On unraid I see three different Emby Docker versions. Is there anywhere that mentions the merits of each?

What three?

[vaise 340]

Maybe they mean the 'official', and the copied.  Personally I go with the official - makes it easier to get suport from the emby devs.

I am using unraid as my home server and have a years old Docker from Emby running (linuxserver repo). But it is on beta version and I want to switch to the original repository from you and down to 4.7 stable.

How can I migrate without losing all users, settings, metadata and libraries? To have as little impact and manual effort as possible?

Thanks in advance!

Just three different repositories with added variables for easy use of, for example nvidia transcoding etc.

Downgrading isn't officially supported and you are VERY likely to run into issues when doing so.  I would wait until 4.8 official is released and try to switch from beta to official branch then, before any 4.9 update starts being tested on the beta branch.  Make sure to make a backup before you try.  I'd also make a backup of your current state now to have as well in case a 4.9 does appear on beta before you switch.

I started using proxmox not long ago, so far it's been rock solid. Even using hassio on the same server.

can not delete movie from emby interface. 

    environment:
      - UMASK=0000
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
1000 is the Pid and uid of the  owner of the media folder

In your example the UMASK only applies to files and directories created by PUID 1000 and does nothing to grant permissions on existing files and directories owned by others.

For permissions on existing files and directories start here:

The file itself must also have w permissions for the 1000 user. If that's the case and it still doesn't work, it could be that you're mounting the volume as read-only in docker, or on the host itself, or something like SELinux or AppArmor could be interfering depending on your distribution. You can try disabling the one you have, if any, then look for a better way to give enough permissions without disabling the thing if it works.

im using debian.  should I just give 777?  or 666? 

[alucryd 315]

If user 1000 already owns the file, 644 is enough.

How can I disable the hardware scanning process on the server? It runs constantly and consumes system resources. I have to kill this process in the server control panel, otherwise it takes forever. I am attaching the log.

I don't need hardware transcoding!

Thank you!

That looks like the media scan and not related to hardware transcoding. It's identifying and collecting metadata for your media which can take a long time for very big libraries. The hardware detection runs on Emby server startup and takes seconds to complete.

 

[hapylestat 10]

It is media library scan, as it states.  How long it executes?   

 

The screenshoot  mention 24 secs of CPU time for the Emby process

I went to check a system log and discovered all my logs (plus alerts and activities) are all showing date and time as 01/01/1970 10:00:00. What have I done or need to change to fix this? My system time is correct.

That's what the dotnet runtime thinks the system time is, so I would check the timezone of the docker container.

Thanks for the quick response. I couldn't see any timezone settings in the docker so I deleted and reinstalled. When reinstalling I could see my correct timezone was used. The date is still 1970 within Emby but when I download and read a log the date in the log is correct. Is there something else I can try?

That is well above anything I can understand. I'll just let it be as it doesn't seem to be causing any issues, thanks for trying to help.

Anyone been able to upgrade to 4.8 on Docker/Unraid? The dashboard shows that there is an update, but I can get it to come up in docker. Using the official Emby image with this tag in the template "emby/embyserver:latest"

[Q-Droid 989]

The latest tag for the LSIO image references the new stable release 4.8.0(.80).

The latest tag for the Emby official image references the old stable release 4.7.14.

They don't push every server version out at the same time, docker is usually up within a day or two.  You can see what versions are pushed out on the official docker image here.  https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver/tags

I'm not exactly sure how to interpret that but it seems like it says it's out? Oh well I don't need to complicate things it will come when it does
