FrancoisB 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hello, I am trying to run Emby server on my debian 10 VPS. Library is mapped via webdav, drives are on my Synology NAS (ARMv5, so emby is not working properly at the moment). fstab is as follows: https://xxxx.xxxx.xx/Storage /mnt/Storage davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0 emby user is mounting the point, hence the rights are set as: drwxr-xr-x 24 emby emby 0 Sep 1 21:03 Documentaries drwx------ 2 emby emby 0 Sep 18 17:59 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 229 emby emby 0 May 17 12:31 Movies drwxr-xr-x 2 emby emby 0 Sep 8 17:31 '#recycle' drwxr-xr-x 14 emby emby 0 Aug 17 09:00 'TV Shows' Movies identification works, nfo and image files are written in the directories as expected. However, the file stats (length, size, audio, subtitles etc.) are not extracted. What I see on my NAS is upload stream up to my bandwidth limit. RAM usage on the VPS is high, after a while, it stops. This is what I get: 2020-09-23 17:17:05.053 Error MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Error Output: ffprobe version 4.3.0-emby_2020_05_23 Copyright (c) 2007-2019 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 8.3.0 (crosstool-NG 1.24.0) 2020-09-23 17:17:05.075 Error App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 4.5.0.50 Command line: /opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb Operating system: Linux version 4.19.0-8-cloud-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-6)) #1 SMP Debian 4.19.98-1 (2020-01-26) Framework: .NET Core 3.1.7 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: opt/emby-server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 1 Data path: /var/lib/emby Application path: /opt/emby-server/system System.Exception: System.Exception: Error running ffprobe for file:"/mnt/Storage/Movies/The Bookshop/The.Bookshop.2017.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG-remuxed.mp4" - at Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Probing.MediaProbeManager.GetMediaInfoInternal(String inputPath, String primaryPath, MediaProtocol protocol, String userAgent, Boolean extractChapters, String probeSizeArgument, Boolean isAudio, Boolean forceEnableLogging, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.ProbeVideo[T](MetadataResult`1 metadataResult, MetadataRefreshOptions options, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.RunCustomProvider(ICustomMetadataProvider`1 provider, MetadataResult`1 itemResult, String logName, MetadataRefreshOptions options, RefreshResult refreshResult, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding TargetSite: Void MoveNext() Is it linked to my installation or to webdav ?

Luke 36879 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 HI, I wonder if the server is being denied access. What happens when you try to play one of these? Can you attach the ffmpeg log from that? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancoisB 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I have no ffmpeg specific log, I doubt that transcoding can work on my minimal configuration. Here is the emby log while reading. VPS embyserver 4.5.0.50 2020 09 23 play.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Did it attempt to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancoisB 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 All I got was the circle, the player did not open. All the while the NAS upload bandwidth was 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancoisB 0 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 OK, I think I've got it. Issue lies with webdav which is not suited for streaming. What it does is basically to copy to the server the file it whats to open... I am trying mapping using sshfs, ie filesystem over ssh. Stay tuned.

Luke 36879 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Keep us posted. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancoisB 0 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I confirm. Webdav is rubbish for streaming, sshfs works wonders between my Synology and my OVH VPS on debian 10. It requires some tuning for increased security, but it does the job very well and even transcode ! This will now replace the Syno emby application as it is broken for ARMv5.
