Plugins fail to load with "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007054F): An internal error occurred"

Hi, I noticed when trying to install OpenSubtitles that plugin loading seems completely broken for me. Error seems to be a generic COMException which I don't know how to decipher. Here is relevant debug log:

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

[yanofsky 1]

I posted the complete log at: https://gist.github.com/ryanofsky/e4ed2f8851460d62c13cd4aa7f657e2a, since I didn't see an option to attach files here.

 

Thanks for your help!

Here is a newer server log: https://gist.github.com/ryanofsky/e0d1333b9badb47222a6fc28fb9603f4

 

I noticed the previous log had "NetworkInformationException" errors caused by a bad sysfs mount. They seem to be unrelated and are gone after restarting. Unfortunately the "COMException (0x8007054F): An internal error occurred" errors remain and still no plugins are loaded.

What platform and install package is this? How did you install emby server?

[yanofsky 1]

Issue is resolved now. Strangely, this turned out to be caused by bad permissions on /dev/zero:

# ls -al /dev/zero
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 5 Nov 28 23:36 /dev/zero

which I found by running emby under strace and seeing:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/zero", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

after it read each plugin DLL file. Fix was simple:

# chmod a+rw /dev/zero

I'm using the NixOS 3.5.3.0 package from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/servers/emby/default.nix. It's working well now but thanks for your help, and thank you for all your work on Emby!

Thanks for the feedback !
