  1. I have used both, PLEX for about 1 week, and Emby since it was known as MediaBrowser (MB). Emby has been extremely simple, very configurable, and has a lot of clients. I have a lifetime Premiere account so I am clearly all in on their product. I would love to see this nag screen as well. As I refer Emby to friends, some may not go for the Premium account. Is this on the server side, or the client side? Client side I could understand because they want you to get the Premiere account and it really is worth it for all the other server-side features you get.
  2. And I'm blind, thanks for confirming that binhex lol! Thank you for your hard work getting all of us PIA users through this challenging time!
  3. Binhex, I was a guinea pig running the :test version, have the changes for nextgen now made it into the standard code? I don't recall seeing a call out saying it's good to change back...but I could be blind.
  4. Binhex, are you going to make a :test version of this docker? Comparing Deluge and qbittorrent dockers to see if the tracker I use will actually pick it up.
  5. I am using the test version and Sonarr/Radarr are working. Yes, it took a while to fully connect, but it did so.
  6. If you didn't do a container, did you do a VM? What software and tutorial did you follow?
  7. This isn't Docker engine or existing container support question so I wasn't sure where it goes. Has anyone successfully setup a Newsnab+, NNTmux, or nZEDb container on unRaid? If so, can you share settings and process on how you did it?
  8. jonp: I absolutely agree with RDP for non-latency application use and such...I've used it on everything up to Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 2012 servers. i have resigned to the fact that remote photo editing and such just isn't going to be possible...like you said latency. General everyday use I will probably lean on RDP with NLA. 2stroke: I had just come across Splashtop. it won't work for image editing due to compression, but will work for general access (though RDP seems to handle this cleaner due to it not being a "streamer") Is there some trick to configuring mouse use within games? I play WarThunder so I understand controlling tanks between the two would be similar. WASD for tank driving and mouse for aiming...or joystick...does the aiming with the mouse "float"? In FPS gaming or something like Skyrim, Minecraft, etc., I would aim, and then have to float back. Keep in mind this is going from a hardwired gigabit workhorse to my test VM with 4 vCPUs and 8GB of RAM and a passthrough AMD r9 270.
  9. Played around a bit more. I've used RDP plenty of times to know it doesn't work well...or there's a trick to configure it I don't know about. Guac is just a multi-client for various protocols. TightVNC doesn't work. Teamviewer was promising. I plugged the passed through video card into a TV so it detected a display (could use an EDID emulator later or a null connector to fake a display later), and with Teamviewer I just made the video card desktop the primary. It allowed the video card to be detectable through the Teamviewer session. For applications it would work...though Photoshop or Lightroom might not be the best due to color reproduction loss in the compression of the video stream. For gaming it was like watching a slideshow...on something simple like Minecraft with the settings ramped down.
  10. Does anyone here remotely access their VM that is configured for GPU passthrough? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro VM successfully running with an AMD R9 270 GPU...thank you IronicBadger. I want to access it remotely for various reasons: light gaming, image processing (using the GPU to speed up operations), and other various things. I need help tracking down a client that will connect to the VM without creating its own video driver. Anyone have an idea of where to start? I have tried Kainy and TightVNC...neither will do what I need it to do. I know it's working, but it always throws the GPU on the secondary and I don't know of any tools that will let me switch to the secondary display. Thank you in advance for any assistance offered.
  11. Thanks for the opinions and info. I can exclude the gaming computer...was just thinking the consolidation would be nice but I know there are trade-offs. I'm too used to overbuilding with enclosures, blades, multi-rack, fiber HBAs, etc. I am currently thinking maybe 10 servers max for a lab to get a full multisite AD, Exchange, DFS setup. GNS3 isn't out of the question either, but I'm pretty certain I won't be doing 50 routers. I would aim for about 64GB of RAM. So without the heavy gaming VM looking okay with a single hex core Xeon?
  12. Okay, I need some assistance. I am not a noob and quite experienced with servers, virtualization, and unRaid. I just lack time. I have tried committing myself to doing research to find a motherboard to build a system off of and just keep running into roadblocks where either I find products in a dizzying amount of configurations without reviews, or I find products with reviews but they don't seem to have the features I am looking for. Ideal motherboard: 1. Dual 2011R3 (to support the next gen procs 2. 8 memory slots is fine 3. Quad onboard NICs preferred, but have no problem adding more 4. I would like to use Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 or Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 I am looking to rebuild my unRaid 5 server with unRaid 6 and utilize Xen. Something along the lines of: dom0 - unRaid, Xen domU1 - Sickbeard, CouchPotato, Transmission domU2 - MediaBrowser3 domU3 - Win7 HTPC - passthrough Video card for light emulation gaming domU4 - Win8.1 VM for the kids - they are little and will do light web browsing and maybe flash-based gaming domU5 - Win8.1 Gaming PC - high-end vid card passthrough - I like games and eye candy I would like to add more as I play around with building VMs like domain controllers and such for MCSE re-cert prep...hence the additional horsepower. Am I overthinking this? Is a dual socket setup overkill? I don't mind going single socket (maybe an 8 core with hyperthreading), if I can ensure I get everything VM'd with decent video recoding potential for streaming video on the HTPC or Rokus around the house.
