Problem upgrading Emby server 3.2.24 to 3.5 on Windows 7

[SHill 1]

I have been using Emby Server for Windows 3.2.24 for quite some time without issue and, after rather too long(!), have decided to update to 3.5. However I am encountering issues both by installing through the weblink and using the manual download.

Both seem to install 3.5 and the tray icon flashes up but then disappears. Restarting the server does nothing.

I read a few articles about upgrading to 3.5 which note that that it is compatible with Win 7 SP1 only and all updates must be installed.

I have done that but still to no avail.

Log file attached - any help gratefully accepted.

 

Thanks

Corrupt: database disk image is malformed

There were database changes in between those versions and @@Luke would have to comment on whether they are able to apply in a big version jump like that.

 

But in the end you will probably have to rename your library.db and allow it to rebuild.  Only issue I see will be userdata back then was in a separate databases and merged into library.db sometime in-between those versions.

Hi Luke,

Yep all worked fine.

Some metadata updating required for episodes I had added within the last month but all good.

Thanks for your help.
