daldana 47 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Here's one fix for that problem; First, add the link in the page https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/gcc-9-base/download to /etc/apt/sources.list Second, run apt --fix-broken install without any package names. Reboot for good measure and re-try the installation of your package. @Luke, thoughts? Will this break anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that package doesn't exist on raspbian, and possibly debian, but you most likely already have the file it provides, you may safely remove it from the apt-get install line.

alucryd 214 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 7 hours ago, OurfamilySpot said: The dpkg fails on dependencies if it isn’t installed Yeah, but you can still give it a go, it still installs fine. I personally didn't have a really great experience on my rpi3, the UI lags a lot, and video playback really struggles with anything above 480p, hopefully you have a better experience, and share the secret sauce you used. I tried with the vc4-fkms-driver and 128m of gpu_mem, also tried the full kms driver, vc4-kms-driver, but I didn't get any sound, I read that with the full kms driver audio cards are swapped and it doesn't output to HDMI by default, need to find out how to revert that. I'll work on a deb that won't fail to install if libgcc-s1 doesn't exist, the hard part is that it is required on Ubuntu and isn't installed by default (at least in my VM it wasn't). On Debian the package doesn't exist at all and the file is there by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daldana 47 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was able to get HMDI audio working with the following change in /boot/config.txt (credit to @Vader in StackExchange forum) and then selecting the second choice for audio in raspi-config (in my case it was MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0). # uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI.

Davey's 12 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) A few weeks back I bought a Raspberry 4B 8gb Assuming EMBY Theater (client) would work. Now I see that there are several packages (and/or Distro's?) The one I've got a variant of Debian does not (yet) work very well in terms of network bandwidth. Had to downgrade the quality to 480p to get it to play back somewhat acceptable. Which package runs the most stable now? what would you advise?

starfury 3 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 OK, I'm totally stuck. I've installed Emby Theater on a brand new Pi 4 and SD card using the link and instructions in the first post. All I get is a black screen with a cursor in the middle. This happens on both my computer monitor (4k) and TV (also 4k). I even left it running on the TV for nearly an hour in case it was just a matter of Theater doing some first-run stuff but to no avail, the Pi went to sleep after some period of time. I have also tried installing Raspbian and then Theater as described in the second part of the first post, with a similar result. Raspbian boots into the GUI and when run (either from the command line window or the GUI menu item) Emby Theater appears as a black window in the middle of the screen and nothing else happens. I've looked through this thread but haven't found anything that fixes the problem. I have no idea how to make this work or where the log files are that might give me a clue. I did find a post where Luke explains how to turn the debug mode on, but I can't find that again. Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which package runs the most stable now? what would you advise? New packages only include DEBs for now, but RPMs, Flatpaks and Snaps are coming. The DEB is undergoing some rework, it will probably be the easiest to use since most people probably have raspbian on their pi. I still need to find a way to extract more performance out of it, right now electron, and possibly my unoptimized usage of mpv is bringing the device to its knees (granted I only have a 1GB rpi3).

Electron requires a working opengl stack. We will have complete instructions available once I figure them out myself. 4 hours ago, OurfamilySpot said: Curious if you made any progress... Yes, I relaxed the deb dependencies so it won't complain anymore. But that means some systems might be missing libs, we will have to account for that possibility some other way. We'll probably have new packages available for testing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey's 12 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I tried another time now with Raspberry Pi Image https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron/releases/download/3.0.15/emby-theater-rpi_3.0.15.zip -Using PI Imager to write a SD -Boot up -Enter WIFI Credentials And it works for me!

Davey's 12 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 What happens every now and then is that the screen falls away, it will come back but sometimes it is a bit too much..

We will have complete instructions available once I figure them out myself. I tried several different ones, all with the same result: cursor in the middle of a black screen. I started with a fresh install from the new download page that Luke pointed to a couple of posts above. The only changes from the defaults were to enable ssh (so I don't have to keep switching keyboards), set the keymap to match my US layout, and set the audio output to the 3.5mm jack (in case the fact that my monitor has no speakers was causing an issue). The default config.txt contained: [pi4] # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2 I then tried dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d and dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 and lastly dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 gpu_mem=256 all with the same result. I'm not sure if these are the correct ones? The other vc4* file names make them appear to be for the little touchscreens you can buy for a Pi. Lastly, I tried sudo raspi-update sudo apt -y dist-upgrade per the first post in this thread, rebooting after each command. It should be noted that emby-theater appears to be running, just the display is not working correctly. Logging in via SSH and running "top" shows an emby-theater process.

Ptolemaeus 2 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm using the flatpak on Fedora. x264 is fine. HEVC (whether 1080p or 4k) shows the same blue screen found in Davey's post, but audio works fine. The dashboard thinks it's direct playing, but it's a solid blue screen.

Der R 3 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thanks for the new files! I've only had the time to do a cursory test. But the flatpak file seems to work fine, even with HEVC, on my up-to-date Fedora 34. I'm running x11, mind you, since I have an NVIDIA graphics card. But there's a problem with the install of the rpm file. I get an error: Transaction test error: file /usr/lib/.build-id/35/526e93ad4fcac4115b1aade95a2b68c52160e0 from install of emby-theater-3.0.15-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package emby-server-4.7.0.12-1.x86_64 My version of Emby Server comes from the rpm package.

daldana 47 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just an informational post. So after installing 3.0.15 on my Pi 3(1GB) over a month ago and using it for Live TV (mostly), I started playing around with different mpv.conf settings. One reason I started changing conf settings was because the "Video Output" dropdown in Emby's settings would not honor the gpu config, it would always go to libmpv. Again, it's pretty good and uses V4l2m2m hardware acceleration, but the video is sooo much smoother when I set the vo=gpu flag in mpv.conf since I'm able to then set the profile=gpu-hq flag. The only problem with that setting is that the osd will not appear, but keyboard commands still work and the mpv log shows the same hw acceleration using V4l2m2m. Looking at the package versions on the Pi, mpv is 0.29 and ffmpeg is 4.16. Could the problem with the osd be that ffmpeg is too old? I understand ver. 4.3 might work better, any thoughts?

Hi, you may want to try installing it again as all of our Theater packages have been rebuilt, except for the dedicated Pi image, and a revamp of that will also be coming in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
