how to get menu bar icon back?

[dance4ever 11]

hi!  I’m a newbie to emby so kudos to the team for allowing me to get a media server up in no time complete w WAN access (wow times have changed w UPnP!  A media server has been an on/off project since 2002 when I acquired my friend’s x486 server for hundred bucks!)

the first time I booted Emby, I saw a menu bar icon.

subsequent boots, it’s disappeared.

how do I get the Emby menu bar icon back?

I’m on macOS 10.15.6 on a Mac mini server (Mid 2010) (dosdude1 patch)

Hi there, are your sure emby server is actively running?

[dance4ever 11]

yup - it definitely is.

This is not a showstopper as I assume the task bar is used to stop or reboot the server which I can do from the web UI.

just letting you know

what version of MacOS?

[dance4ever 11]

oops important details

macOS 10.15.6

the icon bar decided to show up after quitting and restarting the app.

I don't see a pattern

I'll circle back if the issue has completely gone away for whatever reason.

Right now, super happy w Emby!

That's great, thanks for the feedback.

heads up after my last reboot, the tray icon is missing again.  The tray icon process is running.

This is even lower priority as I just posted a question as to how to prevent the tray icon from starting in the first place.

Thanks for the info. We'll try to chase it down.

Hi, have you tried this with Emby Server 4.5.1? How does that compare?
