Mono to Dotnet Upgrade Media Issues - Ubuntu 16.04

[ShadowBlade72 22]

Upgrading using the new packages went fine. The issues came after the update completed.

 

I figured out one of the issues with HTTPS which I outlined here, so I won't rehash that: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50012-emby-server-for-net-core/&do=findComment&comment=507437

 

I found that my library was showing up with a bunch of pictures and media apparently missing.

I decided to try and run a library scan to see if it could fix itself, but ended up worse off. Now nothing shows and the scan completed after 3 seconds. Subsequent scans also finish immediately with no files showing up. I tried uninstalling the "Auto Box Sets" plugin thinking maybe that was causing issues, but nothing changed.

Attached are logs from the upgrade and various browsing of the dashboard to see if I could get it to throw errors to point me in the right direction.

I would try removing and readding the libraries that are doing that. thanks.

I'm trying not to lose my libraries if at all possible. I had to manually identify several items in my library (uploading images, descriptions, etc). I'm hoping to find a way to get from Mono to Dotnet without losing everything, because re-inputting all that information is going to be a pain in the ass honestly.

 

I'm assuming that deleting the libraries and re-adding them won't just seamlessly transfer everything over? It'll literally have to reidentify/recreate everything?

Potential solution discovered. Awaiting confirmation from other Ubuntu/Linux users:

Is there a newb guide to make the jump from Mono to .net??

I know very little about Linux.

Currently using Emby on Quickbox.

Would like to try this on my test server before breaking my good machine and making the family mad at me yet again.

@@smerrikin,

 

Considering your experience with Linux, I'd hold out until we can work with Luke to iron out a solution for the upgrade. I don't want to walk you through a patchwork process to get upgraded if it's going to cause you issues in the future.

 

If you're dead set on pushing forward though, the process is relatively painless. If the need arises, I'll script up something to help people move over, but for now, the steps are below.

wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.36.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.36.0_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.2.36.0_amd64.deb

systemctl stop emby-server

mv /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby-server

vi /etc/emby-server.conf
   EMBY_PROGRAMDATA=/var/lib/emby-server

systemctl start emby-server

Awesome. Thanks @@ShadowBlade72

 

Gonna try that on my play server where it's just me. 

Family is on the other server but right now they are identical. 

 

and.....it's broken. HA. HAHA. Seemed to have gone OK but cannot restart the service. 

Oh well. Will play with it again tomorrow.
