[obieq 0]

 Hello I am setting up my brande new Raspberry Pi4 (4GB) and I have few questions.

I am using RASPBIAN 10 Buster

 

1. Which installation wy is better/appriopriate

a)

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/Debian_Next/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby-server.list 

apt-get update

apt-get install emby-server

 

Should I use mono or amrhf version?

https://emby.media/linux-server.html

Debian Armv7 (armhf)

1. Download emby-server-deb_4.4.1.0_armhf.deb
2. dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.4.1.0_armhf.deb
3. Open a web browser to http://localhost:8096

 

 

 

2. Any other important things related to Rpi4?

 

3. How much memory-split in raspi-config for Rpi4 (in Rpi3 it was im not sure but 256mb propably)

Hi, the opensuse repository is obsolete. If you've installed anything from there I would remove all traces.

As far as how to install, i would just see here:

https://emby.media/linux-server.html

 

Then follow the instructions for the operating system and architecture of the CPU. Does that answer your question?

I am not poweruser.

I see this will gonna work but there's no automatic updates from "apt-get update" this way?

I will have to manually download and install each emby-server-deb_x.x.x.x_armhf.deb version?

Yes but each new stable release is only every month or two, it's not like you'll be doing that every day.

Adding this for those directed here by web searches on how to update your Emby server on a Pi.

 

An easy way to update your Emby server, provided you're running a desktop environment, is:

* On the machine running your Emby server, either directly or by VNC, open the web page to your server (127.0.0.1:8096)

* Sign in, and click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner. You want to manage the server.

* The message to update the server contains hot links. Click, and you'll go to the web page to select and download the correct package for your hardware. (Pi4 = Arm7, the package with ARMHF in the name.) While it's downloading, go back to the "Manage Server" tab on your browser, and shut down the Emby server.

* The download notification at the bottom ribbon of the web browser window -- click on the completed file, and the installer will start up.

* It may seem like forever, but it's working. Just let it be. When finished, reboot your Pi. You're done! Once booted and you log into your Emby server, the "Manage Server" page may have a message to restart the server to finish your update. That's normal. Just restart the server (there's a power button icon on the Manage Server page.)
