Emby Server Won't Launch

[Xplorer4x4 1]

For some reason, my server decided to stop working, so I decided to remove and reinstall Emby server but now I can't get it to launch using systemctl. If I check the status using systemctl I get this error:

I check for media_files and it does indeed not exist. However, the emby-server file is present in /usr/bin. I am using CachyOS. How can I fix this?
