Hello,

this morning i upgraded my emby from 3.3.1 to 3.4.0, but now it won't start.

I also tried to reinstall 3.3.1 but it doesn't start.

I have ubuntu 16.04.

What can i try to do to make it work again?

I really don't know what to do.

Maybe this can help.

 

If i give:

$ sudo service emby-server start
start: Job failed to start
$ ps -aux | grep emby
fabio     4489  0.0  0.0  11792   920 pts/0    S+   10:53   0:00 grep --colour=auto emby

Emby doesn't start

 

So i try:

$ /etc/init.d/emby-server start
 * Starting emby-server daemon  
/etc/init.d/emby-server: riga 48: /usr/bin/emby-server: File o directory non esistente     [fail]
$ ps -aux | grep emby
fabio     4553  0.0  0.0  11792   920 pts/0    S+   10:54   0:00 grep --colour=auto emby
$ whereis emby-server
emby-server: /etc/emby-server.conf /usr/lib/emby-server

It seems there is not emby-server bin.

 

Any idea?

Hello, Same thing happened to me when I upgraded to 3.4 from 3.3.1.

 

I'm running centOS7

 

when I goto /usr/bin and click on the emby-server link it tells me the following:

 

This link cannot be used because its target /usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh doesn't exist.

 

So I navigate to /usr/lib/emby-server/  and there are only two folders.   etc which contains EmbyMagick-6 folder and an lib64 folder which has some lib files for Magick

Some new information, I did find an emby-server program here:   /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server,  I ran it and my server started.

 

But it seems I have to manually start it, if I were ever to reboot my server.   I can no longer use systemctl start emby-server.   becuase when I run that command then do a systemctl status emby-server I get the following
 

 

I've also found that if I reboot emby via the web console, it will just stop then I have to go run /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server again

systemctl status emby-server -l

So edit your systemd unit file for emby.

How did you manually start emby?

So edit your systemd unit file for emby.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.. however the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service looked fine.  

 

[unit]

Description=Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about ever$

After=network.target

 

[service]

EnvironmentFile=/etc/emby-server.conf

WorkingDirectory=/opt/emby-server

ExecStart=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server

RestartForceExitStatus=3

User=emby

 

[install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

So from here I checked the file /etc/emby-server.conf  and the output of that file showed:

EMBY_DATA=/var/lib/emby

 

Navigated to var/lib and there was no emby folder  only an emby-server folder, so I edited the above line saved it, and it is now working properly.

 

 

So in short the problem was in the emby-server.conf file,  but thank you for your guidence to the systemd file.

by running /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server

 

I did find a permanent solution that I've just posted.. hopefully it will work for you as well

Rebbot done, but nothing changed.

Tried to remove emby and reinstall but nothing.

 

Do you think it has something to do with mysql?

I think mysql installation has got something wrong.

Maybe the solution could be to uninstall everything about emby and reinstall, but how?

 

I tried but i think something still remain in the system of the previous installation.

 

Please can someone help me?

There is something strange.

But where it is.

Here is what i have, i'm doing all from root user:

 

 

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.4.0.0_amd64.deb

Selezionato il pacchetto emby-server non precedentemente selezionato.
(Lettura del database... 241300 file e directory attualmente installati.)

Ok, it looks like you tried to switch from our legacy install package to our newer one, instead of updating in the same way that you had in the past. The two installations are different and are not compatible. 

 

Switching to our newer installation requires uninstalling and purging your current install. Then you can install the new one fresh.

I tried all suggestions.

I think i deleted all, but after reinstall with dpkg -i it doesn't want to start.

 

Any other hint?

About this i always use the same way to update.

I download .deb pakage and give command:

dpkg -i XXX.deb

 

What did i do wrong?

What ubuntu system user are you running under?

 

I think what's happening is the server is not getting write access to the system /tmp folder.

Sorry, i just realize on this server i have linux mint 17 (based on ubuntu 14.04)

 

User is fabio, but run emby with sudo.

 

And /tmp is:

 

drwxrwxr-x   8 fabio fabio  16K mag  5 18:23 tmp

I'm going to put a hack in the beta channel to try and workaround this, although i have a feeling that if the server cant' write to /tmp then there are going to be other problems.

 

Anyway it will be in the beta by tomorrow. Thanks.

Why server shouldn't be able to write to /tmp dir?

Looking at this drwxrwxr-x anyone should be able to write di /tmp dir.
