Latest Version Available in TOS App Center

[richt 102]

The latest Emby version showing in the Terramaster App Center is 4.9.0.72.  Will there be updates to their system anytime soon?

Hi, yes we are working on getting this updated. Thanks.

@Luke

Any news on this?  Stll cannot install any Emby instance other than 4.9.0.72.

 

BTW, Terramaster TOS 7 will be released tomorrow.

We have submitted 4.9.5 to them and are just waiting. Thanks.

Maybe you can also email their support and ask them to release it?

@Luke

Opened forum post with Terramaster and got this response. No further updates at this time.

@LukeWhile I am sure the Emby team is busy, it would be great to see this issue addressed.  The last message I had from the Terramaster was that they had identified some "transcoding and video streaming compatibility issues" and were working closely with Emby to troubleshoot them.  This causes me to wonder if the unresolved transcoding issues I had reported to Emby previously might also be addressed.   Any update on progress would be appreciated.

@Luke- Any progress on this issue?

[Luke 42858]

Well it looks like they finally released it.

And just a couple days after I decided to switch to Emby's beta on TM NAS.  Currently running Emby in Docker.  So I'll have to wait on the release of 4.10 now,

Thanks for the follow up.

So I rolled back my database (actually rolled back to a snapshot before upgrading to beta) and made sure I had a working 4.9.5.0 install, but the change to the TM app store version of 4.9.5.0 did not go so well.  

Downloaded 4.9.5 from TM app store and installed it, HOWEVER this doesn't work as the build is NOT correctly setting the APP_DATA_DIR. It is instead using the folder "/Volume1/@apps/emby/emby-server/-ffdetect/"

Following a suggestion from another post on the Emby forums I edited the file "/Volume1/@apps/emby/emby-server/bin/emby-server" and replaced the line

-programdata $APP_DATA_DIR/
with
-programdata $APP_DATA_DIR/Volume1/Emby \

This seems to indicate that a previous line in the same file does not correctly set $APP_DATA_DIR
APP_DATA_DIR=$(ter_share_add -name "Emby")

The build as supplied by the TM App Store is broken.

Also, hardware encoding does not work, falls back to software.

The suggested workorund

-programdata $APP_DATA_DIR/

with

-programdata /Volume1/Emby \

did the trick, but it's strange how this can happen with an app from the store. I hope a fix will be out very soon.

Right they must have changed where data is located.

@LukeSomething changed that may be related to how TOS 7 is processing the install as this is the SAME error I reported to you on the previous 4.9.x builds.  IMO, Emby should not pass over this as a TM problem, but work together with TM to find out WHY this is happening.  

edit - Until that happens, it seems Emby users on the TM platform are going to be frustrated and left in limbo as both the install and hardware transcoding are broken.
