Hi,

 

Wjen I try to install emby server on Debian 8 (wheezy), these deps errors are reported 

 

sudo apt-get install emby-server

Are you certain you are using the right repo?

Remark : There was an error in my previous post (version wheezy --> jessie)

 

I have been able to resolve the issue after adding the missing repo to install mono (4.2.3.4)

 

Here are the instructions that I have executed on my Pi3 machine (= Raspbian OS - Debian Jessie)

 

== Install Emby Server Repo & Key

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/Debian_8.0/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby-server.list
wget -qO - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:emby/Debian_8.0/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update 


== Install Mono Repo & Key 

echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install emby-server

I get this error now when it starts

Hello

 

Did you consult your log ? please ?

Problem resolved after extending the root partition as it was full.

 

Question : Can you update Emby Server doc to mention that mono repo is required to install Emby for Debian 8 Jessie ? This is also required too to install ffmpeg as the repo is not there by default too ?
