Beano525 1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano525 1 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi, do you see the emby tray icon near the clock? No, there's no Emby icon in the menubar or no indication that it's actually open or running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano525 1 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 How exactly did you install? What version of MacOS? Downloaded the Mac version from emby.media/download, unzipped it and dragged it into the Applications folder like the instructions said.

AZRichG 9 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patje57 9 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano525 1 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
