DDeezy 0 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hello! I'm having a problem today while trying to setup emby on a "Feral Hosting" Server. If you look in the title you can see my main error.... I've made sure the files ffmpeg and ffprobe are executable. I'm not sure if emby has any permissions or not based on this piece from your emby wizard "For Linux on Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse, or Ubuntu, you must grant the Emby system user at least read access to your storage locations." This could be my main problem not too sure, but it got into my media folder just fine... I'm using the latest 3.4.2 build. I've also tried linking directly to the ffmpeg file itself with no luck. I'm a huge beginner when it comes to this stuff so I'm sorry if I haven't provided enough info about this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, what install method did you use? Our new packages on our website have ffmpeg included so that you never have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDeezy 0 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Hi, what install method did you use? Our new packages on our website have ffmpeg included so that you never have to worry about it. I followed this guide https://www.feralhosting.com/wiki/software/emby and I was snooping around in my emby folder on the server and saw this (in the attachment) I'm guessing this is the folder you're talking about? So all I would have to do take the path to that folder instead of going through the ffmpeg install? : Edit: I looked in the folder and nothing was in it Edited March 20, 2018 by DDeezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I would try using one of the new packages on our website. If you really want to proceed as is, that error could also come up if the server does not have permission to execute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to proceed as is, that error could also come up if the server does not have permission to execute it. I've uninstalled and tried to install a package from the website. Sadly I don't think it's possible as I tried the dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.3.1.0_amd64.deb command and I get dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege If you really want to proceed as is, that error could also come up if the server does not have permission to execute it How could I go about checking that?

Jdiesel 1114 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Try sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.3.1.0_amd64.deb Edited March 20, 2018 by Jdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDeezy 0 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Try sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.3.1.0_amd64.deb Tried it. I get a lecture about great power comes with great responsibility. Then it asks for a password. I've tried typing in my password to get into the SSH and it doesn't even let me type. Unless i'm doing something wrong I don't think sudo is allowed with feral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Well I'm not familiar with feral other than having heard of it but I'm guessing you'll want to do a chmod on the ffmpeg and ffprobe executables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looks like Feral doesn't give you admin rights and requires you to use their install script with is still using the mono version. Maybe ask if they can update their install script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDeezy 0 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Well I'm not familiar with feral other than having heard of it but I'm guessing you'll want to do a chmod on the ffmpeg and ffprobe executables. I've done both of these commands [porphyrion ~] chmod +x aaaa/ffmpeg-3.4.2-64bit-static/ffmpeg [porphyrion ~] chmod +x aaaa/ffmpeg-3.4.2-64bit-static/ffprobe Is that what you are talking about? You think I may just have to get in contact with the Feral people and see if it has anything to do with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDeezy 0 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 When you type your password in it will remain blank. Got this "deezy is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yep sounds like it is locked down lol. Ask them if they can update their install script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
