Version 3.0.5913.0 - Can't Install New Plugins or Remove Installed Ones

[DarWun 349]

I'm currently running Beta Version 3.0.5913.0 on Windows 10 Pro TH2.  I haven't tried to install a Plugin from the catalog since the initial setup of my server several months ago.  So I'm not sure when exactly this became an issue.  But after purchasing a TV tuner over the weekend, I tried to install the "Next PVR" plugin from the Emby catalog.  When I clicked install for the most recent stable release of the plugin, a "Confirm Plugin Installation" screen popped up asking me to click OK to proceed.  When I clicked OK, the popup closed down but the installation did not start.  When I clicked on "Install" again, nothing happened.  If I navigated to another page and then went back to the plugin catalog, clicking on "Install" once again resulted in the confirmation popup.  But the plugin still did not install when I clicked OK.  There is no error in the log file indicating what went wrong.

 

After some experimentation I found that I could not install any plugin that has the confirmation popup preceding the installation.  One such plugin that I successfully managed to install was "Server Restart".  Which lead to the next problem.  I can't uninstall the "Server Restart" plugin.  If I select the uninstall option, I get the confirmation popup asking me to click OK to proceed.  Doing so results in the popup closing, but the plugin is not uninstalled.  The result is the same when I try to uninstall any of the other installed plugins. 

 

I have tried this using both Internet Explorer and Edge.  The result is the same.  I've attached the log file.  The last two things I did before saving it were installing and uninstalling plugins.

Log file missing.  You can always manually remove plugins via the plugin folder (Emby-Server\plugins), just shutdown the server and move/delete the plugin dll.

 

 

Didn't have an issue installing, running, or uninstalling "Server Restart" plugin.  Installed and uninstalled Next PVR and Tunein also to test without issue.

Whoops.  I browsed to the log file when I created the original post.  But I didn't hit the attach button.  That has been corrected.

 

I did figure out how to manually uninstall the plugins.  But I haven't found a way to manually install new ones from outside of the Emby GUI.  Based on the fact that I haven't seen a single post about this issue from other users, I suspect it is due to something atypical with my server setup that will require a reinstall of the server.  Hopefully the log file contains something that will point someone smarter than myself towards a less time consuming solution.

This is another browser issue, Installs and uninstall are not working from IE, Edge, or Firefox.  But work fine in Chrome.

That's unfortunate.  Hopefully there is a fix for this coming in the future.  I don't really want to install Chrome just so I can get the plugins working again.  I'm a bit surprised there is an issue with Edge though, given the annoying pop-up that comes up every time I start Emby reminding me that I should try it ;-)

Thank you for testing Emby pre-release versions.

It is a beta so yes we should see a fix in the near future.

Thank you for testing Emby pre-release versions.

The issue has been resolved by the Beta release 5917 update.  It may been fixed before this, but I'm not entirely sure as I think I missed a couple interim beta releases between 5913 and 5917.
