SecureChannelFailure on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p8

[pryoclastic 6]

Hello,

 

I am new to emby because of this thread:

 

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/emby-instead-of-plex.63163/

 

FreeBSD is my preferred OS and generally speaking emby has been running as expected.

 

Recently the "SecureChannelFailure" error message has been popping up.  I read the synology thread where mono should be 4.8.1+ so I updated my BSD box:

 

root@emby:/ # pkg info | grep mono
emby-server-3.2.60.0           Home media server built using mono and other open source technologies
mono-4.8.1.0_2                 Open source implementation of .NET Development Framework

 

without success.

 

 

Check for application updates failed.

a minute ago

Error: SecureChannelFailure (The authentication or decryption has failed.)

 

 

 

I also read where mono has been abandoned for emby is that correct?  If so, it does not appear that the port maintainer(s) got the memo:

 

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/master/multimedia/emby-server

 

I'm not complaining just trying make sure I understand what is in play.

 

Is there another work around for the securechannelfailure error?

 

Thanks!

Github updated their TLS requirements. I think the FreeBSD package might need a newer mono version but we're not sure yet. In any event, this will not impact any core functions of emby server, only the notification to tell you if a new version is available.

Understood on TLS requirements.

 

Honestly, it is a non-issue as the pkg maintainers are behind the in the rev level anyway.

 

I am more interested in the mono vs non-mono comments.  (not FreeNAS .. I dont know if that makes a difference or not)  Does the non-mono apply to the FreeBSD version?

We haven't abandoned mono but we are moving to .net core on as many platforms as we possibly can. In the next month or two we're going to try this process to build the .net core runtime for freebsd:

 

https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/building/freebsd-instructions.md

 

Not sure how successful that will be yet but we'll see.

We don't yet have support for building managed code on FreeBSD, so you'll need a Windows machine with clones of both the CoreCLR and CoreFX projects.

 

dude.

That's fine, it won't bother us.
