  1. Although have never personally tried the hdmi extenders over cat6 I am sure the quality would degrade big time.

    I have personally tried them, and no, the quality is just fine, as long as you don't try to push more data than the extender is rated for. If you are trying to push high res with a cheap extender, you will see issues. The cheap ones run 720p and 1080i just fine.

     

    This is exactly what I meant.

    I used to run 20m HDMI cable (Van Den Hul) and was surprised that even this 20 m are degrading the picture quality visibly. It was more noticeable on non-compressed Blu-ray content while the 720p/1080i was just fine. That's why I was thinking that the cat6 extenders can't be better than a high-end graded HDMI cable but obviously I am wrong.

    Sorry, I am trying to figure out how to extend both HDMI & USB for IR receiver over a single CAT cable (if possible).

     

    I have 2 TVs I like to extend this to, but each room has a single cable installed.

     

    Is that still what you are talking about googling?

     

    Please take a look here:

    I think this solution would work in your case. You wouldn't need USB cable for your remote, controlling the xbmc but use your tv remote instead.

  3. For our household mobile devices (Ipads and Iphones) we use Plex to stream our FLAC collection.

    I don't know if Plex transcodes the FLAC content into mp3 but the low quality audio out from the i-devices is not making much of a difference...

    True- the application is not free of charge but is cheap enough so that everyone can afford it having in mind the price of the device itself.

  4. I voted for "Unraid NG" as if unraid linux distro comes into reality it is going to be a real Next Generation version.

     

    "Linux Edition" is probably the most appropriate name but having in mind that the current version is based on nothing else but linux one can think that the predecessor is based on windows for an example. Just my thoughts. 

     

  5. I have unraid 5.0.

    Exported user shares via NFS. No problem accessing them.

    The problem appears after write attempt. I checked user permissions and I am pretty sure the same users were writing without problem to user shares in RC versions of UNRAID.

    In 5 final the NFS security settings are just not showing the option to set the users and respective permissions.

    A screenshot from the GUI is attached.

    Yes, I ran the permission script once I updated to 5 final.

     

    What can be done in order to have write access via NFS?

    Thanks in advance.

  6. Hi guys, hope you help me.

    I had a rock-solid unraid last few years without any major problems. Upgraded to version 5 final when it became available and continued to use it happily.

    Last few days the web interface started to disappear twice a day. Haven t changed anything at all, the same plugins, the same HDDs....it just hangs and only a hard reset solve the issue.

     

    Here I am attaching the complete log file.

    Hope somebody can help me because I feel a bit lost now.

  7. Dear All,

     

    Friends of mine decided to make a gift to me for my birthday with the mentioned motherboard (nice present, ah? :) ).

    Since the board is not equipped with an on-board IPMI module (it is not the F model) I was wondering if additional supermicro module exists and is compatible with the board so that I can benefit from the extras IPMI provides.

    As my current unraid build is based on a very low level motherboard (ASUS P8H61M-LE) I have only 4gb RAM installed and for the system and plugins I use it is more than enough. I would like to ask you if this ordinary Corsair ram will work with the board or I will need special ECC server RAM? The CPU (I am waiting to receive it tomorrow) will be a XEON 1220.

    I have read the service manual but didn't managed to answer my questions.

     

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Best regards to all of you.

     

  8. Directly upgraded over 5.0 RC10.

    None of the installed plugins was removed prior the update (just for test) and have to report that all of them continue working as expected.

    Thank you Tom for your hard work bringing us a final product.

    Still haven't removed SF to test the new WI.

    Currently parity check in progress. No issues in check speed.

    Screenshot attached.

  9. Dear All,

    Could you please suggest some KVM switches (links please). My unraid build is based on a lower level Mainboard without IPMI option (I didnt thought that the appetite for IPMI will come later) but I would like to benefit of such option if available at all. As I understood it is a separate device communicating with the mainboard via RS232 cable. What I do not understand if the device have a LAN port as I can't imagine how the communication will go through without a separate LAN port and different IP.

    Thank you in advance.
