makarai 108 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Hello, This thread can serve as an experience blog on how to update your emby jail. As i have installed the emby server a good 100 times I can share some of my experience. Personally I performed the updates this morning and it took less than 5 minutes. In order to make sure i don't touch my production server (jail), i always create a new server (new jail) and copy my data over, test, and go live. (with rsync 1.5gb database 10 seconds of copying) If you are coming from 3.6.0.0 to 3.6.0.56 i can only recommend going the first route as the database is already updated and the folder structure is the same, you just need to know where your jails are saved and then its ez pz. (its always good where your precious data is, maybe make a snapshot of them or copy them to an unrelated location) # Starting Fresh and copying the DB (Creating a new jail and copying over my settings) I created a new jail: (creates a new jail just called emby-server) #stable cd /tmp wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ma-karai/iocage-plugin-emby/master/emby-server.json iocage fetch -P dhcp=on vnet=on bpf=yes allow_raw_sockets=1 -n emby-server.json --branch 'master' added my storage via the gui and rsynced over my settings directory with. # old location # new location rsync -vrlpogth /mnt/evo/iocage/jails/emby-server-beta75/root/var/db/emby-server/ /mnt/evo/iocage/jails/emby-server/root/var/db/emby-server/ DONE. # Updated a Beta server running 3.6.0.56 Since i knew i was already with the new database it was quite straight forward. only thing i had to do was add the libraw package that was newly added at somepoint, and update login to your emby-beta-jail shell (with gui or with iocage console YOURJAILNAME) then pkg install libraw service emby-server stop pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.0.0.2/emby-server-freebsd_4.0.0.2_amd64.txz service emby-server start Restart the jail DONE # Updated a Beta server running 3.6.0.75 log into the shell of the jail and service emby-server stop pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.0.0.2/emby-server-freebsd_4.0.0.2_amd64.txz service emby-server start Edited April 26, 2019 by makarai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilWhite 64 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I updated from 3.6.0.76 to 4.0.0.1 (with the plugin updates and repeat library scan and switch to Emby TV guide) a few days ago and then to 4.0.0.2 yesterday...quick process, all working well.

gbarone123 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I updated from 3.6.0.79 and so far all seems great. Pages and videos are quick to load. No playback issues to report from any clients on LAN or WAN. Library scans complete MUCH faster. Great work guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent 91 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Do i need the libraw install on .73? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makarai 108 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Do i need the libraw install on .73? should already be installed. Just update the pkg if you get an error message at the end stating you need libraw, install libraw and then repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnicks 2 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Why is there no 4.1 beta release for Freebsd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 FreeBSD is more complicated than the other platforms. Occasionally it can run a little bit behind. Thank you for your patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbarone123 4 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Orcist, Going from 3.5.3.0 to 4.x will require “pkg install libraw” before you run the pkg add -f command. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
