Errors getting Media Center installed

Posted by atlashugged

I'm trying to stand up a new sparkbox and going through the Media Center install. I've tried a few times including doing a full reinstall but nothing seems to be working. I get a few errors, including the following: "[0;31m[ERROR][0m /app/modules/media/docker-compose.yml validating /app/modules/media/docker-compose.hw.yml: services.jellyfin-media.groupadd items at 0 and 1 are equal [0;31m[ERROR][0m Recover with 'sudo sparkbox update' (re-renders the compose; your settings in .env are untouched), or fix the YAML above, then retry." I've run the sparkbox update which doesn't seem to fix anything, as the error persists every time I try to install. If I let the install script continue to run it errors out with "Apps install failed (exit code 1) Last error: [SparkBox] Module start failed: sb-gluetun missing."

This is a bug on our side, not anything you did — and you've already tried the right fixes. Your graphics card's video and render parts report the same group number, and SparkBox's hardware-transcoding file writes that number twice, which Docker refuses to accept. A reinstall or sudo sparkbox update just rebuilds that same file, so the error keeps returning. To get you installed now, turn hardware transcoding off for the moment. Open the settings file: sudo nano /opt/sparkbox/.env Change the line JELLYFINHWACCEL=auto to JELLYFINHWACCEL=none, save with Ctrl+O then Enter and exit with Ctrl+X, then run: sudo sparkbox up Give it a few minutes and the Media Center install should finish. Everything runs fine without hardware transcoding, and I've got this recorded on our side for a proper fix — you can switch it back on once that lands.
