CentOS 7, Emby not running

[acrylic 0]

Hi guys,

 

Having some trouble, I previously had it installed, but it never worked so I uninstalled. The service runs for a moment then fails with the following:

# systemctl status emby-server
● emby-server.service - Emby Media Server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-02-28 00:43:09 CET; 385ms ago
  Process: 2397 ExecStopPost=/usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh clear (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 2341 ExecStart=/usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 2341 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

There is nothing for "emby" in /var/logs - apologies if it should be elsewhere, I will provide upon request.

 

Configs below:

# Defaults for emby initscript

Hi,

 

I am now seeing this (wasn't before)

 

User "emby" is on the sudoers list.

Hi @@acrylic, did you follow the installation instructions on the website?

 

I did yes, multiple times to the letter

[dcrdev 255]

I'm guessing might be selinux - if you can run the process as root.

 

Try following my instructions here:

Hi.

I am a linux certified and I am using it in CentOS 7 64 bits.

 

Your problem is that you created the user emby (uid=1000) manually before the install process (uid=933).

 

I recommend you to install a new one (try it first in a VM if you want)

 

The installation procedure is very simple:
- Install CentOS (disable firewall and selinux)

- Install ffmpeg

- Install emby-server

 

Use the EMBY repository for CentOS to install via yum.
