Everything in opt/emby-server/ has a 755 and is owned by root/@root

Which is where Emby is trying to access ffdetect/ffmpeg.

Is this what it is supposed to be like?

 

Personally, I don't see much /wrong/ with the server, but I'm trying to track down why the Live TV feature won't stream, and this shows up constantly in the logs, but for a lot of other issues, not related to this.

Hi there, please attach the complete emby server log file. Thanks.

So, I can't seem to easily reproduce it, but I was able to by simply clicking on "Channels" in the settings menu.

Thoughts?

Sorry to bug again, know yall are busy. Any ideas on this?

[Luke 42078]

Hi, I'm really not sure as I don't see anything obvious here. The 4.7 release is coming very soon. You could always jump up to the beta channel if you need immediate relief. The 4.7 release contains an updated .NET runtime which includes a number of file system fixes.

Or as a temporary workaround until 4.7, you could unzip the xml manually and point emby server to the xml file.

Gotcha, I saw that 4.7 has a huge change list...

Not too bothered by it, everything is actually working as expected now... So I dunno.

I'm going to assume the permissions are set correctly on ffmpeg and all that.

Thanks for the input.

It has nothing to do with ffmpeg. It's on the guide data refresh when unpacking your xmltv.

Well it's just weird because I got it on other things too... like at random when I'd refresh the home page, go to a video, etc... And from the logs it says EmbyServer.dll was trying to do something with ffmpeg, and then that it wasn't able to access something... But I don't really know anything about this so, you're probably right. Anyway... now at random (I didn't change ANYTHING) it just stopped doing it completely (exception of a couple extra restarts trying to trigger the error again with a smaller log to look through)...

So it seems all is working... I have no idea what's going on... Honestly, I could have just rebuilt the VM and started over again, probably would have been easier than digging through all of this lol

Either way, I thank you for your help.

Good to hear it. Thanks for the update.
