Playback does not start

[Guest]

I have re-installed Emby server using new plugin mechanism in FreeNAS 11.2 RC1.

 

I recreated my library (adding folders) from scratch. I can see the media and movie posters just fine on the web interface.

 

However, when I start to playback any videos, they never starts. This happen both on Chrome browser and Android app.

 

I have ran Emby server on this server many years, including reinstallig a few time. This has never happened before.

Hi, is your system configured for quarterly packages or for latest packages?

Hi Luke, where can I find that out?

 

I looked everywhere in the server dashboard. All I can tell is I am running version 3.5.3.0

This is a freebsd system setting.

Take a look at /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf you'll see from the URL in that file if you're set to latest or quarterly

On FreeNAS host, it is set to latest.

 

In the Emby iocage jail, it is set to quarterly.

@@chrisada i am having the same issue.  Did you find a fix?  

[riccote 2]

I had this issue before and this was the fix.  I am also having the same problem now.  Old ffmpeg log attached.

I see similar errors all the time when I choose to rebuild ffmpeg for the plugin.

The plugin should have all libraries in /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/lib but since this is not normally searched they need to be linked to a standard location (/usr/local/lib).

The 'external-links' file does that during the PBI build process. https://github.com/j.../external-links

 

I see that my plugin jail came with the 'libiconv' package already installed, so that is probably why I didn't need to add that link for the plugin's ffmpeg to work.

Either this user deleted packages from their plugin jail, or the plugin jail has been updated and no longer comes with this package.

 

A workaround is either to install libiconv, or to run..

ln -s /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/lib/libiconv.so.3 /usr/local/lib

hmm... running ln -s /usr/pbi/emby-amd64/lib/libiconv.so.3 /usr/local/lib did not fix the issue for me... how can in install "libiconv"?

That's not going to work now.

We've submitted a patch to freebsd ports:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232966

 

Hopefully that is merged quickly. thanks guys.

[skullitor13 1]

Is there a manual way to fix this in the mean time until the plugin is fixed?

[Luke 40145]

You can always try our new package that we have for testing:

[skullitor13 1]

So I think I might be missing something, or maybe I have another problem

 

I installed version Version 3.6.0.61 by running the following command

pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/3.6.0.61/emby-server-freebsd_3.6.0.61_amd64.txz

But I still get this error in the logs when I try and watch live tv.

roll back to 60, 61 has included outdated libraries

Take a look at /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf you'll see from the URL in that file if you're set to latest or quarterly

 

True, but some of us run our own package respository, like Synth, and that configuration would seem to trump /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.

 

On my machine:

$ less /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
# $FreeBSD: releng/11.2/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 333474 2018-05-10 23:58:33Z gjb $
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

But here we see otherwise, that its set to latest.

pkg -vv

(omitted a bunch of output)

Repositories:
  Synth: { 
    url             : "file:///var/synth/live_packages",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0
  }
  FreeBSD: { 
    url             : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }

That fixed it makarai!

[FreeBSD_Lover 14]

I'm gonna wait until its posted in the FreeBSD ports tree.

[Guest]

That fixed it makarai!

 

Yup. Rolling back to 3.6.0.60 fixed it for me as well. Thanks, @@makarai !

[Luke 40145]

Latest beta 3.6.0.63 has updated libraries to hopefully resolve this for everyone. Thanks.

[makarai 108]

Yes updated to 63, everything runs great
