Server crashing instantly on start (Ubuntu 14.4)

[gholaday 0]

I'm not sure what to do

 

Emby was working fine for about a week and all of a sudden it wont start. I run 

sudo service emby-server start

and by the time I can search for the pid its gone. Even stranger is that it isnt dumping any logs. Theres about 20 blank logs in my folder. I tried reinstalling with apt-get as well and no dice...

 

Any ideas?

 

Heres the last log I have before the blank files and it stopped working.

Hi, try rebooting your system. In addition while you're at it I would  update to the latest version of Emby Server.

 

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

I managed to fix it by doing a full reinstall, but the problem came back again today

 

Im also already on the latest version of emby server

Ok, please try removing any installed plugins. Thanks.

I also did a full system reboot and that seems to have fixed it. Hopefully it lasts longer than 2 days, I have many things running on my server so its a big pain to reboot it. I also dont have any plugins installed.

Well it happened again. When I run the service it immediately stops and it seems that only rebooting my server fixes it. I might have to bite the bullet and go back to Plex if thats the case. Any ideas? It doesnt even create a log

If you're able to upgrade ubuntu to at least xenial we've dropped the mono runtime and switched to .NET Core. It is considerably more stable and faster:

Im on 14.4 "Trusty Tahr" right now. I think I will do that. Can I install it all from the cmd line? Im running a headless server

As far as upgrading ubuntu i'm not sure, but the new emby package yes.

It's just a standard distro upgrade, so yes.  Emby can be done via cli as well.

Does this mean there is a non-mono version of Emby server available?
