Why? One of the best things about Linux is not being constrained like other ecosystems. Exactly, a Appimage or Flatpak would be great for both the server and the theater.

Azor 14 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Well, apparently the AppImage has the same issues as Fedora (but on all platforms), it never loads the video (infinite spinning circle). Works fine with external player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no network connection then raspi-config is launched allowing users to connect to a network. Hi all, Newbie to EMBY here, just progressing over form PLEX. (really impressed so far with Emby, much more control offered than with Plex, currently running both on an Ubuntu server while I transition). I have a Raspberry Pi 3 in use for my home cinema room projector, that used to run RasPlex client player, but sadly this is now depreciated / un-supported, hence one of my reasons for the move to Emby. I downloaded the above Raspberry Pi zip file to my Linux Mint PC, burnt the .iso to the Pi's memory card, and started it up (connected by Ethernet). Problem: It did not launch into Emby theatre as expected, instead I get the Debian10 login screen, with no idea on where to find the default username and password - ie: I'm now a bit suck.. Any guidance on how to find the Debian10 username and password for this image would be greatly appreciated, and also would like to have it confirmed that this is the correct download? Once I'm logged in, I assume I follow the auto start guidance as detailed in the opening post?: Quote Auto-Start Locate the autostart file: ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart If LXDE-pi is missing then copy it from: /etc/xdg/lxsession/ Add this line to the end of the autostart file: @emby-theater Many thanks, Scott.

embyuser98 0 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Im trying to use Emby theatre in arch linux. I installed it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emby-theater-bin/. It builds fine but when I launch ET it only shows a black screen! Am I missing something (even tried building it without AUR-helper)? Also tried the appimage mentioned a few posts ago with the same result.

Hi, we're not the ones packaging that, so I don't have answers for you, but in the near future we're hoping to start producing packages for all of the same platforms that we do for the server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azor 14 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 HI @Luke, do you have a build process for the current releases. It doesn't seem to work (tested on Ubuntu 20.04, and Fedora 32) with the current codebase while doing the following : git clone https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron.git de emby-theater-electron npm install npm start The Electron app starts, but playback doesn't work (black screen), am I missing something ? The .deb from the release works however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have moved quickly lately and we just haven't documented it yet. I'll add it to the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I see where you mention hoping to get streamlined across distros and such, just thought I'd ask as I just moved from Arch to Ubuntu and am modifying my restore-data script.

You need to have libmpv as the video output device, not gpu. hwdec is supported using libmpv you just need to have the correct va library's installed for your video card. I have the same problem.

I keep saying I did since my first reply. When you guys say "instructions" it kinda implies there was more to do than running a sudo apt install and this is why I was confused. To conclude, even though I find it weird since elementaryOS is basically ubuntu, what Luke said is probably correct : 6 hours ago, Luke said: Ok we haven't tested yet with elementaryos. There could be an issue with that. Anyway, thank you both for answering me. I'll just use my browser to stream it's no big deal.
