1 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I have backed the Pine64 Kickstarter and want to deploy it as an Emby server as soon as it arrives. I tried to do it on a Raspberry Pi, but the memory seems to be insufficient to run properly. So I ordered the heaviest Pine they had. It can run Ubuntu Snappy, so I would presume it will run Emby server on that platform. Did I guess right?
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I backed it as well. Not for server purposes. I think it will make a decent client with the 2GB model. While I wouldn't use it for a server you can try it. I don't think it will be able to transcode reliably. If none of your content needs transcoding, then it can most likely work. One of the problems with transcoding will be the inherently slow media the OS will be on. SD Cards aren't really performers. The device lacks SATA connections and only USB2 for additional drives. You also might be limited in networking with a single ethernet port. Edited February 5, 2016 by Koleckai Silvestri 1
EsDeeEm 1 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for the input! Concerning storage I don't have a problem, as all movies are stored on a Syno. On the Pi, it seemed that the indexing was the biggest problem. As good as Emby is, it is still a big memory gulper. Currently the server is running on my windows mediacenter, but takes a huge chunk out of the available memory. That's why I would like to separate it form that.

EsDeeEm 1 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks, I'm looking forward to it :-)
curiousgally 0 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 There is no mono for armv8 yet, once there is we will try and build the packages for it. Â Hi i have my pine 64 shipped and currently installed ubuntu on it. I can get started with emby server install if you have the mono ready that I can use. Â Thanks.
curiousgally 0 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I got plex running on my pine with the help of this:Â http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=25&pid=7992#pid7992 Performance has been good so far. I would prefer emby instead. If somebody can help me as to where to start from, I can contribute some time to get this thing working on the pine. Â Thanks.
curiousgally 0 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I'm running it on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial image. More details here:Â http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=376&pid=2827#pid2827
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Then you can install mono from ubuntu's repos if available and download the mono build from github releases. See how it goes and let us know.
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Just got charged for my second Pine64 board and few dozen accessories. Hopefully, both of them will be here soon. However, I am not going to attempt to run the server on them. One will have Remix installed on it and I will use it as a client. It wouldn't be powerful enough to replace my Emby Server even with the 2 GB models that I ordered. They certainly wouldn't be able to transcode 4-5 HD videos at a time. The other board is for IOT and smart home control. It will be running OpenHab.
EsDeeEm 1 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 Has anyone made any progress on this until now?
Luke 39009 Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Has anyone made any progress on this until now? Â Have you tried the ubuntu package?
EsDeeEm 1 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 I've just bumped into a bug with the eth0 port. Download is virtually impossible at the moment. Trying to fetch the ethtool package to throttle down the ethernet port. After that I can really start experimenting with the packages. Installed the latest Ubuntu build from Longsleep...
EsDeeEm 1 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) It is working!!!  At the moment, the server is scanning the shares... As soon that is done, I will test streaming and transcoding...  Here's what I've done: Install Longsleep Ubuntu 16.04 image (https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/longsleep/pine64-images/ubuntu/) There is a bug in the distro's core! The ethernet driver seems to have problems with variable speeds. It needs to be forced in 100Mbit with ethtool. I downloaded the deb file and installed it from a USB, as the network connection is virtually unusable. Run the following ethtool command: sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 autoneg off installed nano for easy editing (I hate vi!) Followed the instructions for installing Emby Server and installed the version for xUbuntu 15.10 edited fstab to mount my network shares on my Synology Started Emby Server, restored my settings with the backup plugin and... PRESTO! Edited June 30, 2016 by EsDeeEm
Luke 39009 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 The emby server version is on the front page of the emby server dashboard.

EsDeeEm 1 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 I've just seen a thread about upgrading mono. What package do I need to install?
Luke 39009 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I don't know what package for mono but I'd be curious about our server beta package and how that does. thanks.

curiousgally 0 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Nevermind, looks like i need to install mono, sqlite etc..will update how it goes. Thanks.
curiousgally 0 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Should i install imagemagik as mentioned in the steps for manual..or not necessary. After I installed mono, emby server installation succeeded without any issues. It didn't complain about sqllite3 or imagemagik. Edited October 10, 2016 by curiousgally
