Restarting server leaves a zombie

[jmariani 19]

Hi. Every time I restart the server, it doesn't kill the previous instance.

 

I'm on Emby 3.5.2.0 on a Mac Mini running Mojave Beta 5

 

[uPDATE] it also leaves "Electron helper"s running.

Hi, we're looking into this, thanks.

Ok thanks!

 

It also happens when you just exit the server, but with no Electron helpers.

 

A force kill is necessary.

Hi @@jmariani,

 

Please see if the workaround below works for you:

 

Open a terminal window and run the following command (assuming you have copied EmbyServer.app into your Applications folder) :

/Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/EmbyServer 

 

Leave the terminal window open. To quit Emby go to the open terminal window and hit ctrl-c. Don't be tempted to quit Emby from the menu bar icon as this does not work correctly at the moment.

When running emby-server from a terminal, and, using shutdown from the emby server Dashboard, you do still have to hit ctrl-c, but, the messages displayed on the screen in the terminal windows are hopeful at least that you won't corrupt, since they end with:

 

Info Main: Releasing mutex

Info Main: Mutex released

Info Main: Shutdown complete

 

FWIW

Thanks, we are still looking into this.
