MadMeddler Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Here you go again... I've decided to dip my toes in Emby to use with my Kodi installations and thought the best way forward was to install it on my NAS (which has behaved beautifully with other applications). Checked the latest version available from the built-in ADM and found 4.0.1.0 Installed this without issues, but the web interface doesn't appear. Checked /volume1/.@plugins/AppCentral and found the emby-server folder in place However (having looked at other posts here), I don't see an emby folder within /volume1/home No sign of an emby process running within top init.d has K50 and S50 entries for emby-server Reboot hasn't helped. Where should I begin to diagnose? I'm no linux expert, but I can find my way around in ssh ;-) Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Luke Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi there, what do you mean exactly by this? but the web interface doesn't appear. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMeddler Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Sorry, lack of clarity: Clicking the link from ADM opens up the browser to: http://NASNAME:8096 That page is the one that doesn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Are you sure emby server is running? Did you start the server app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMeddler Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 It's certainly started as far as the ADM is concerned. However, as originally stated, I don't see any processes running from the command line and there's no sign of any logs. After another reboot, I can see that emby-server.pid is created - so the emby-server starts, but again I don't see any logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Is the firmware up to date? Asustor tested the 4.0.1 release themselves and did not report anything like this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMeddler Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yep, fully updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMeddler Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 OK, so I gave a few things a try. I read through the post-install.sh file and noted that it was referring to a folder that didn't exist (/home/emby), so I created that folder and then SU ran the post-install.sh again. This seems to have done the trick - at least the web gui finally made an appearance. Thanks for the help Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 That's interesting, thanks for the info! We'll take a look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucryd Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 @@MadMeddler Did you create an emby user prior to installing the package? The only time the home directory isn't created upon installation is when an emby user has already been created, supposedly by this very package, not an outside source.

MadMeddler Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 @@alucryd Not to my recollection. However, there could have been a user from a previous install I suppose. The user account doesn't show up through the GUI and I wouldn't have thought to check from the CLI before installing. If that is a possibility though, it might be worth error-trapping that in some way - assuming that's a possibility.

Saihan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I also had the same problem from previous installations but resolved it by deleting emby user through SSH and reinstalling Emby. Edited March 15, 2019 by Saihan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
