Hi Guys. After many requests I have made a tutorial for setting up a docker container for pi-hole. This gives us network wide adblocking. Hope you find it useful

If you click on « Show more settings », there is a field « Automatic Disc Ripper: Minimum Title Length » that you can adjust to make sure only the main movie is extracted.

Be sure to setup Notifications so unRAID can notify you when you begin to get a problem with a disk.

It's probably the docker image, shutdown the docker service and run the mover again.

Yep, this is the next step!

Looks intriguing. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13079/asrock-launches-c246m-ws-microatx-motherboard-for-xeon-e-cpus

I was literally writing my response when I saw your post... but adding the bit to the "go" file did it! I finally played a test file in plex and saw the magical "transcoding (hw) to transcoding (hw)". The official response from ASRock is as I suspected: Yes, you can use Intel on-die GPU for transcoding. In BIOS – Advanced as you see, you just need to set Enable to Intel VGA Device Control and allocate your desired memory size to it. Now, does anyone know if it's possible to use both Emby and Plex at the same time? Well, not at the same time, but certain files playback better in Emby than Plex and vice versa, so my family often goes between the both of them. Thank YOU so much for doing the research. I was literally ready to throw in the towel completely after getting this new lower power system together. It looks like I will be moving forward with this build. I just now need to find a replacement for my security camera NVR, Blue Iris. I really don't want to spin up a VM just for it and am investigating other possible Linux / Docker based VMs, but none seem to be even remotely close to Blue Iris.

I now have hardware transcoding in Plex working on my ASRock E3C226D21 motherboard. The issue was that I needed to remove "nomodeset" from the "append nomodeset initrd=/bzroot" line in syslinux.cfg That was previously added because IPMI video went black on this board without nomodseet added to the append line. Either the BIOS update or a some Linux kernel changes (likely that) in newer versions of unRAID have made that no longer necessary. As soon as I removed "nomodeset", /dev/dri with all the drivers including renderD128 was created properly and I was able to enable hardware transcoding in Plex with the Quicksync iGPU in the I5 4590 while still retaining full IPMI video output through the AST2300 onboard video controller. Thanks for your original post or I never would have investigated this possibility as i believed from the note in the board CPU specs that use of the iGPU was not possible. Since I did not really need it on this server, I had never tried it. Thanks to the OP, I gave it a try and was able to get it working.

I didn't have to do it again. I just had to do a reboot and it seems the setting has suck so far.

Parity + the rest of your data drives can rebuild a drive, but it doesn't replace a true backup. Drive failure is only one way to lose data. Accidental or malicious deletion or corruption are much more common ways to lose data, and parity does nothing to protect from those causes. If you care about your data, it must be backed up, which means a second copy somewhere besides your main machine. Correct. Parity by itself doesn't have any sensible data, it's only usable in concert with all the rest of the drives.

It's pretty easy to move data where you'd like to have it with unBalance. Wouldn't it be better just to leave your current data where it is so only those two drives get spun up when that data is needed, rather than having the chance of spinning up all the drives at some point?

Yoda head indicates whether the server is the SMB Local Master Browser (or not). From memory this is from the Dynamix "Local Master" plugin

Errmm...probably fixing the typo I put in my post will do the trick (oops!) Try "virtio" instead of "vrtio".

SOLVED!!! So First I want to say I am a little disappointed in the Forum. I've had one reply to my problem and while I do want to thank @Squid for attempting to provide help, I'm a little disappointed that only one person was willing to provide assistance. However thanks to Google, I found the problem. Bottom Line Up Front: Close all your GUIs...then play with VMs So as new user of unRAID, I have been very excited to get thing set up. What that means is, I have a mini-pc at home (it was in charge of my NAS that I left to try unRAID), a Mac Book Pro (still haven't successfully attempted to install Mac OS, however what I discovered might by one of the reasons), a surface pro, and an iPhone. When I was at home I would work on the mac book and the surface to get the server set up, but when I was at work I would bounce between my surface and my iphone when ever I had time. Fast foward a couple of days and you have my previous posts. Late last night I was looking though all my xml files, watching spaceinvaders video's for the 1000th time trying to figure out what I had done wrong, why did my windows vm keep giving me the BSOD. all the while I was cussing at @alkiax for talking me into switching to unRAID. during all of my research I starting coping logs like it was my job. I was monitoring this post waiting for someone to rescue me and I wanted to be capable of providing as much research documents as possible so they could tell me where I went wrong. So at one point I started looking a the logs for the server it self. It was glowing red with errors. So in all my unRAID expertise I went to work...you should start laughing at me now. I am not a programmer...no even a little. I've had no training other than my own fooling around. However if your screen is glowing red and I notice the words "preclear" (not availble in community plug ins) and I happen to now that I recently told the "preclear" plug in to update, well then the obvious solution is there is a problem with preclear. Turns out not some much! Once I removed the plugin the entire log turned red. In addition to seeing preclear a ton I notice another ip address. In a panic I did't pay much attention to the address (if I had I would have noticed quickly that it started with 192.168 which would have told me that it was on my side of the modem). So I stopped all my dockers...screen still red. So I stopped the array....screen still red. Finally I stopped all the plugins, at this point I was sure that I had downloaded something and I was being hacked because the logs where still glowing red and continuing to grow. Once again I called up my buddy @alkiax and at this point I was ready to kill him, what had he gotten me into? So I did what every reasonable person would do, I grabbed a beer and opened Google and started searching. My VM troubles were a thing of the past at this point I wanted to save the server. Then i stumbled across a post where @gridrunner asked a question about a "wrong card token message" which happened to be part of the glowing red error messages going across my log screen. Thankfully @itimpi had responded to gridrunner and told him that "The wrong card token message occurs when you have a browser window still open to the unraid GUI from before the last boot of unRAID." I had two instances up and running! one on my mac...the one that I was trouble shooting with, and one on my surface, the one I was watching the logs with. That got me thinking, I checked my phone, sure enough it was on the GUI and my other PC, the one that I remoted into while at work was on the GUI. With fingers crossed I closed all the GUIs, save one. The one remaining GUI I used to tell the server to reboot and then I closed it as well. Once the server restarted I logged back into the GUI (on just one computer this time) and sure enough the logs where clean. This got me thinking, I wonder if this was the problem with my VMs. One GUI shows they aren't started, one shows they are start and the other shows that I just shut it down. I'm not sure how all the 1's and 0's talk to each other but it was all I could hope for. So today after work, I sat down and built another VM (I had deleted the others at some point last night while the logs where glowing red...becuase one of the scripts glowing read referred to the "VM"). I got ridiculous and made three copies, one of the VM the moment I built it, another after I started to update the drivers from the built in windows ones to the virtio drivers, and another after I had installed splash top desk top. I was a little worried I'd have another crash. But I am proud to report, I have a VM that is up and running! I even managed to play a game on it for a little while. Tomorrow I will take one of the copies and pass though a USB control, and if that works I'll pass though my GPU.

Unfortunately this is probably a short term fix at best for several reasons: It is not a necessary to clear disks with preclear. unRAID handles clearing a disk without taking the array offline as in the past. This plugin has been tagged as not compatible with 6.4 and later versions of unRAID. There are style sheets in the plugin that replace some of the built in unRAID style sheets and break other things. The 6.5 series of releases has warnings from php 7.2 turned off for the moment. Those of us actively supporting plugins are fixing these warnings in our plugins now. Eventually as the next versions of php are released, the warnings will be errors and preclear may fail unless the plugin code is actively supported. Changes may have to be made to address the php errors. Right now the warnings are an annoyance if turned on and appear in the webgui, later they will be failures. Some changes need to be made to address issues that some users have experienced and there is no one actively supporting the plugin to make these changes. I doubt any other plugin author will adopt this plugin because it is not necessary for unRAID operation. Those wishing to pound on a disk just to make yourself feel good can find other tools to do the same thing. It is my understanding that the preclear script is still working. It has been more trouble that it is worth. As the supporter of UD, I can no longer offer any assistance or support for the plugin and don't appreciate the kludge offered here because I will end up with support requests I don't have the time or patience to deal with. UD will eventually be incorporated into the unRAID core and any preclear hooks in UD will probably be removed. I know those of you that carry the preclear banner will not like what I have said here, but preclear is on it's way out. Find another way!

came here asking me the same but i figured it out. So in case anyone else is wondering how to do this: When you have the webinterface open press alt + ctrl + shift, this opens a sidebar where you can edit the clipboard. Paste your links there and jdownloader will find them.
