I'm trying to find the full URL for downloading the Emby Server .txz package from FreeBSD repository, but I got no luck finding it on any search engines.

Farther I went was this FreeBSD repository list https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=emby-server&stype=all but I could not find any URL in there.

My intention is to add and install this package directly through the URL, like this:

pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/emby-server1.1.1.txz

I'm using FreeBSD 12, amd64.

    And you cannot use `pkg install emby-server`? Are you looking for a specific version? – Richard Smith Nov 29 '20 at 08:26
  • What is the benefit of `add` in your case? – uzsolt Nov 29 '20 at 09:00
  • Yes, the intention is to install a specific version of the software. I forgot tô mention that I am using PfSense's FreeBSD, and that's why I cant use pkg install directly. The add command is needed for adding the package to PfSense internal package list. – Tiago Stapenhorst Martins Nov 29 '20 at 13:01
  • You can run version hell (versions of dependencies of emby-server maybe different on your host). I think you should try to add a package repository and simply `pkg install`. – uzsolt Dec 01 '20 at 08:33

    I can't simply use `pkg install` because I am using PfSense modified version of FreeBSD. The allowed way of installing packages is by informing its URL. Version hell is really a problem though but I am willing to give it a try. – Tiago Stapenhorst Martins Dec 02 '20 at 22:25

    Same case with pfSense, I just needed some packages for diagnostics and per default there also is no version hell in pfSense since everything installed this way will be dropped on the next update. Straightforward and useful but an easy way to find the URLs is missing - I found my packages with trail and error knowing the versions beforehand but I would still be interested in a better way. – Jey DWork May 22 '21 at 13:48
