Hi all, I have a RPI2 board for the last 2 days, and i installed Emby server on raspbian, but i have a problem when i try to play any video.

 

The player on my android tablet show an error on the query and stops.

 

I already recompile ffmpeg, but i cant make it works

 

What else can be, im just about to try with kodi, there are 3 different specialized distros with kodi but i would preffer to stay in emby, i like it, i have premium account

 

 

 

some suggestions?

hi Luke

 

ok, I have been using Emby server on windows for a month, i loved it, but now i want to build a smaller (and cheaper) system so i got a rpi2

 

i installed on raspbian following the debian installation  procedure and no problem with it but, when i try to play any video it gives me an error

 

here are the screenshots of brower playing and android playing error and also the complete logs, i dont really know wich one is the one you want

 

 

PD: embylogs.txt file is in fact a rar file but i couldnt upload it in that format

it contains several logs that i found on the log folder

well, kodi and plex are working perfect on raspberry pi 2, with their own OS, really nice, maybe next step for emby?

 

meanwhile, somebody knows how to fix this, i want to stay on this platform

Did you include x264 when compiling ffmpeg?

 

This is the procedure to compile ffmpeg for the PI 2:

 

cd /usr/src

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264

cd x264

sudo ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --enable-static --disable-opencl

sudo make

sudo make install

 

git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg

sudo ./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-libx264

sudo make

sudo make install

 

 

Then don't forget to edit /usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh

 

change the lines:

 

# 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"

 

Then it should work.

sorry if i do stupid question but linux is not my strength

 

​if i want to start emby-server automatically on startup

 

​i already tried with:

  • sudo update-rc.d emby-server defaults
  • editing /etc/rc.local and adding: sh /usr/bin/emby-server echo 'Emby Server Started!'

neither of both worked

 

then i used

  • editing /etc/rc.local and adding: sh /usr/bin/emby-server start echo 'Emby Server Started!'
     

and it didnt works neither :(

 

 

so, how i can set embyserver to start automatically on startup

 

thanks

Not sure if this is your problem, but you need to re-run the library scan after restarting the service, or you'll have an empty library.

 

The easiest way is to add an "On application startup" trigger to the "Scan media library" scheduled task.

it should be done everytime it starts?
