Starting Emby Server launches browser/web app - Fedora Plasma 44

[rckymtnrfc 0]

I've recently moved from Windows to Linux on my main desktop and decided to ditch Windows on my media center PC as well. 

I installed Emby Server via the command line using the follow command, so I think it's a Flatpak installation.  I'm new to Linux so not 100% on that.

 curl https://pkg.emby.media/get.sh | sh

Emby Server version is 4.9.5.0.

Everything is working great except when I reboot the PC and the Emby server starts up on boot, it also opens up my browser and loads the Emby web interface.  I'd like to make that stop doing that.

I searched and found some references to a server setting that says "Launch the Emby web app in my web browser when Emby Server starts".  Except I can't find this setting anywhere.

I did remove the Emby Server start up from the Autostart applications and that did stop the browser launch, but also prevented the server from starting automatically.  Manually starting the server then causes the browser to open.

Any help would be appreciated because I'm lost on where to look next to resolve this.  TIA!

Hi, we only launch it on windows and macOS, so that's why you won't see that option on Linux.

If it's launching with flatpak then it's likely due to the way we're declaring it in the flatpak manifest. Or it might be flatpak doing it and it's not even something we can control. We'll have to look into it. 

You could also try the native linux package for your platform, if we have one.

To my knowledge the one command to rule them all does not install flatpak for Fedora, it should be installing native RPM packages. I was looking at the setup-dnf.sh script referenced by get.sh.

Having said that, did you look at what the auto start entry you removed was actually for? It should create a systemd service emby-server.service which is completely independent of any browser launching, and it should be enabled by default I think.
