MX Linux Forum

Posted: **Sun Apr 06, 2025 1:57 am**

Been using emby theater without issue for years. I wanted to re-install it because it was playing up a little but it has vanished from the package installer....At least it has disappeared from the MXPI i have on this laptop - it is still on another laptop's MXPI and i am pretty sure the systems are identical.....

i tried the flatpak and the snap versions but neither work right. the version i have on one laptop from MXPI works perfectly. I will clone the app and stick it on this laptop but where did it go?

thanks for all you do - this is the first time i have even had need to look at the forum for a year, which speaks volumes for the stability of your wonderful OS

Try using MX Repo Manager on the affected PC to change to a different repo.

Then open MX Package Installer to see if the results are Repo or PC related.

As @Eadwine Rose rightly pointed out, you have already tried the flatpack so I have edited this post. I now think that to get to the bottom of this mystery, we are going to need the QSI from one of the laptops where emby-theatre does work properly.

If you read the post.. they tried that flatpak.

I just noticed that myself and I'll make the correction. edit: @junoluna see post #4

i don't think i got the media server from mxpi - just the theater - and it is still in my package installer on one of my devices.
the server is on another computer running ubuntu server - probably a snap.

It might have been removed when MX-23 was released.

the server is on another computer running ubuntu server - probably a snap.

I use the deb file provided by Emby. https://emby.media/linux-server.html
