The new Emby Theater img doesn't even boot on RPI

[DCCXVIII 0]

Tried it on an SD card. Tried it on an NVME drive. Confirmed EEPROM is fully up to date. RPI5 boots fine into RPI OS (both via SD card as well as NVME). However using a flashed SD card or NVME with the Emby Theater OS available from here https://emby.media/emby-theater-rpi.html results in the RPI booting into base Arm CLI due to the fact that no OS is detected to boot from.

If Emby can't create an OS that will boot on an RPI, can we at least get a client app I can just run on top of RPI OS instead of Emby server?

Help?

Forgot to add that I used the "Use custom" option in the RPI imager and then selected the Emby img file. I assume that was correct?

Hi

Which new image ? the only one that is on Emby website has never worked (if you had done a little search before posting you would have discovered

So far we are all waiting on the new version of the Linux/Pi player but it's still in dev unhappy so you just have to wait...

So wait. The link I showed which is on the official website as supporting RPI doesn't work (even though it wasn't there before and came out recently as far as I can tell so I naturally assumed they had finally got it working and thus published it on the OFFICIAL WEBSITE???)? Why the hell is it advertised as working then? That's not on me. That's on Emby for not taking the page down or at the very least, editing it to say they are working on it. Smells like false advertising to me.

SMH.

HI, wea re working on a new linux app, so stay tuned:

Our recommendation for now would be to use the debian package.
