Issue with Emby Theater not starting

[dzoulias 2]

Hello all.

 

For some reason Emby Theater does not start anymore. No recent windows updates downloaded or installed (system is completely updated as of less than a week ago). No helpful error messages so no feedback to report to the community.

 

Using most recent Emby Server version. Windows 10 Prof. machine.

 

Tried reinstalling Emby Theater, downloaded from https://emby.media/emby-theater.html and when i run the installer executable, again nothing happens.

 

I need Emby Theater because i use it with MadVR and browser playback simply wont cut it.

 

I would appreciate your advice and technical support.

 

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Do you possibly have some security that's suddenly blocking it?

Yes! That was it.

 

I have (as always) created all ruled that permit it to run, however avast updated, and for some reason some rules were deleted without my knowing so.

 

Your suggestion however made me revisit the setup and fixed it.

 

Thank you heartily!
