Emby Server update version issue.

[Roendi 16]

On my Synology NAS 7.3 the Version 4.9.1.90 not working. The Website stop always when I tried to connect. I remove and reinstall the Version 4.8.1.80 and everything works fine. I do it again and the same behavior arrive. So, I go back to the Version 4.9.1.80

I see on the Version 80 other Errors.

But for me it works.

 

On the Database Settings I make a Optimisation and Vakumisation now.

 

Then I tried the Update again.

And it crash again. I revert to the 80 Version

Hi, please take a look at this and let us know if it helps get you squared away:

Corrupt Database

 thanks.

[Roendi 16]

Hi Luke

Yes the Database is very corrupt

I have different Backup but the last DB I have correctet on just 1 error

fts5: corruption found reading blob 2199023255562 from table "fts_search9"

But it would not start. So I delete more and more from the Data Folder with old backups

But now I see this Error

Application path: /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/system

This Folder not exist. I think this is now the Problem

You have inotify issues still remaining.

And that will disable Realtime monitoring.

System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource.

You can fix that by reading and doing this.

There is also some permission issues you will need to adress

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/var/packages/EmbyServer/var/config/mb.lic' is denied.
     ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

Hi neminem

Thank your for your message. I will change this this evening.

Many thanks for your support

Are you experiencing a problem, or are you just looking for one in the log file?

[Roendi 16]

Hi Luke, I restart the Server again and this Error Message is going away. The only Thing I have: I can’t save my Email Address on the Profile. But I send an Email to emby.media. like described.

Everything works now like bevor

Thanks for your Support

For this, the easiest thing to do might be to delete that file, restart the server and then reconfigure emby premiere.

Hi Luke 

The Permission issues i have fixt.

I make this:

Shut down your server.

Find the 'data' folder under your Emby Server programdata folder

find and delete the 'device.txt' file in there

re-start the server

 

Now see if it works.  Note that this will require you to re-connect all Emby Connect accounts.

 

No big problem

@Neminem

Now I see another small Problem. The Event Type Boot-up no longer exist. I feel the function come now to late

 

[Roendi 16]

Task Scheduler is working now on Startup

Sorry after long searching I found it. Sorry for that
