Upgrade to 4.4.3 Now Emby wont start

[Rockytoptim 0]

So I am running Emby on Ubuntu VM via ESXI.  I upgraded from 4.42. to  4.4.3 and Emby wont start.  Below is status from command line output " service emby-server status"

Attached is the Emby log file from /var/lib/emby/logs  but it only shows that the server was shutdown and there is no log for the restart to show what is wrong.  I uninstalled 4..4.3 and reinstalled still same behavior.  Any help would be appreciated.

Output from sudo service emby-server status

It looks like it might be permissions related. Was 4.4.2 running as the emby user? Who owns /var/lib/emby?

So i unistalled 4.4.3 and install 4.42 still same issues.  So I then purged 4.4.2 install, sudo apt purge emby-server, and reinstalled 4.4.3.  Emby started this time.  currently doing restore from plugin and and rebuilding library.
