Problems after installing Emby Server 4.8.11.0

[JDutton 10]

I'm logged in using WINSCP and see /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA, but there is no .qpkg folder. Should there be another name for it?

FOUND IT! Here is the most recent file.

Doesn't look your 4.8.11.0 upgrade took.

2025-03-16 00:59:38.515 Info App: Application version: 4.7.13.0

But all I see in the entire log is port mapper failing.

Looks like there may a be a daylight savings time issue per this midnight rollover log also.

Can you please attach the previous few log files as well? Also it looks like you're running a very old version.

Here is all I''ve got.

OK so are you able to install a newer version? Try installing 4.8.11, then reboot the NAS as we've seen that sometimes this is necessary with QNAP.

Problem solved. I think rebooting the server was all it really needed.

Thank you!

Hello,

The reboot worked because Emby cannot be stopped properly.

There's an issue in the emby-server.sh. It uses the file /var/run/emby-server.pid to kill the current process. But this file is never created during the start.

So the stop cannot work.

I updated manually the emby-server.sh with the script below (to add in the start) part  just before ;; )

    sleep 10
    PID=$(ps -ef | grep "$QPKG_DIR"/system/EmbyServer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')
    if [ -z "$PID" ]; then
      echo "Emby is not running."
      exit 1
    fi

 

@Luke

Could you please have a look on this issue?

My bad, i forgot one line in the previous post

    sleep 10
    PID=$(ps -ef | grep "$QPKG_DIR"/system/EmbyServer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')
    if [ -z "$PID" ]; then
      echo "Emby is not running."
      exit 1
    fi
    echo "$PID" > $PID_FILE

What version did you test with?

The latest one : 4.8.11.0 (package emby-server-qnap_4.8.11.0_x86_64.qpkg)

 

[Luke 42077]

OK there are changes related to this on the 4.9 beta channel so it could be resolved there already.

Thanks for the info
