Hi!

I am seriously wondering: Whats the proper way to install emby theater on a raspberry-pi 3 b+ ?

I did several installs already but in the meantime: i am confused.

Via deb file provided here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/42868-emby-theater-for-linux/ ?

Or download it from github and run it via npm as described here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/42868-emby-theater-for-linux/page-28&do=findComment&comment=725333 ?

Can someone clarify?

Thanks in advance.

okay, i`ve tried both.

using the deb package: it wasnt possible to play any movies: no compatible stream found.

using the git repo and npm: movies start but they are SUPER laggy, impossible to watch.

any advice?

Well, yes. There isnt much to do. Download the package, install and run. ("Debian based Distros").

I was hoping MPV on buster supported the raspberry pi but it does not. It's missing the raspberry pi video driver. I'll need to recompile MPV for buster due to missing libs. Thanks.

That makes sense. Please let me know when u want me to test something or even recompile mpv.

Thanks for your answer!

Hi Luke!

Did you manage to recompile MPV in the meantime?

I would love to use my PIs again :)

 

Kind regards

Humm, i just tried that. We are back to "No compatible streams found" error. UI is also pretty... "laggy".

You must not have run:

sudo rpi-update
reboot
