emby-server service won't start automatically anymore

[landry 0]

Hi,
my emby-server was running ok for monthes until recently : it won't start automatically anymore, but starts flawlessly manually.

 

Here is the status of emby-service after system boot-up.

~ sudo systemctl status emby-server
● emby-server.service - Emby brings together your videos, music, photos, and live television.
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Seems like there's a problem with /run/systemd/unit-root/dev/dri. But I don't know what's this directory supposed to be ?

It runs fine after I type: sudo systemctl start emby-server
Any clue ?

Hi, do you know what version you currently have installed?

Are you on Arch Linux? Do you perhaps have no graphics card?

Hi, I have version `emby-server 4.4.2.0-1` installed.

Hi, I'm on Manjaro. Here is my config:

You do have a graphics card then, does the `/dev/dri` directory exist?

I had this problem too. The systemd unit file on the arch linux community repo is wrong.

 

Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service

and change

ReadWritePaths=/dev/dri

to

#ReadWritePaths=/dev/dri
