Emby 4.9.1.0 Beta in TrueNas Community Edition 25.04

[Neminem 1516]

Tbh I don't use TrueNAS so could care less.

It just feels strange that they can't use what's given to them.

To me it seams lazy

I use Docker with those tags, and they work.

But anyway good luck.

This entire situation feels strange to me man, i just want to see it get fixed. I could probably figure out how to set up my own docker thing and install Emby that way but it wouldn't fix things for anyone else who wants to just use Emby now and in the future.

Yes its sad to see users being held hostages by this sh#t show.

I did try TrueNAS a couple of years ago, ohh my they where not the most welcoming people.

When seeking help on there forum.

Reddid much worse.

So I guess this is still true when you ask for help at there forum.

Apparently the "standard way" of showing something is a beta is by doing it like that some (one was one of the Truenas staff) have said over there. After you said you weren't aware of such a naming scheme (with the version number ending in 0) I told them that over there so i don't know if they still adhere to do it like that. I did tell them it would be like that for 4.9.5.0 but also that i had no idea if the naming scheme would stay like that.

I mean this is kinda what happens when people have to play telephone between 2 places and not knowing the thoughts behind answers given. I'll tell em what you said here and see what the response is over there.

 

EDIT: Before me and others noted seeing a release being tagged as beta on the Truenas forum and we asked if that was good enough which yielded this response. Don't know if it's usefull but want to make sure as much information as possible gets across.

 

If you wish to talk to them directly then this is the forumpost over there https://forums.truenas.com/t/emby-stable-train-is-back-in-beta/55522/38

 

I don't want us to be bound to certain numbers just on account of one platform, but right now it is the least disruptive option available. So for that reason it makes sense to just do that.

In my experience you need to be lucky with who sees your post. I've had people be very helpfull as in pointing me to the right guides, even if those guides aren't up to date, i could figure it out still. And i've had the snobbish Linux replies where they basically consider you a total idiot for not knowing everything they know. And some in between, i've used Truenas since it's Freenas days back on FreeBSD. It really depends who sees your post like i said.

 

I'll post that on the forum then @Lukeso they know that this is how it will be for the forseeable future.

previously they had said they need version numbers ending in .0. We gave them that with 4.9.3.0 and will again soon with 4.9.5.0. I think for an immediate fix they should adopt that.

OK this is progress.

 

@Luke- Here is the regex that Truenas uses to decide versions:

 customVersioning(
      // 1.2.3.0, but not 1.2.3.4 (4th digit != 0 equals beta)
      "^(?<major>\\d+)\\.(?<minor>\\d+)\\.(?<patch>\\d+)\\.0$",
      ["emby/embyserver"],
    ),

If you guys stick with this, I think this whole problem goes away!
