Emby service won't start

[Bernie V 7]

Hi guys,

 

The Emby service won't start anymore due to Unable to open env file: /etc/environment: No such file or directory. This the output when checking the Emby service:

Has someone an idea?

Well does /etc/environment exist?  If not, touch /etc/environment

Creating doesn't solve the problem to start the service.

In attachement the logfile.

Go here

/var/lib/emby-server/plugins

Remove all plugin dlls and see if that allows it to start. If the issue persists, try installing on top of your existing install just in case any installation files may have been tampered with. Let us know if this helps. Thanks !

Thx, the last.fm plugin dll caused the issue. Problem solved!
