FreeNAS 11 + Emby Server (jail) No Playback

[DrDoom 2]

Hello @ all,

 

i am new to FreeBSD/FreeNAS and the jail concept so please be kind.

My FreeNAS Box (Pentium G4560T/16GB ECC RAM/ASUS P10S-I and some WD RED's) run's fine for week now but i am not

able to playback files over Browser or TV app.

 

I used the plugin installer provided by FreeNAS and was able to point emby to my media files. Emby searched through it and display

me everything very nice but if i want to play a file it tells me 

 

"Playback Error. No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details."

 

In the Server-Log i found 

Application directory: /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/lib/emby-server

    System.Exception: Error starting ffmpeg

 

My question is - why do i get a ffmpeg log if the server cannot start ffmpeg?

Google didn't find that problem so i need your help to solve it.

Emby i the only plugin i want to use so system resources should be ok.

 

I restarted 5 or more times both emby and freenas and installed new freenas version 11-1 U2 totay and reinstalled emby but the problem 

is still the same

 

Thank you in advance

 

BR DrDoom

Hi, it looks like your ffmpeg build is not built with smb:// support. You will need to add this to your installed ffmpeg on freenas.

 

We have BSD instructions for ffmpeg:

https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html

 

But the process for freenas might be different. I'll check with our package maintainer. thanks.

As far as i understand the emby plugin for FreeNAS has smb support included. I see the SMB option was added to ffmpeg since July 2017, so i doubt an old build is the issue here.

 

Luke do you know the ffmpeg command to see what compiler options ffmpeg was built with?

It's printed at the top of every ffmpeg log, so in this case:

i wonder if anyone ever tested libsmbclient works in the jail? maybe i need to link some lib(s) to make them available. an added complication of PBI plugins

[Luke 37090]

Well in this case it appears disabled

--disable-libsmbclient

[josh4trunks 70]

I confirmed it missing from my install too. I guess I enabled the option, but never rebuilt the dependency.

I am recompiling the plugin now and can post a test build here if you want to test.

 

This should be fixed with the next release of the emby plugin for FreeNAS.

Thanks @@josh4trunks !

Hello Josh and Luke,

 

thanks for your reply.

So do i understand correctly that this problem is not my fault, and i cannot do anything at the moment?

You can try this PBI I just built and see if it fixes the issue with SMB links.

https://www.jruehlig.com/owncloud/s/vxLW4D5WVSQOSS2

 

Also, I was wondering. Is the SMB share you are trying to access on your FreeNAS? If so, there is no reason to access the file through SMB, as it is much less efficient to do so.

The best way to access the SMB share would be to mount the dataset into the jail on the Jails > Storage tab, and add the mounted location to emby.

@@josh4trunks,

 

you found my mistake! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

i cant even remember why i used the smb instead of the mounted location.

now i changed it and it worked perfectly.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Hello, Quite late to the party. 

 

However, my emby server runs alright on the old warden jail and on the new iocage jail structure.
