wolfie1_0 0 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I just had to redo my FreeNAS server and finally got around to setting up the new iocage version of emby V.3.5.3.0 and am unable to play any of the media files that I have tried through a web browser, either at the local address or through the web portal, or through Chromecast/ my LG smart TV app. Although the exact same files play just fine through the android app on my phone. Though my unqualified eyes it looks like ffmpeg is crashing when it attempts to transcode For context this is setup on FreeNAS 11.1 which is in a VM on a VMware ESXi 6.5 server Dell R720 with 2xE5-2620 if that's relevant emby server log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also while I specified the IP address in the original install it still grabbed a dhcp address. Also I don't seem to have any trouble reaching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarai 108 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 If you don't properly setup your network, mulicast probably won't work. And the command you used is not proper. Also, would you mind sharing your network config/setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Chromecast and pretty much everything works on all the devices. I have guesses, you started the jail in a way that the freenas to emby network is not properly working,e.g. I had problems when I direct attached emby to an interface and did not use vnet all multicast was broken, or since you run freenas virtualized, the esxi to freenas network is not working which I have no idea of but I think I read somewhere that network config can be tricky, or your switch/routerconfig stops certain traffic, I have a ubiquity switch where I had to turn on igmp traffic to get my live TV working. And yes you can either change the existing setup via GUI, or you just install another jail, and play around with that one. Just add two movies and play around. In fact this is why I said you should just use the dhcp config first, because you can't really do anything wrong there Writing from mobile, sorry for the spelling and runon sentences As for my network as far as I know everything works since I can stream it to the emby app, I've got a pfsense router setup, and a really dumb switch, the ESXi network config is setup correctly with Promiscuous mode allowed Is it possible I'm having a problem similar to this? I read through the post but don't have enough skills in the command line to actually do what's suggested https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/60971-new-freenas-package-for-testing/page-7&do=findComment&comment=615883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarai 108 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 "I'm only running 11.1" In order for the most recent beta to work you need to update your freenas to at least 11.2-RC2. However, within the next 2 days freenas 11.2 stable will be released, finally. If you want to play around a little, what you can try is changing the emby-server-beta.json file. you can open the json file and change the freebsd release to 11.1 (currently set to 11.2) Then you should print an ifconfig for me and i can set up your iocage start command.

Rudolf De Kock 0 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have the same issue and can not find any answer how to get this working. In the Android app it work 100% but running on Windows via any of the web browsers it start the play but then just hang there for ever doing nothing. I installed Emby via the emby links on my FreeNas server. I am still running the older version also and there it is still working with no issues. Do not understand what change in the new version that cause this issue. Regards Kokkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete your jail! follow the 3 steps: open a shell in freenas cd /tmp wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ma-karai/iocage-plugin-emby/beta/emby-server-beta.json iocage fetch -P dhcp=on vnet=on bpf=yes allow_raw_sockets=1 -n emby-server-beta.json --branch 'beta' Edited April 26, 2019 by makarai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
