Dietpi: Emby Server

[were55]

Hello, I'm trying to install Emby server on RPi 2 but I have some problems, I tried different sources with the same error:
Apt-get has failed:

• Apt string = emby-server embymagick
• Error code = 100
• Software Title = Emby Server: web interface media streaming server

Hi,

Thanks for the report 👍

I'll try to replicate.

Unable to replicate on fresh install.

Issue may be limited to your current installation/package combination. We'll need your assistance to debug this manually to find a solution.

Please can you run the following commands, and paste results of the errors (or take a picture):

apt-get install emby-server embymagick

Hi Fourdee,

thanks for reviewing that. Here is the output:

Maybe the problem is related to ""TVheadend" installation that I performed before. I followed the next https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/21528?r=23457#message-23457 .

Yep, possibly repo your using for install of TVheadend is effecting this install.

Ok, we can try to modify the repos and see if we get success with install of Emby.

First things 1st, backup your system and userdata

We'll need to see your apt sources next:

ls -lha /etc/apt/sources.list.d
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Fourdee,

Sorry for delay, I was out. Here is the output:

Thanks

Depends: mono-devel (>= 4.6) but it is not installable

Ran another test with deb http://mirror.umd.edu/raspbian/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free rpi as per yours, still installs fine.

Ok, lets check contents of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby-server.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

And, do you receive any errors when updating apt?

apt-get update

Lets also check if those packages exist in apt-cache after the update:

apt-cache search emby-server

[were55]

Fourdee,

apt-get update runs fine, here is the output of the others commands:

Looks fine, packages exist, should install, lets try reinstall of Emby:

dietpi-software reinstall 41

If it fails again:

apt-cache search mono-runtime

And paste results of:

apt-get install -f

[were55]

@Fourdee

output:

Nope we didn't, everything is in order as far as I can see.

emby-server : Depends: mono-runtime (>= 3.0~) but it is not installable

Really strange, everything is setup correctly as far as I can see.

root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian beta main

So, issue appears to be mono repo, complaining packages are not available for install, yet, repo is active on your system.

Silly question, but, can you access http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian on your network?

And also please paste results:

apt-cache search mono-runtime

If this still fails on your current installation, i believe a remote SSH session would be required to allow me to debug this further.

[were55]

@Fourdee

I have access to repo inside my network. The result of apt-cache search mono-runtime is nothing :-(

Let me know when you can take a look to allow you access.

thanks

[Fourdee]

@were55

Let me know when you can take a look to allow you access.

If you can setup external SSH access to the device in question, then send the details to:
daniel.[email protected]

I should be able to take a look today/tomorrow.

[Fourdee]

Thanks to @were55 for allowing us remote session to debug this

Notes:

• All mono-* packages are not available via apt, yet, should be.
• Apt sources are spot on.
• I had to manually pull in the required mono-* packages from http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian/pool/main/m/mono/ and dpkg -i *.deb

#Pull in remaining lib-mono-* packages via apt:
apt-get install -f

• RPi 2, try to replicate issue on a test system. If unable, this issue must be limited to this installation, although, unsure what that still is as everything DietPi does for the install (eg: apt sources etc), looks fine.

[Fourdee]

Unable to replicate on RPi 2. Although, we cant find the cause on user's system, I believe issue is limited/unique to users current installation.

Marking as closed.
