Updated to 4.8.11.0 on TrueNas Core 13 - Can't access server

[cgcmgr 28]

Hi everyone,

 

I decided to update my two Emby servers this morning form 4.8.10.0 to 4.8.11.0.  

I started updating one server and it was missing dependency mbedtls2.  So I ran the command pkg install mbedtls2 and the dependency installed.  It didn't take too long.  I then ran the command

pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.8.11.0/emby-server-freebsd13_4.8.11.0_amd64.pkg

To update to version 4.8.11.0 of Emby.  It installed and updated fine and everything seems to be working properly.

 

I then did the same for another Emby server that I have.  I also had to update the mbedtls2 dependency, but for some reason, this one went through a lot of downloading and installing and took much longer that the previous server.  It eventually completed and I updated the server to 4.8.11.0 using the same command as above.  For some reason, I can no longer access the server.  It shows as being up in TrueNAS, but it continues to refuse connection.  I have restarted TrueNas and restarted the Jail, but I cannot access the server.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Chris

I found something interesting.  I went through the steps again and accessed the server via the TreuNAS Shell and typed service emby-server stop.  Instead of saying "Stopping emby-server, it now says "emby-server not running?"

I figured I'd type service emby-server start to make sure it is running and it says "Starting emby-server."  I still can't access the server though.  I then tried to stop it again with the command service emby-server stop and I still get the response "emby-server not running?"

It seems as if the server is not starting.  I'm guessing that's why I can't accecss it.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi, we are looking into this. Thanks.

Aside from mbedtls2 being required vice mbedtls3, the server will not start as an exception is thrown:

Yep discussion in other topics as a new plugin update should resolve that issue.

Read through the linked posts, but still not sure how to resolve this.  Is the new TVDB.dll for Emby 4.8.11.0 as well or only for 4.9.0.41 beta?

 

@_NoName_ - You wrote "Aside from mbedtls2 being required vice mbedtls3, the server will not start as an exception is thrown:."  Are you saying I also need to install the mbedtls3 dependency?  If the answer is yes, what exactly is the name of the dependency?  Is it mbedtls3 or vice mbedtls3?

@Luke- Will there be a a new 4.8.11.0 or newer that will address this issue for TrueNas Core 13?

Thanks.  I had already read that post, but copying the new TVDB.dll over did not resolve the issue.  What I find weird is that for one Emby server, when I tried to update to 4.8.11.0 , I got a message that said I needed mbedtls2, so I installed mbedtls2 and then updated without issue.

The other server also wouldn't update without mbedtls2, so I installed it and then updated to 4.8.11.0.  The server won't start.  Not sure if it's the TVDB.dll causing the issue or not.  It just seems like a lot more installed for the 2nd server when updating mbedtls2 than it did for the 1st server.

The plugin update will resolve the tvdb related issue. It obviously will have no impact on mbedtls.

@dariot set it up on you pc Quick Start

Than you have a server, then rip you BR or dvds to add them to you server.

@cgcmgrDid you ever get this fixed?

[cgcmgr 28]

Hello, I did.  It's been a while, so I have to look back at what I did.  I'm pretty sure I wrote down steps to follow in case I run into this issue again.  I'll look for it and post when I find it.

@cgcmgrwere you able to find it?

Hey guys.  Here is a different post where nmalinoski helped me out to get this to work - 

 

 

Basically, I had to create a 13.1 Jail in my TrueNAS 13, install Emby 4.8.11.0 into that Jail and then copy my Emby backup over.  This worked and I now have Emby 4.8.11.0 running in a 13.1 Jail.  I was unable to get Emby to work inside a 13.4 or 13.5 Jail on my machine.  I was able to get it to work on a test machine using a 13.4 Jail, not sure why.    See nmalinoski's post on April 22nd and mime form April 30th.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
