Installed emby, won't start

[shagia 0]

Hey all, recently I've installed Emby through the stable release channel on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, the install was successful (Emby responds without error when you type in it's command on a terminal), but I can't connect to the 8096 port for some reason, and it doesn't seem to be taken by Emby either. Connecting to the port after restarting the Emby service just throws me a "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" error. I've even opened the ports 8096 to 8920 on my router, still nothing. I successfully started a server on 8096 by doing:

nc -l 8096

This brought back browser information when I connected to the port even though Emby was running, I thought. I even checked out the emby-server.log file, and it's just nothing. So now, I assume Emby just isn't doing anything. 

 

Edit: still writing this post, but I just tried to check the service status on emby-server, and I got this:

pi@RaPi:~ $ service emby-server status
 emby-server.service - Emby Media Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service; disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2016-04-24 20:16:36 UTC; 11min ago
  Process: 5544 ExecStopPost=/usr/bin/emby-server clear (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 5484 ExecStart=/usr/bin/emby-server start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 5484 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Not exactly sure what to do at this point after looking at so many forum topics and fixes, so I'm hoping I can get it solved here , I'm still pretty new to linux / bash so I'm unaware if there's anymore commands that can possibly pass anyone more information on this issue.

update, I reinstalled through the same repo, and although Emby is still failing to run, I'm finally getting some info in my log:

Hi, thank you for your resilience. I have a feeling it's the same issue as this:

 

http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/33725-dockerserver-keeps-crashing/&do=findComment&comment=324167

 

And I pushed a fix to master for that today. Thanks!
