[derrabe 0]

A few times I have not had the app store version installed for about 2 weeks now trying to back door the newest version in

Still getting the unable to connect messages after reboot

But you can get to the tnas admin panel on port 8181 just fine correct?

Yup I renamed the tar.xz to just make it easier to type the commands

[zachattack83 3]

Ok, I think i see your problem

 

When you ssh in as root, before you install the emby, type cd /. Then run the command to extract and then start the service.

[zachattack83 3]

cd /
tar -xf ~/emby-server-terramaster_4.2.1.0_x86_64.tar.xz
service emby-server start

[derrabe 0]

cd /

tar -xf ~/emby-server-terramaster_4.2.1.0_x86_64.tar.xz

service emby-server start

Well this time it took longer to install but still getting the unable to connect message

 

gonna try to reboot

Does it give you an error message in ssh when you try to start the service?

nope just the next line almost instantly

[zachattack83 3]

OK, so its starting up the service.

Can you control f5 on your browser to clear the cache or wahtever that does? gives you a fresh refresh on the page you're trying to load.

Maybe go back to page one of this forum and run the uninstall commands, and then start from scratch? also, I had originally extracted on the /root/ directory too, and I deleted those files out of there with winspc.

Maybe once you uninstall, and restart, then try a reinstall. maybe some leftovers in there causing some issues.

told me I donthave a group called emby on the last step

[zachattack83 3]

that should be fine, thats the last command, just to delete a user group. if its not there, shouldn't be an issue. (shouldn't be)

nope still no dice, I copied the file to the /root directory and ran it again and started the service still unable to connect

[zachattack83 3]

I think I am out of ideas! hopefully someone from emby picks up on this and can offer you some advice. Thats about all I have

well hmm  I might have been running the start command wrong with a underscore instead of the dash becuase now I am getting a new error when I tried that.

 

adduser: unknown group emby

chown: unknown user/group emby:emby

start-stop-daemon: group 'emby' not found

 

am i supposed to be putting the file in root folder or / <root>

Put the file in the /root/ directory, but run the install from the cd /

Ok yup still getting this error when i try to start the service now.

 

adduser: unknown group emby

chown: unknown user/group emby:emby

start-stop-daemon: group 'emby' not found

[zachattack83 3]

But you got no errors when you installed it?

nope I just tried to manually add the emby group and rerun and now I get this

 

adduser: no uids left

chown: unknown user/group emby:emby

start-stop-daemon: user 'emby' not found

[zachattack83 3]

Thats very weird. I did not have to add any user groups.

Ok, how about we do this.

Uninstall through the command line, then restart.

Install the app from the app store. And see if it works. If so, Uninstall, and then restart.

Run the install again from the command line.

Start service.

Lets see if that works out any of the bugs.
