[Raffy6250 0]

Hello !

 

I followed instructions here: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aemby&package=emby-server

from: https://emby.media/linux-server.html

 

And i get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Added mono repo with this link https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/mono

 

Still have:

This is getting better!

If you have not yet installed or used emby i would actually suggest using the newer .net emby. The install is amazingly simple.

Go to: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases

Download the appropriate file ( ubuntu is debian based )

if you want to use beta its: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.40.1/emby-server-deb_3.2.40.1_amd64.deb

the stable build is: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.40.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.40.0_amd64.deb

 

then install the package.

 

Command line examples would be:

cd ~

wget  https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.40.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.40.0_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.2.40.0_amd64.deb

 

That should setup the newer .net emby for you in virtually no time it uses a baked in ffmpeg and .net rather than mono.

the only real down side so far that i see on this is that there is no automated way to know there is an update, you have to periodically check the github page.

Wait i just noticed you said arm64, is this for a pi? I dont know there is a .net build for a pi right now.

Hey tdiguy,

 

Thank you for your response but yeah I'm using ARM, so it won't work. Not a pi, just a cheap VPS

[Raffy6250 0]

Looks like ARM is missing in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/xUbuntu_16.04/

Download instructions seem to be wrong then.

 

Will try to have it working with 14.04

I am not completely sure on this but i  think they are moving more towards using docker for arm devices. Not sure if hardware acceleration works with it or not but if you are going to use it primarily for pre-recorded media that will likely not need to be transcoded it will work fine.

I know i ran into a few issues installing when i was using my pi ( i have since moved on to a intel atom lol ) but i cant for the life of me remember what i did to fix it aside from adding some older repo's ( which ones i forget ). But there is a plethora of knowledge in this forum. 

You can search for my name as an author, maybe some of my shenanigans will help you.

[tdiguy 96]

Good news, Luke recently posted a new build for armf devices with the new .net builds. If this is built like the ubuntu version i am using installing will be a breeze, if you plan to use vaapi add emby to the video group.

Thanks.

Ok thank you guys, I'll give it a try

 

I managed to install 14.04 version but I had problems with the player and video quality so I gave up.

Please see how to report a problem and we'll be happy to help. thanks !

[tdiguy 96]

Your going to want to give one of the more recent builds a try 14.04 is quite old now. Take a look at the link i posted.

[Raffy6250 0]

Yes I was talking about the old installation. Only 14.04 worked  for ARM.

 

I will try .net build soon, thank you for your help.

[Luke 37274]

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

Which one should I use for arm64 ?

 

I see armhf and armv7hl but no arm64.

 package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64)
