Ravenshield 1 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I was running FreeNAS 11.2 and Emby in a Virtual Machine but something happened this morning and FreeNAS would no longer boot. I upgraded to TrueNAS (current version) and now that loads but my virtual machine no longer works. Rather then screw with that I decided to start with a fresh jail but it doesn't start Emby Server properly. The IP address is pingable but Emby server doesn't start "service emby-server start" just says "Starting emby-server." but when you check for running processes, nothing called emby is running Logs seem to be in /var/db/emby-server/logs but they don't show errors. Not really sure what else to look at. Any help is appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenshield 1 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 TrueNAS does it all for you when you setup the Jail. I didn't have to do anything but setup the network configuration emby-server.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 27163 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 How exactly did you install Emby Server? Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenshield 1 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 I didn't have to. The setup for the jail does it automatically. Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenshield 1 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Tried to install the beta version and it also fails emby-server.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenshield 1 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Tried a brand new jail from scratch with the instructions from https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html no change Does Emby now require a lot more memory? Could it just be dying due to lack of resources? Link to post Share on other sites

Creating a jail in TrueNAS does not automatically install emby. Did you do it manually through shell or did you install the community plugin? It may also sound really simple, but are you entering the port when trying to access it? IE: http://192.168.x.x:8096 Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenshield 1 Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 If you choose the Emby Jail from the Plugin section, it auto installs everything. Has done for years. Only recently was it moved to the community section rather then the official plugin section Link to post Share on other sites

Only recently was it moved to the community section rather then the official plugin section There's been a few issues with the community plugin recently. Mainly surrounding FFMPEG, which shouldn't cause it not to load. Regardless, for now the best installation method would be using the script found here. Which also requires manually creating the jail.

Ravenshield 1 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 I followed these instructions for the beta and ran into the same issues https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html Did you want those server logs? Link to post Share on other sites

One more thing to try.... is your package version set to latest or quarterly? While I'm not seeing anything in your log files that looks like an error, an out of date dependency could cause this type of issue. The community plugin sets it to default, when manually installing you may also need to manually do this. Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenshield 1 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 I think what I am going to do here is rebuild the FreeNAS server from scratch. Bump up the memory and then setup a new iocage for Emby. For the moment I have Emby running on a windows box until I have the time to rebuild everything. I think there is some underline performance issue where I've run out of resources. But I don't think its necessarily Emby as the cause. Link to post Share on other sites
