Some guy on the Emby forums got the plugin working on an armv71 banana pi. He built ffmpeg. So the plugin is working with armv71 devices. I asked for zip of his ffmpeg. If I get it I'll give you guys a link.

Haha, you guys need to check out the Halloween theme stuff on Emby today... LOL

New version is working really well... Version 3.0.5768.7

Speaking of Halloween Decorations

Greetings

Yeah it is not much but a surprise. There should be a Halloween song that plays some time when you first enter too.

New Version is out:

Version 3.0.5781.0

OK, for people that want their metadata to be saved in your media share folders there are 3 things you need to do. The 4th item is for people that already have created their media share. If you do 1-3 before creating your media share you are OK.

1) This command will add the emby user to the users group. The command is in the Notes, #4, on the plugins Settings panel:

usermod -a -G users emby

2) You need go into the Emby UI at home / manage server / metadata
Then on the right you need to put a check mark in "Save artwork and metadata into media folders"

3) When you add your media shared folder to SAMBA go to Services / SMB/CIFS /
Then click on the Shares TAB
Click on Add
Then click on the Shared folder drop down and select your media shared folder.
Then scroll down to extra options at the bottom and put in this:
directory mask = 0775
Then click on save.
Restart samba with "service samba restart"

4) If you had already created your media share you need to look at the last step. Edit your share in the Shares TAB of SMB/CIFS and add this extra option from step 3. Save and restart Samba with "service samba restart"
Then run this command to correct the chmod on your media share's folders.
Say your share is at /media/UUID/mediashare you would:

(input your UUID of the filesystem where your media share is and in the find command use your mediashare name)
cd /media/UUID/
find mediashare -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;

I had issue with ffmpeg on my odroid xu4. Here is a workarround

• Install ffmpeg from the official repositories:
  
  Code

  apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53

• remove the old ffmpeg binary:
  
  Code

  mv /var/lib/emby/ffmpeg/20150917/ffmpeg /var/lib/emby/ffmpeg/20150917/ffmpeg.bak

  
  

• link the installed binary to the location of emby ffmpeg:
  
  Code

  ln -s $(which ffmpeg) /var/lib/emby/ffmpeg/20150917/ffmpeg

The transcode should work from now on. Its not perfect, but I guess better than nothing. I think the folder 20150917 is dependend on the individual installation.

For armv71 users there are some instructions to build ffmpeg here:

New version of media info., 7.79, is available. I updated links in post above.

Don´t they get the update itself as well as the update infos via the plugin?

These packages normally come from the Debian repos. It is a dependency of the plugin. I gave the webpage with the newer packages to Aaron and asked him to add them to OMV Extra repos so it would upgrade via upgrade manager. I guess he didn't want to trust those packages. They are working well.

This is the old version in the Debian repo.

Hi

In the last emby web ui shows that an emby update is available. However after an manual update via emby plugin I ended up at the same version - probably due to the fact that the Linux zip file of emby is not updated very often

Would it be possible for the emby plugin to send an email if an actual update is really available?

Click on the restart button in the plugin. Then refresh browse and check version again. I think you did upgrade and it is just not reflected in the manage server section yet.

Zitat von blublub

Would it be possible for the emby plugin to send an email if an actual update is really available?

@blublub It would be a pain in the ass. None of the other plugins do something like this. There are some other changes coming up that need to be addressed too. They are a lot more important.

New Version available: 3.0.5781.3

Use the force upgrade button on the plugin Settings page to upgrade.

All working here, thanks tekkb!

Yup. It is really good that Sergio made this plugin available for OMV and that you refined it in a way that it is working flawlessly now.
Thx

If you have seen the OMV section on the Emby forum it is even working well with armv71 devices, after users build ffmpeg.

I'm off to Germany tomorrow. So if I am not posting much over the next week that is why...
