Hi, how does it compare when installing the rpm from our website?

https://emby.media/linux-server.html

The server is currently running on Debian 13. The installation went smoothly. I wanted to install the beta version of the client on a computer running Fedora. This also went smoothly with Debian using the Universal Installer, but did not work with Fedora.

I do not want to switch the server to Fedora yet.

Hi, so your original report is about the emby client or server?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you would look at the attached textfile. There you can see that it's about the client.

Hi,

Regarding the Fedora issues:

You have to install libXScrnSaver package and then you can install the rpm.
