SirBen 0 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Hey guys, I just installed emby-theater using the .deb file on a fresh Raspbian (headless) installation on my pi 4... But when I try to launch it I get the following messages (see images attached) It makes no difference wether I try via ssh or on pi itself I searched the community but no luck! Please help! Thanks in advance EDIT: first thing was a headless issue for chrome, fixed by simply using the --no-sandbox tag (Speicherzugriffsfehler means memory or storage access failure) Edited February 6, 2021 by SirBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfan6415 17 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I just wanted to say that i was running 3.0.14 on ubuntu 20.4 on an 8th generation intel i3 nuc. I was having all kinds of problems getting 4k hevc playback to work with hardware acceleration. The files would sort of play with HA turned off but were dropping frames. With HA turned on the hardware decoder was working but the video was super slow and out of sync with the audio. I upgraded ubuntu to 20.10 and all of these problems have gone away and it just now works with default settings of auto and auto(copy back). HA is being turned on and the files are playing perfectly from my network share. Just wanted to post in case others come across this and have the issue and are willing to upgrade to 20.10.

It could be because of HWE kernel which was not available in 20.04 but supposedly is now available in 20.04.2 LTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an install from 20.4.1 that if anything would have only been upgraded to 20.4.2 so it definitely didn't have the HWE kernal then. That explains it.

MostlyBroken 0 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hi, Giving this ago on a rpi4 - I'm having trouble with laggy ui and dropping frames during playback - even during SD 25fps content. I've tried upping the clock speed from default to 2ghz, and the gpu frequency to 750mhz - however this hasn't really improved anything. Has anyone else seen / resolved this before? Thanks Edited March 22, 2021 by MostlyBroken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CivBase 2 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Impeccable timing! I removed 3.0.14 and installed the arm64 build for 3.0.15. The window is now smaller at startup and doesn't force itself into the foreground. I can even resize it. It also no longer shows the electron warning about allowRendererProcessReuse. Unfortunately, it's still just an empty black box for me. Is the content on the first page loaded dynamically? Is there a way to open the dev tools to check for JavaScript errors?

Yea if you locate the main.js file in the installation, there's two switches at the top of the file that you can set to true. They are both named starting with enableDevTools.

Gaspardthebest 0 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Hello, For my case under linux, I also have the same problem under windows. It seems that this is the decoding which is not supported by emby theater on my machine. It is a nuc8 with gpu intel iris 655. Besides, no video can be played even in a browser. I tried with and without transcoding, and playing with the emby theater video options, nothing working.

Guest worthington_j Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I apologize in advanced if this has already been discussed. I'm running Emby Theater for Linux (Armhf) on a RaspberryPi 4. I'm seeing issues with CEC and I can't figure out the cause or the fix. Many times after a complete shutdown the first time I go into Emby Theater CEC works great. If I close Emby Theater and re-launch the application some of the buttons such as the back button do not work on the remote. Sometimes I have found that going into my profile and changing the CEC setting back to automatic or the HDMI port will resolve the issue but not always. It doesn't seem to matter which way I change the value as in automatic or the port number itself. Thoughts or ideas on what to troubleshoot or a fix.
