Try uninstalling and then rebooting the NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yog-Sothoth 2 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 @Luke Hi, I run on DSM 7 and EMBY 4.7.0.3. I view you make a new beta package 4.7.0.7 and I can't install it.

Mick_K 6 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Wow, given all the issues reported with the migration to DSM 7, I might hang off doing it for a while until it gets as simple as updating DSM and downloading an Emby package.. I don't fancy having to redo all of emby if I stuff it up (very likely with having to do putty etc.). It's working great now with DSM 6.2.4.25556 and Emby 4.6.4.0 and as the saying goes, "if it ain't broken..." Kudos to everyone who's managed to update.

Carlo 4289 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It's actually a pretty simple process if you follow the instructions. If/when you're ready to upgrade we can always give you a hand remotely if needed, if that would make you feel more comfortable about the migration.

Mick_K 6 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I thought I'd try given the step-by-step instructions..... little did I know that I'd be copying my ENTIRE library TWICE. 21 hrs and it's still "upgrading"... I hope to G, it doesn't come up with a "out of space" error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why twice? There is only one copy command in putty The whole process should take minutes, not days Edited August 22, 2021 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion to you would be to create a shared folder specific for media. On my Synology this is call "Media". Under Media share I have my different libs. So for example: /Media/Movies /Media/TV Shows /Media/Music /Media/Home Videos etc Having you media setup like this also allows use of File Station as well as mounting this share in Windows for easy access to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably could be redone to match yours with the pictures. No need to do that twice if done at the right point So, since Mick_K has his media there also it copied everything twice . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Emby installed on a share (/volume1/emby/) to do precisely that (mount the share in Windows for easy access to files). It made sense at the time to put media in the data folder of Emby Server. Since Emby is now no longer installed on a share, my media is as you suggested (located on a share that Windows has access to). I have also deleted the media duplicates from /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer which were copied over as part of the updating process. The only problem now is that I don't have direct access (like I did with the share) to the Emby Server files without having to use PuTTY or the like.

I have since moved the media library to its own share so future Emby/DSM updates don't effect it as @cayars suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 4829 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 My point being though that there was no need to do that step twice. @cayars own instructions don't have that step twice. So he should remove that link and add graphics to his own instructions if he wishes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4289 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I edited the op post of the migration instructions to remove the link to the pictured instructions as they have a few extra steps not needed and I'm fielding PMs on it. The step by step instructions and video should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble 2 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi Help and advise needed thank you. I have a ds220j and recently blindly updated dsm to version 7, then found Emby did not work. I subsequently deleted the existing Emby with a view to installing the synology version 7. When I try to manually install from package centre using the downloaded file "emby-server-synology7_4.6.4.0_x86_64", I get the message "This package is not supported on the platform of Synology NAS or is incompatible with the current DSM version." . I have tried other versions with same result. I have read it is not possible to go back to a previous version of DSM , therefore would you advise a complete reset back to factory for the ds220j or is there a step by step guide to reinstate emby. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4289 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi, pretty sure the DS220j is an ARM8 not X86/64 package. Can you download and install that version. Did you delete /volume1/Emby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 4829 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Here's a list of processors and chips showing the RTD1296 is indeed ARM8 Architecture per Synology model · SynoCommunity/spksrc Wiki · GitHub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble 2 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks will try the arm8 when I get chance, will let you know the outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble 2 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi Just to let you know my Emby up and running again, the Arm8 software installed with no problems on the ds220J. Many thanks for the support. However I did struggle with adding the library details for a while when I spotted the solution in one of your postings which was to make sure read/write for Emby was enabled in "System Internal User". It was then just a matter of adding the library paths for the metadata to be collected. I can now settle an watch a movie. Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
