Emby suddenly stopped working.

[js28194 39]

Do you know how to attach the file? Specifically the EmbyServer.txt file? I am assuming you do since you know how to use a puter to take a screen shot.  It's the big "Drag Files here to attach" right below where you are posting.  I'm not sure why you haven't so far.   See the screen shot below.

I sent the screen shot of the files within the log folder because I don't know which one to attach. I appreciate the help, but sarcasm is not needed. As you can see on the screenshot I've attached there is not a specific file labeled  "EmbyServer.txt".

Hi yes, it's the very top file. You do not display file extensions so in your case it's just called "embyserver"

embyserver.txt

Try deleting the ACdb plugin and then start the server.

C:\Users\jason\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\plugins\ACdb.dll

It is still not working after deleting both of the ACdb.dll files.

If you restarted the server then there would be a new log file. Are you sure that you did that?

[Zenith Media 3]

Yes. I can not login to emby, I restarted it from the hidden icons area of the pc.

When I try to open a browser with emby, it shows up the same as the screenshots that I posted originally.

What exactly happens when you try?

Right and I asked you a question earlier, which of those 4 bullet point options do you intend to proceed with? For example, try clicking the link in the first one.

[Zenith Media 3]

I have tried all of them.

I’m assuming you are on a windows machine and you’re talking about the taskbar icon in the bottom right hand side…

What happens when you right select on the emby server icon like you did when you rebooted the server but select ‘Configure Emby’ instead?

This should open up a browser using the local host and the configured Emby port.

If this doesn’t open then there’s potentially something seriously wrong with your local firewall or anti-malware software. There was also a windows update back in October 2025 (KB5066835) that caused some local host issues for HTTP/2
