Well I reinstalled the player software,hijack and emphatic using the option to have emphatic start at bootup and that worked.Then I just edited the config so I could start emphatic thru Hijack and that worked.
The difference I noticed was I had originally
;@MENUEXEC +emphatic exec /usr/local/bin/emphatic
and It works with
;@MENUEXEC +emphatic exec /usr/local/bin/emphatic/emphatic
So once again user error
