JDutton 7 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The QTS version is 4.5.2.1566. The complete message is "[App Center] Failed to install Emby-server-qnap_4.5.4.0_x86_64.qpkg. Try again later." As far as I know there is nothing else running, and this is the only information I can find. I am totally new to working with an NAS or any media server. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi, is this repeatable if you try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDutton 7 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I've tried it twice with the same result. I'm actually trying it again now. I'll post the result ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDutton 7 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I have gotten the same error message again. The first two attempts were yesterday. I am using the "Install Manually" option in AppCenter. The file is on my PC, and I am able to find it using Browse. After I click on Install it says "Uploading and Processing". The first time it got to uploading 2%. The next time was 50% and today it stopped at 51%. In the System Event Log it is exactly the same message.

JDutton 7 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 FYI, I also selected "Allow installation of applications without a valid digital signature?" and added https://emby.media/qnap-server.html in the App Repository. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucryd 216 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) The 253D doesn't have an exotic CPU so it should work. What browser are you using to upload the package? Is your connection stable (wifi or ethernet)? The installation would crash at sthe same time every time if the package wasn't compatible. Also, did you perhaps name your user emby? We need it for the package so it shouldn't already exist on your system. Can you also verify the md5 of the package matches the signature on the github release? On linux you can use md5sum, on windows I don't know but Google will have the answer. Edited February 12, 2021 by alucryd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDutton 7 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 The browser is Google Chrome. The connection between the Windows PC and the NAS is Ethernet. I don’t have a user named emby. I’m sorry, I have no idea what an md5 is. I do have a couple questions: I downloaded the package to a folder on the PC and to a folder on the NAS and they both had the same installation failure. Is there a specific folder that the installation needs to be run from? Also, someone told me that the package needed to be unzipped, but since it doesn’t end with .zip that didn’t’t make sense to me. Am I missing something there? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucryd 216 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks for your answers, and apologies for the huge delay. The md5 is a hash to verify the package you downloaded isn't corrupted. And your assumption was right, there's no need to unzip anything. I've got my hands tied for now and can't try much on my end, but if you had an open SSH access (or a VPN and local SSH access) to your NAS I could run some tests.

JDutton 7 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I appreciate your post. At about the time of my last post a person in Qnap support connected to my PC and downloaded and installed Emby via SSH using an app called Putty. For the moment, things are working well. I have been using Emby with no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDutton 7 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 I could see the commands and the activity, but to tell the truth it meant very little to me because I'm not familiar with SSH or Putty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbradp1 0 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Would be great if Emby tech would post the info on how to make this work via Putty for the rest of us so we don't have to call them each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we look at what's preventing you from using the normal install steps? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
