playback is not working for clients web, chromecast, android

scenario:

  1. I re-built my jails on freenas 9.10 as the PBI update kept failing via the freenas GUI (still have the old jail which works fine)
  2. copied the contents of /var/db/emby-server to the new jail
  3. started emby without issue
  4. db upgrade and full library scan completed without issue (version update to 5931 from 5786)

the issue is now that all video media will not play in any client app (web, chromecast, android)

from what i can tell in the logs it appears to be a transcoding issue but that is all that i can understand myself

 

apologies for the size of the server logs..... debug on by the looks

Hi, your version of ffmpeg appears to be missing some required features. I suppose updating that is the first thing I would try to do

Shared object "libvorbisenc.so.2" not found, required by "libavcodec.so.56"

i tried updating ffmpeg using the instructions on http://emby.media/freebsd-server.html.

i got the same error in the web client, and the same error in the transcode logs.

The server logs appear to have the same stuff as what i have provided previously.

 

Any other thoughts?

I have it working again. I am not sure what the cause was but here is what i did.

 

  1. backed up the data in /var/db/emby-server/ directory
  2. deleted the Emby plugin via FreeNAS GUI
  3. install 5913 PBI into the jail
  4. started Emby plugin
  5. confirmed playback was functional
  6. updated the plugin via FreeNAS GUI
  7. Confirmed playback was still functional

That's really strange, and doesn't make sense to me but Josh might now. Changing Emby Server should't affect what ffmpeg libraries are installed. But I'm glad to hear you're having better results.

Who knows............. sometimes there is just no answer to the cause.

 

Now I am trying to get the media info for everything to refresh so that it doesn't transcode everything.
