Illegal instruction on armv7l debian 9.5

[pawzlion 0]

I've tried to run Emby Server 3.5.2.0 and 3.6.0.2 armhf builds under Debian 9.5 running on an armv7l cpu but both builds simply fail to start with "Illegal instruction".

Illegal instruction

 

I keep reading people talking about mono-runtime and other dependencies in this forum, but the deb files on the download page of this site have no dependencies listed in them, nor are there any instructions anywhere indicating that users have to install dependencies such as mono to use Emby Server. Nevertheless I have installed imagemagick, libsqlite, mediainfo and mono-runtime just in case they are required anyway, but it makes no difference. Both builds of Emby Server simply throw an illegal operation. 

 

This is an ARMv7 rev 1 processor (armv7l) running armhf packages throughout. Surely that's identical to all the other ARM cpus that people are using to run this software.

 

Since it fails so completely I can't get any more debugging information out of it than this. Just for comparison's sake I've include the "file" output for both the EmbyServer binary and the host command on my system just to prove they are both the same type of executable linked to the same interpreter. All the dynamic libraries that EmbyServer is linked against are there.

 

Is there anything more I can do ? Everything looks like it's checking out in terms of both of these packages being the correct binary for the platform, but "Illegal instruction" when you run them tends to suggest they're not.

hi @@pawzlion, we have a new beta up. Would you mind trying that and letting me know how that compares? Thanks.
