I'm reading about lots of issues with the GUI, NFS, several dockers and plugins, incompatible stuff like nerdpack, people that have errors while booting, are actually reverting to 6.5.4 because of this etc. Too much for me to get the feeling that i should update. Also, it is not clear to me at all what the actual changes are in this release, besides the GUI part (which has lots of issues if you actually read last 9 pages).

7 pages of issues in 9 hours. I'll postpone this update if you don't mind.

I found an app that routes all audio from the iPad to a bluetooth device; that way i can keep using the squeezeserver app, i just set my iPad as my audio device in stead of the squeezebox. But... this is the same issue as with Alexa; i only want the music to stream over bluetooth, not everything...

I've been experimenting with the MyMedia For Alexa docker to stream audio from UNRAID to a bluetooth receiver connected to my stereo, controlled using Alexa voice commands. Works pretty good, but... i would like the same functionality (streaming audio from UNRAID to a bluetooth receiver or speaker) but controlled using an iPad app. Voice commands are a cool gadget but with audio it is not really my thing. It would be ok if Alexa would use the internal speaker for her responses while playing music over bluetooth, but that is not the case... it's either internal speaker OR bluetooth. Who knows of a good app that can stream music stored on UNRAID (in folders) to a bluetooth device? Can Plex do this maybe? I would like an app like Squeezeserver, that shows album art, can create playlists etc.

Got a reaction back from MyMedia: "This definitely could be possible but is not implemented yet. We could trigger IFTTT actions on key track actions from MyMedia. We will have a think and get back to you"

No, it;s not expensive at all, on the contrary i'll see if i can contact support.

Scanning problem solved but trial period is over... I have an Alexa dot 2, so my idea is to stream mymedia over bluetooth to a bluetooth device connected to my receiver. I'm thinking of an Audioengine B1 or an Arcam rBlink. Now, it is great to order Alexa around with mymedia, and it will play over bluetooth, but... i have to find a way to set the right input on my receiver when mymedia starts playing. As far as i can see, there is no possibility to use MyMedia as an IFTTT trigger or as a 'thing' in Stringify? Any ideas? I'm look for something like "IF mymedia is playing, THEN tell Logitech Harmony to select input 2"

I did have it installed on the same disk (disk1) where my musiclibrary is on... i usually install dockers on my cache/ssd... i've reinstalled it on the ssd now, didn't have time yet to see if it is better, i assume it will be

After installing this i noticed this docker keeps the disk(s) where you store your music library, spinned up 100% of the time... which is really bad. Is there some setting in the docker that might prevent this?

I'll give it a try... it always confuses me. To me, exclude is the opposite of include and vice versa, so to me it makes no sense that you can include AND exclude disks.

- My 'TVSeries' share is setup to include disk2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and exclude disk1. - Allocation method is 'fill up' - Split level is set to 'only top level' so (if i'm correct) only 'TVSeries' itself will be split over disks, underlying shows should NOT be split over disks and should remain grouped on one disk. That is how i want it, i want one show to be completely on one disk. - Underneath 'TVSeries' there are series folders like 'American Dad', Family Guy etc. Underneath each series folder there are seasons folders, season 1, season 2 etc. Now, when want to create a new season 6 folder for 'Orange Is The New Black', i open a telnet/console and go to "/mnt/user/TVSeries/Orange Is The New Black" (which is physically located completely at disk4) and i manually create a folder: 'mkdir /mnt/user/TVSeries/Orange Is The New Black/Season 6', but... if i check it, it is physically created in /mnt/disk1/TVSeries/Orange Is The New Black/Season 6"... how is that possible? Disk1 is EXCLUDED? Why wasn't it created on disk4? This is a recurring issue i'm having. Also when sabnzbd is creating new folders for seasons (post scripting) often they appear on disk1... unraid-diagnostics-20180729-1842.zip

This is great, thank you!

root@UNRAID:~# hdparm -C /dev/sdj /dev/sdj: drive state is: active/idle root@UNRAID:~# hdparm -C /dev/sdj /dev/sdj: drive state is: standby Great, thanks!

No one can point me in the direction of a python script that can tell if a disc has been spinned up? Like the shell "mdcmd" ? Or does mdcmd also returns some value if a disc is spinning or not?

Thanks, made the setting, did a test and it looks like it's working, i'll have to test some more, also what happens after a reset etc.
