installed but it will not start

[keithterrill 2]

Running Linux Mint 18.

 

Emby came up in the browser but wouldn't work right.

 

I uninstalled the emby server.

I deleted the user and group for the emby.

I created a new user and group for the emby.

I downloaded emby-server-deb_3.5.2.0_amd64.

I installed it using the debian installer.

 

Now I cannot get it to come up in the browser.

 

http://192.168.x.x:8096/

 

gives:

 

This site can’t be reached

192.168.1.134 refused to connect.

Hi there, can you please attach the emby server log? thanks.

[keithterrill 2]

I cannot find a log. I don't believe the service started. I cannot figure out how to start it.

[Luke 42078]

Can you supply the complete terminal output? thanks.

I dont know if it is related but i remember someone else on the forum having an issue with emby that created the emby user first. If you dont mind humoring me delete the emby user, uninstall emby then re-install emby without making the emby user first.

Thanks. Let's see what the full terminal output says.

After it is installed it should start automatically, since it is having an issue the following commands might be useful:

sudo service emby-server status

sudo service emby-server start 

 

the default directory for emby logs might be: /var/lib/emby/logs but when it comes to linux things can vary from distribution to distribution.

I imagine it would be useful to try sudo emby-server start and paste the output here.

I can ping the ip address which is myself, but...

 

Still getting "This site can't be reached"

 

There is no /var/lib/emby/ folder.

Thanks. Let's see what the full terminal output says.

 

I am not sure what you are asking for. If I open the terminal.... then what?

[keithterrill 2]

I figured out the problem. The emby was not fully installing. It failed because when I uninstalled and then removed the user:group the group emby was left. It had a "hidden" user of emby.

 

Logging in to a terminal and then running:

$ sudo deluser emby
$ sudo delgroup emby

Then reinstalling the emby... that did the trick.

 

At lest we are now scanning libraries.

thanks for the feedback.
