  1. I've done some reading and it seems like the entire PFCLCD line should all be the same, the only difference being their runtime.

     

    I don't think this is true.  I believe the 850/1000 are the same and the 1350/1500 are the same units with the difference being the battery capacity.  At least that is what I remember from my original research.

  2. Is there any reason to not use NUT right now?

     

    I was using the apcupsd plugin in R5.  When I moved to R6, I started using the built-in UPS support, which is apcupsd.

     

    During the early phases of R6, there was discussions of introducing apcupsd as the initial package then replacing it with NUT in a later version.  I have not been following the plans on the evolution of the UPS support.  I was pointing out that CP1500PFCLCD is supported today by unRaid and that if they move to NUT it should continue to work.

  3. I know you specified APC, but another option is the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave.  I have one on my system and it works fine.  Others on the board have also used it.  It connects via the usb port.  Every once and a while, very rarely, it will loose communications but will immediately be restored.

    EDIT:

    I'm not sure if LT still plans on replacing APCUPSD with NUT, but it is shows as compatible with a couple of parameters not supported.

  4. Ok, Ill test it again.  It is possible that the stream had completed and had downloaded the entire file and it was sitting in the buffer on my pc to to complete playing.

     

    What about the Dashboard Shares list?  Should it also indicate a stream is going.  I have it set to SMB which is what my shares are.

     

    Never mind figured it out.  I'm playing back from plex which transcodes to my cache, which is not in the list.  If I just stream a video direct with VLC, it shows the stream going in the list.

     

     

    But whats strange is my transcode location is at \\TOWER\cache\apps\tmp\plex and apps shows in the share list, but there is no indication anything is being streamed.  The count is still at 0.

  5. I’m currently on v6.1.9.  When I initially start a show, Active Streams reflects the flow.  I then navigate away from the Active Stream page then navigate back and the data is still shown.  Navigate away and wait a few minutes then go back to active streams and it no longer shows anything being streamed.

     

    Any thoughts?

     

    Also, under the dashboard, in the shares list section there is a column titled Streams.  The assumption is that any streaming data flows would be registered here by setting the value appropriately.  Mine never change from a zero when I have a video stream going.

     

  6. You need to do this in your router, assuming you only care about what is going to the internet.  If you want to to monitor internal traffic also, then you will need software on each host plus a central piece of software that polls the monitoring software on the device. 

     

    Alternatively, you may be able to monitor the traffic flows on a smart switch and retrieve the counts using a utility such as PRTG.

    I have been converting my drives to XFS which has necessitated the start/stopping of the plexmedia server plugin.  Just to let you know, at least when using a custom port, the plugin does not remember the custom port box is checked.

     

    I did not check if it works with the default port.

     

    Not a big deal as I now know I have to reset the check box when I restart Plex/server.

    Are you still seeing this problem since the last plugin update?  When I test it, it seems to remember with the eception of a fresh install, starting up for the first time, plex automatically turns that option off.  Once you set it back on you can restart without it forgetting.

     

    Nevermind, I found the problem. It was a missing equals sign on the use port variable. Should be good after the next update.

     

    I'll check it tomorrow.  I'm in the middle of moving the contents of one of my drives.  It will be done tomorrow night.

  9. As I've grown older, I've come to realize that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing every one off is a piece of cake

     

    I've also found that times you just have to say screw it.  Its my utility and this is the way I'm going to do it.  If you want it done differently go write your own.  Politely of course ;D

  10. rsync -avh ...

     

    I believe that should be rsync -avH instead.  -h shows help screens, -H includes hard links.  But not sure if you want hard links?

     

    from man page

     

    -h, --human-readable        output numbers in a human-readable format

     

    --help

        Print a short help page describing the options available in rsync and exit. For backward-compatibility with older versions of rsync, the help will also be output if you use the -h option without any other args

  11. You could always uses unBalance. 

     

    Or something like this:

    rsync -avh --progress --remove-source-files /mnt/disk3/ /mnt/disk1/

    or

    rsync -avh --progress --remove-source-files /mnt/disk3/TV_Shows /mnt/disk1

    or use midnight commander. I would try to keep the copy/move on the server if possible.
