Emby Theater for Linux

Recommended Posts

Packages are updated in the first post. When you select the RPI copy gpu option, it will use mmal, which supports deinterlacing. 

 

Have fun.

Yes the procedure is in the first post.

I did try on a virtual machine and got a error.

I use mini and did not install anything.

I got a error but I'll install it on real one.

 

It could be great to have a image like libreelec. [emoji4]Just a thought

Does mpv need to installed separately? I just finished using this .deb on a clean install of raspbian and tried to run emby, but couldn't show any Live TV or movies. I looked a bit deeper and it doesn't look as if mpv player was installed. Thanks.

I tried it and deinterlacing still not working on h264 channels. Also when you play a video it starts for a second and then the screen goes blank for about 4 seconds and then video starts again. I am really not having luck with MPV can't use it on the pi and can't use it on my intel htpc because of the deinterlace issues.

We need to make this more clear but make sure to select the rpi-copy back option as that's the only one that supports deinterlacing.

Is raspian lite ok or does this require the desktop install?

You can start from Raspbian Lite if you like, but it needs X and at least a Window manager. If you don’t want to set all this up choose the desktop image.

As ellnic said but it is easier to just install the full version. I just installed the fresh copy of raspbian but it is not working it is just displaying a spinning circle.

 

 
When I go to the mpv directory and type ./mpv I get the following
 
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/emby-theater/resources/app/bin $ ./mpv
./mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/emby-theater/resources/app/bin $ 
 
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/emby-theater/resources/app/bin $ ldconfig -p | grep libGLESv2

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/emby-theater/resources/app/bin $ 
 
 
This gets rid of the error but video doesn't play only audio. 
 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libEGL.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so
 
 
Tried running mpv from command line still only audio no video this is the error

Any idea's with the blank screen for video?

@@ebike, I had the same issue with blank screen for video and only sound when i tried the Emby Theater x86 deb package on Lubuntu 18.04 64 bits. I am using now Xubuntu 18.04 64 bits and I have not the issue anymore. Maybe give Xubuntu a try?

We now have an X64 version

@@Luke. Feedback about the Emby Theater X64 version deb package.

I have installed ET x64 version deb package on Lubuntu 18.04 and Xubuntu 18.04 (x64 both) on a Intel NUC (NUC7i5BNK). I do not know why, but I had problems to play video on Lubuntu (blank screen for video and only sound), but with the Xubuntu I do not have this issue. I am going to survey this issue.

 

Does mpv need to installed separately?

Mpv is a dependency with the Emby Theater package so the mpv package are installed from the Ubuntu repository.

hts@nucpc01:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ dpkg -s mpv
Package: mpv
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: video
Installed-Size: 2241
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>

The mpv version are a little outdated, but VA API is supported which I need on this Intel nuc.

hts@nucpc01:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ mpv --version
mpv 0.27.2 (C) 2000-2017 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects
hts@nucpc01:~$ mpv --vo=help
Available video outputs:
  opengl         : Extended OpenGL Renderer
  vdpau          : VDPAU with X11
  wayland        : Wayland SHM video output
  xv             : X11/Xv
  sdl            : SDL 2.0 Renderer
  vaapi          : VA API with X11
  x11            : X11 (slow, old crap)
  null           : Null video output
  image          : Write video frames to image files
  tct            : true-color terminals
  caca           : libcaca
  drm            : Direct Rendering Manager

Mpv is easy to upgrade using this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/mpv-tests if you want to do that.

With Xubuntu 18.04 on this Intel Nuc Emby Theater are function great. Thanks for the effort.

Well, I downloaded the file as directed in the 1st post, it saved in /home/pi/Downloads folder, I tried to run the command exactly as written sudo apt install ./emby-theater_3.0.1_armhf.deb and get an unsupported file error. Changed the command to read sudo apt install /home/pi/Downloads/emby-theater_3.0.1_armhf.deb and it installs but still doesn't play anything.

 

When I run /etc/apt/sources.list.d$ dpkg -s mpv, I get a bash error saying No such file or directory. I get same error message when I run /etc/apt/sources.list.d$ mpv --version. So it doesn't look like mpv is being installed at all.

 

Any ideas?

I have the same error.

 

I installed with right click on the package and click on packet install.

Is this also possible?

 

But i am not able to play any video. I have only a spinning circle.

After some minutes there is an playback error.... no compatible streams....

I'm sorry, but I followed the instructions exactly, as I said in post #393. I'm not sure what else I could do...

As I have posted above mpv version included doesn't work on the pi. 

 

Try uninstalling your current version of mpv first, then run the install instructions again.

Ok, I spoke too soon saying that it was all working fine, I started to get random freezes in the middle of watching something. So I started from scratch again with a clean raspbian install but this time as well as the regular update&upgrade commands, I performed a dist-upgrade. Then I continued with the instructions in the first post and this time everything seemed to install on its own. I've used ir-keytable to get my remote working and so far all seems good. I'll keep an eye on it just to make sure it stays that way.

The error you posted was due to low gpu memory (they didn't restart after install). rpi-update fixes the shared library error.
