Emby server failing after loading web interface

[icsy7867 8]

I just upgraded to 3.4.1 without issue and it appeared everything was working yesterday.

 

However, today everything has gone awry.  When I try to load the main emby page locally everything loads fine, but the next thing I click fails to load.  So I SSH'd into my emby server to poke around.

 

I have of course tried restarting the server and my machine, which results in the same thing.  It works fine for the first page load and then the process crashes.  The apps are also crashing the emby-server service.

I have checked the server logs in /var/lib/emby/logs and do not see anything causing the crashes.  At this point it might just be easier to rebuild.  If anyone has

Posted too soon!

 

Updating from apt-get repo to the deb caused an issue as the new installation expects:

/var/lib/emby-server

 

but the apt repos use:

/var/lib/emby

 

I simply created the symlink to "make" the /var/lib/emby-server folder

from this post:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/58573-can-not-scan-after-upgrade-to-340/

I simply ran:

sudo ln -s /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby-server

However, this is a bandaid,  I will most likely rebuild my outdated ubuntu VM in favor of a RHEL7 one in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes currently you cannot mix the the old and new install packages.
