Hi and thanks for your report.

Yeah indeed this happens since the latest Emby release is only available for Windows. We reworked the installer to use a last known fallback URL if the latest release does not contain one for Debian: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/ce890930d8239433f307b0bbe6219a84a718aedd

Please do the following:

sed -i 's#"$(curl -s "$INSTALL_URL_ADDRESS" | grep -m1 "browser_download_url.*emby-server-deb_.*_$arch\\.deb" | cut -d \\" -f 4)"#"https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.0.2.0/emby-server-deb_4.0.2.0_$arch.deb"#' /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software
/DietPi/dietpi/software install 41 # to rerun the Emby install

I had the same issue and tried your fix.
It started installing but failed at dpkg

But the APT fix afterwards succeeded. In some cases we choose this way if we install software with many/changing package dependencies:

  • Run DPKG install
  • Run into error because of missing dependencies
  • Run apt-get -f install to let APT automatically install missing dependencies.

Perhaps we should add some info that an error here is expected.

Or does your Emby finally not work?

I tried the following.

But still get dpkg error. In dietpi-software it shows that Emby is installed but I checked with htop, it is not running.

My bad. Sorry it did install correctly.
I was trying to access it from http://app.emby.media/#!/home.html not from the IP http://192.168..*:8096

After I set it up, it started the services.

Thanks for your help MichaIng
