Getting this error when loading up emby


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

"Could not find a part of the path '\dashboard-ui\index.html'."

 

Emby also seems to have deleted its shortcut randomly. This has happened twice now.

 

I'm not sure what version I was on but I had it set to auto-update. I believe I was on the beta.

 

Also for some reason I can't uninstall Emby. It says "An error occurred while trying to uninstall Emby Server. It may have already been uninstalled". I really don't want to reinstall it since I have a ton of settings and don't remember them. I also have a huge library so rescanning it would be a pain.

 

I'm really not sure what happened.

 

Lastly, I tried running the setup in hopes it would fix it by reinstalling the shortcut but after I see the setup window it disappears and nothing happens.

Hi there, what is the address in the browser address bar? What version of emby server?

3.6? that is a very old beta, not even a stable release. ouch. Ok well can you try installing the latest version on top of your existing version? I honestly don't know what to expect, sorry to say, given that it's an old beta. You may (or may not) have better luck starting with the 4.0.3 release first, running a full scan to update your database, and then updating to the latest.

I'm trying to reinstall but I'm getting this error:

I've already uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller which removes all traces of an app.

Strange. Does anything show up in windows event viewer about that?

Hmm. Try installing the .net framework 4.6 and see if that helps.

Going by this link, 4.8 is the latest. Shouldn't I go with that?

 

Also I swear I already had this installed but looking through my programs in the Control Panel it's not listed there. Weird.

You could try 4.8 yes. You really shouldn't have to do this at all, but since the problem is not obvious it's just something to try. Also is windows fully up to date?

As a note you can not go by the version number shown in the control panel as I would assume the is only a reflection of the version you initially installed as updates do not update that version number.  My stable in on 4.3.1.0 but control panel programs and feature shows 3.4, but a new install on my test system shows 4.3.

Just tried to install 4.8 and I apparently already had it installed :lol:

 

As for windows, it's up to date.

 

I tried going back through the crash viewer and found where it started:

I disabled it from auto starting with windows after that.

Yea I figured it was something like that. I'm pretty sure I set it to auto update so I should have been on the latest beta.

I am going to take a guess here since we are talking about beta.  This all happened with the 4.4.0.20 broken update correct?

 

What folders are in \Emby-Server folder? 

 

Have you tried getting the zip from github and extracting the system folder and replacing your current one?

I think this is exactly what happened to me. My shortcut deleted itself which is why I made this thread.

 

Unfortunately I just nuked my entire emby installation and now can't get the setup to even load as seen by my above images. Both the beta and regular setup doesn't work :(

Have no idea with install, but I would assume a portable would not have any issues, correct?  Get the beta from github or stable from download page.
