tymanthius 18 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 So, I'm one of those emby users who paid for a lifetime, mostly just go along and run apt update as needed and let things run. Well, suddenly I'm seeing there's an update but I can't get via apt. Wierd. So I go looking, and there's a lot of random comments I can find on how you have to manually update to 3.4, and no repos in the foreseeable future. That's very annoying. But I could live with it. My issue is, there was no announcement I saw that this was coming. There was no 'you have an update, but it needs special attentioin' in the dashboard. And worst, I think, no clear place to find a good baseline of what you need to do to update. I find this to be a total customer service fail. It's also a minor to medium technical fail as so many people are having issues updateing. Me for instance. I can't get 3.4 to run stable. Often it'll run for a while, but randomly crashes. Sometimes I will start it and it claims the process is already started even tho ps -A | grep emby shows nothing. And I get constant apt errors complaining about libc-bin, even tho I appear to have the correct version installed. I'm on proxmox w/ a Debian 8 container. At this point I'm thinking of testing Plex out again. Although I may try to build a brand new debian 9 container. Either way, this is probably the clumsiest thing I've seen from the Emby team.

tymanthius 18 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 try this wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/3.4.1.0/emby-server-deb_3.4.1.0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.4.1.0_amd64.deb I did that. More than once. What finally 'fixed' it for me was to spin up a new container based on Debian 9 and do a fresh install. Used the server backup/restore to get my settings back. Mostly worked except that I have to reinvite friends/family and I had to manually reset all the library accesses. The tech side of things - meh. Shit happens. But the customer service side was really terribly executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So should I be waiting to update, then, using the “new” overwrite method, for a while...?
