Emby not starting - Emby Server is loading. Please try again shortly.

Hi

The last two days my Emby server has died. I am running Emby on a Windows 2008 R2 Server (WHS 2011). 

I've tried rebooting several times but Emby now does not work. 

I cannot see any Errors in the Emby server log. 

I am running Emby with the system tray app not as a Windows service. 

Any ideas how to fix this ? 

Thanks

 

Actually I've just seen this error in the log:

Hello cw-kid,

Try shutting down Emby and reinstalling Emby right on top your current version.

Let us know if this helps or not.  If not please upload the the emby server log as an attachment so we can look at the whole log.

Thanks

Its back up now. Seemed to be related to DVBLink that service wasn't running. 

Hopefully that fixes it. 

 

Thanks

Let us know if you need additional assistance.
