Breathwork 0 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I have tried to install emby using the windows installer from the web site and it crashes. I downloaded the portable version and extracted to a folder and this works. When I attempt to update the version in the folder via the management console, it to just reports nothing, other than restart server and I am back to the original version. I need help...

MarkH99 0 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Luke - I am getting the error almost immediately after the download and expansion of the EmbyServer software. The installation steps do not appear to be executed. Happpy2Play - The installation process is not getting far enough to create the folder and programs in the \Program Files folder for Emby. The EmbyServer.exe program is not installed yet. Thank you both for your help MarkH99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a local user or admin account? Last resort would be getting the portable version and place it in the folder of your choosing.

MarkH99 0 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Happy2Play - Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the User directory and it was in fact installed. I did create a Desktop Icon for the EmbyServer.exe file and am ready to give it a try. Before I do, one question: I currently have the portable version I am using and I would like to copy over the Config File form it so I do not have to completely re-config the new server installation. Would you happen to know the name of the config file I need to copy over with all the definitions for the file locations, users and preferences in it?

MarkH99 You should be able to copy the Emby-Server\programdata folder from one to the other. Is there an issue with the portable that you needed to do an install? Are you planning to run both? If so each server will need to be setup with different ports. Edited January 23, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH99 0 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I have upgraded my Media Server and wanted to install the server version instead of the portable one. I am only planning to run the full EmbyServer version on this machine. I copied the entire \programdata folder over from the portable version to the new Emby Server location and it is working fine. Thanks so much for your help Happy2Play - One unrelated question - Do you know if there are any plans to fix the current Direct Play capability form the HDHomeRun Quatro device to stream H264 natively (without transcoding everything)? Currently, the HDHomeRun Extend version send over the feed that way, but I was not sure if there was any plans to fix this problem from the Emby side? In other words - prevent having to purchase a new Extend device just to by-pass the continual Live TV feed transcoding performed by the Emby Server today on each stream originating from the Quatro device. Thanks again for all your help Happy2Play - Best Regards MarkH99 Edited January 23, 2020 by MarkH99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing your setup, the only issue you may run into is paths if they are not the same in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
