Beano525 1 Posted February 14 I have installed (multiple times) Emby as per instructions on my iMac running the latest version of MacOS. However, I can't get it to open. It just does a "popping" animation from the screen, fades away and nothing happens. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZRichG 7 Posted February 17 Try restarting your Mac, I *think* that happened to me recently and that fixed it. Besides, restarts are pretty harmless, just take a bit of time. I'm on 10.15.3 so that is a substantial difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patje57 9 Posted February 18 Emby runs fine here on 10.15.3, just had to use the right-click "Open" trick at first launch as documented in the install instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beano525 1 Posted February 18 When you try to run it, how are you doing that? So it appears the problem is with my Mac user account. Because when I created a new user and gave it admin rights as a test, I downloaded Emby and it opens no problem and the emby icon is in the menu bar. I don’t know what the problem is with my main mac user account as everything seems okay. Very strange 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
