[Racerprose 29]

It seems to be TerraMaster don't believe this needs to be fixed on their end and instead it is up to Emby devs to fix @Luke

Version 4.9.5.0.02 from tos store

tos - 7.0.0804

Replacing the line doesn’t fix it for me.

 

In the 2nd line, remove the space between "$APP_DATA_DIR" and "/Volume1/Emby"

The line should look like this

  -programdata $APP_DATA_DIR/Volume1/Emby \

So, I honestly have no idea what TerraMaster changed there, but I installed Emby 4.10.0.23 beta from the Emby website, changed that line (by the way, I left the space there exactly as it was), and all my libraries, users, and settings came back.

Now I’m not even sure what to do next Should I keep experimenting, uninstall the beta and try the version from the TOS Store again? Or maybe install the stable version from the Emby website instead?

Or should I just leave it alone and stay on the beta since everything is working perfectly now and I’m happy with it?

I've passed the info on to our build and packaging developer for review. They have made similar fixes in the past in silent fashion so it wouldn't be the first time.

Well, I decided to keep experimenting

I changed the directory back to the default one, removed the permissions from the system emby user, and then uninstalled Emby with the option to remove the configuration as well. The beta version was removed successfully.

Then I installed the 4.9.5.0.02 version from the TOS Store again, immediately stopped the server, changed the directory to the correct one:

-programdata $APP_DATA_DIR/Volume1/Emby \

and started the server again.

And, surprisingly, everything came back — and now everything works! Videos play normally and there are no more streaming errors.

So now the question is: what should I do from here? Who actually needs to fix this — TerraMaster or Emby? And is it correct/safe to leave the programdata path like this permanently?

The 4.10.0.24 beta build has incorporated a permissions change that terramaster sent to us.
