Emby crashes on Ubuntu

[Pseudomax 2]

Hi

 

I have been using Emby for years without any problems until recently where I had a transcoding error. I have always had Emby hosted on a Windows HTPC, but for completely different reasons, I have recently given up on Windows due to yet another bug (my firewall was corrupted by a recent Windows update) and moved to Ubuntu 18.04

 

However, I installed Emby without a problem but could not work out why after a few hours it seemed not to be active... and indeed it had crashed. Given I had installed a whole lot of software in the process of changing OS I thought maybe something had gone wrong ... so I installed the latest beta version over the version I had. However this too crashes fairly soon after a restart.

 

I have looked at the logs but there is nothing I can tell that has an error attached... but if you can direct me to the correct log to send then I will obviously send this. Given that on searching I see that for Ubuntu this is not such an uncommon experience ... I wonder if someone could point me to a script that will monitor and restart emby-server if it does crash? Daemontools I believe does this, but I can't seem to get this working?!!

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, can you please attach the emby server log? Thanks !

Ok, I have (after a little more reading) figured out how to use daemontools to keep emby-server up, so the logs provided are representing what I think are 4 crashes over 25min ... (I have included the time stamp for them in their names). Any fixes will be very useful!

It looks like the server is being denied read access to a file:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/mnt/share/Multimedia/Pictures/Scan0002.jpg' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

I think our image processing library doesn't handle this very well and it ends up bringing down the server. We'll have to see if we can catch that and prevent the crash, but you should also look at file permissions.

Thanks @@Luke ... yes I did see that and had tried to change all the permissions ... but clearly need to try again! It does seem to be happening every 5-10min ... so thankfully I have daemontools working now!c

Just as follow up ... having reset permissions on my NAS ... that does seem to have fixed the problem ... thanks for the help ...

Emby has started crashing similarly for me:  Syslog give the clue (nothing in emby logs I can see, but attached one prior to the crash):

The event is easily reproducible, just restart emby-server service, play around with the server (using Android App) like refreshing TV shows and Movies.

 

Any help appreciated, note this had been working perfectly.
