How do I install the new update?

[Pain 13]

Emby has a update but I do not see it in the synology yet. Do we wait till its available like normal?

Hi, see my response here:

Thanks.

[Pain 13]

@Luke
 I seen that but still not clear on how to update it. Emby is not installed in a docker.

[Luke 42077]

Have you explored the downloads -> NAS page?

[Pain 13]

Yes I did it's been so long I don't even remember how I installed it and it looks to be different now.

[mikeraburn 71]

I understand the update procedure but I Googled to see what ARM I have and I am totally confused. 

Nothing jumps out at me.

Model DS216play

CPU STM Monaco STiH412

CPU Clock Rate 1.5GHZ

Which ARM version do I grab??

Thank you

[Pain 13]

@Luke Can someone explain the update procedure?

You simply shutdown the server and install the new version over the top using the instructions on the website.

@Luke thank you. Which one do I download? I have DS218+

Is that a 64-bit celeron?

From what I read its Intel Celeron J3355.. After googling, it is a dual-core 64-bit x86 desktop microprocessor.

So you can use the x64 package. I'm going to update the download page to make it easier to determine which package to use depending on your model.

[Pain 13]

Thank you... Shes updated and running fine..

Thank you very much

On my DS216play I am getting a package message when doing the manual update

This package is not supported on the platform of DiskStation or is incompatible with the DSM version

DSM Version: DSM6.2.3-25426 update2

I ran the Update  & Restore and it tells me I am up to date.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Ok so for now you can stay on 4.4.3 and keep an eye on this topic:

 

 

[Pain 13]

@Luke can I ask why the update had to be installed this way? Just curious is all and will this be the new norm? Thanks for the update!

[Luke 42077]

This is the new norm, at least until we're listed in the Synology app store and then you can use that. That's something we are simultaneously working on. But the sideload spk's will always be available for those who don't want to wait for release to go through the Synology review process, as well as those who test the beta builds.

Unfortunately it does not work on my old DS216+II (64-bit, Celeron).

It installs okay, with no errors but will not start. Rebooted NAS and the same.

Cannot find the log path.

Get as far as: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/

Then there is no var folder after .../target/

So cannot find: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/logs.

Need this up today so uninstalled and reinstalling older version from package center.

Hopefully my backup with work for settings.

 

UPDATE:

Older 4.4.3.0 version back on and backup worked well. Now scanning all media folders. Would be great if there was a tool to back up these settings/database too.

 

I tried:

Uninstalling Emby, reinstalling 4.4.3.0 community version and then, before configuration, installing 4.5.0.50 - Did not work.

Uninstalling Emby, reinstalling 4.4.3.0 community version and then, before configuration, installing beta 4.5.0.30 - Did not work.

Uninstalling Emby, and then installing 4.5.0.50 without 4.4.3.0 - Did not work.

Uninstalling Emby, and then installing beta 4.5.0.30 without 4.4.3.0 - Did not work.

Everytime the install completes without errors. Emby starts for about 2 seconds (shows as running) and then stops.

Could not find the logs in expected place and in a rush to get this running again so no time to search for them,
