kodibart 0 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I know the existence of the emby server addon that can be installed directly from within kodi but this version is a bit dated (3.2.17) and therefore I would like to know if I can install always the latest emby server when they are released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The way LibreELEC is setup you do not have write access to the system folders so all changes need to be done through the addon. I just submitted a PR to update the addon to 3.2.26.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Emby Server should be updated to v3.2.26.0 LibreELEC repo now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mac 7 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Just wondering if this ever got updated? Â Most recent version is still showing as 3.2.17? Â I have this setup on a beelink box for mum and while it still works great i can't use the Android app on my phone as it says the server needs to be updated.

lexi81 0 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Any chance this addon could get updated to 3.2.40.0? Emby is working marvelous on an old Amlogic MX2 tv-box running Libreelec 8, it is just a g18ref board but Emby is way faster than expected. The library web interface is very responsive, metadata download is fast as well. Scanning the library using mounted nfs shares worked flawless too. Love it!  To bad my android phone can't connect using the app due to the server version. Edited November 28, 2017 by lexi81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can't you just use Docker? See this response here: Â https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50012-emby-server-for-net-core/?p=514657 Â Along with the first post of that thread. Keep in mind, it's just a test Docker image right now. Make sure to read the first post fully if you want to try it. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I can look at updating the addon this week.  @@Luke is 3.2.40 on linux still using mono and imagemagick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the linux kernel is too old. Overlayfs needs at least 3.18 something, I'm on 3.10..... Â Would it be possible to update the package through commandline? By getting the emby.mono.zip package release at github? Edited November 28, 2017 by lexi81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheemer 42 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Is it possible to get this addon updated to the latest version? Â I tried docker and nothing works on Libreelec 9 so this seems to be my only option. Â It's strange how the plugin for sonarr will update itself but this plugin can't. there's no way to have the updates work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plugin is community contributed, and if a community member would like to pitch in to add automatic updates i think that would be neat!

Wheemer 42 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Darn I really need to taking some programming courses... This is the last step to a stand alone media PC I'm playing around with. I just can't call it done with Emby Server screaming for an update all the time.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have not had the time to looking into updating the addon. Just so you are clear the Kodi addon has no affiliation with Emby and is maintained by LibreELEC contributors. Due to some dependency requirements that aren't being met anymore I do not have the knowledge to update it myself. Try contacting awiouy on the LibreELEC forums to see if he has time to update the addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 you might be able to grab our mono zip from the latest release and just extract it over your current installation: Â https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/latest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 LibreELEC's system partition is read only. You would need to use squashfs to make any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkss12 296 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 That worked, thanks Luke! Can you tell me how you was able to do it??   thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheemer 42 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 First thing I did was change the "userdata" share in the file \\libreelec\Configfiles\samba.conf  to this:  [Kodi]  path = /storage/.kodi  available = yes  browsable = yes  public = yes  writable = yes  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi  Reboot  Disable the emby addon.  Then I copied the contents (minus the .config files) of the downloaded Emby.Mono.zip into \\libreelec\Kodi\addons\service.emby\Emby.Mono  Enable the emby addon.  Then you'll see it's updated to the latest release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheemer 42 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Is it possible for emby to update itself in the mono version? Â I have other mono services running that seem to be updating fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This particular edition won't auto-update. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheemer 42 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 You mean the mono edition? because I believe the container addon can remain the same if only the mono version had the means. I have other addon services that stay the same version within kodi but actually still are able to update properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealc59 6 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello,   I know the question has already been discussed, but is it possible to update the addon to last version 3.2.70 ?  Or help noobs with a correct way to update it without breaking existing configuration ?  Thanks a lot :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Wheemer 42 Posted January 29, 2018 Solution Share Posted January 29, 2018 I posted instruction already in this thread on how to update it manually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
