my unRAID server is static, I will see if the other solutions help out. Using the IP is fine, just a pain for people non-computer friendly since they can't just click the network->MachineName...

I don't think its Windows 8.1 issue, I just think I have something set somewhere messing with it... I can ping the machine fine at all times and I can browse to it via IP it appears at all times, but via machine name no luck.

I was hoping someone with Windows 8.1 (RTM) has possibly seen this issue, as I am not 100% fluent yet with Windows 8.x... If I reboot my machine it can see my unRAID server (5.0) fine, over time however, if trying to browse it \\HADES it just throws a "the Network path was not found" error. puTTY connects fine from windows 8.1 as does the browser, it is only browsing the machine. I tried turning off Windows Firewall as well, but it did nothing, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, its rather frustrating

Anyone know if this is ok?

Actually you have good parity, which is WHY you can still access the missing drive (it's emulated by the other drives) and why you can rebuild the drive by simply replacing it. You can do the swap-disable process ... but do NOT wait on this. ANY other failure and you'll not be able to recover the data from the failed drive. drives are coming in today. I need to pre-clear first though, which will probably take like 6 weeks ...

I didn't have to change any settings in the PlexConnect settings to point to the AppleTV when I set this up for my parents. I just pointed the AppleTV's DNS settings to the server and started PlexConnect and it worked fine. Your AppleTVs IP could change. Sorry, been on vacation. That being said, I guess if that is the case I am not sure, I have my apple tv's and unRAID server on static IPs so I never have that issue. But the below steps are based on PlexConnect wiki: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/70272-plexconnect-on-unraid/ - This is my post used by the PlexConnect group. https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/OSX-and-ATV-with-5.2-firmware-and-ethernet-internet-connection-installation-guide

I attached a picture, I plan to do the "Swap both" as I don't want to purchase another drive at the moment. That being said, I haven't done this for about a year now, how do I pre-clear these drives prior to unRAID just detecting them? Can I do that? Do I need to do that? I assume pre-clearing 2 4TB drives will take 4-5 days...

just want to make sure on this, my unRAID server went back online with the invalid drive (assumingly my parity drive took over). Does this A. mean I have no parity now (obviously), but does this mean I can't do the above anymore? B. Does this not affect my plans to do the above, which is replace my parity with a 4TB, and move the parity into the spot of the dead drive?

Thank you, hopefully I don't mess this up I justr bought two of these, hope they are decent. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/835055-REG/Hitachi_0S03359_4TB_Internal_Hard_Drive.html

One of my 2 TB drives died today, or when I booted up it came up as "Missing" and upon reboot it wont load anymore. So I ordered a new one. My question is though, I ordered 2 4TB drives, one for the replacement and one for a new parity. Obviously I can't replace the parity first, but what happens with my process? Do I need to replace the 2TB with the 4TB, let it setup and then replace the parity? Once the parity is on 4TB do I need to re-setup the 4TB drive as well?

PlexConnect should be pointing to your AppleTV's IP (the one you replaced with your unRAID IP on the AppleTV. So Apple TV should have your unRAID IP PlexConnect should have your AppleTV IP.

If I type it directly, I get this: [1] 8943 root@Hades:~# nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out' If I type it with full path (assuming I need this) I get nothing back: nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py &

Ya, both methods dont work for me, I tried the other one first... :'(

I must be slow... My go looks like this and it wont start unless I have puTTy running and manually run: python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py If I close puTTy it dies... My GO: #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p 8008 & /boot/unmenu/uu cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py & unraid_notify start

I got it working, and its soooooo much smoother than the iphone/ipad through AIRPlay... THANK YOU PLEXCONNECT! I have it running on RC13. *Make note of your unRAID internal IP, if you have SimpleFeatures it is displayed in the main page in the upper right hand corner For AppleTV side, please follow this: https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/OSX-and-ATV-with-5.2-firmware-and-ethernet-internet-connection-installation-guide For unRAID side, please follow below: 1. Change your default port for unRAID to something other than 80, something like 8008. To do this go to your go file on your flash drive and replace /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & with /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p XX & (where XX equals the port) Not sure if needed, but I rebooted here 1. Install python on your Plex server (since I have CouchPotato and Sickbeard running, I already had it), maybe someone can send me some manual steps and I will gladly update with how to do this. 2. Copy the download https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/XML_templates.zip to your destination of choice (below you will notice I used a cache drive). 3. Go to your destination (/mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect) and modify the file Settings.py with the following: return '8.8.8.8' # google public DNS and replace 8.8.8.8 with the IP you saved from your apple tv 4. go to puTTy and type in the following (you should be able to close puTTy after this): nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py & *thanks to mrow This should get you going.

what command needs to be run to change your port to 8008? -EDIT: Found my answer, in the go file replace: /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & with: /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p XX & (where XX equals PORT)

I had the same issue, had to remove about 5 of the plg files for SF to let unRAID boot. When I get home I will list out the ones that failed for me.

SB is set to go to my tv shows share which has cache disabled.

Make sense, any thoughts as to why it is using it in the share though?

some more information, it looks like when i delete the files that get spread to the cache drive it clears up the "shared" status in the UI (goes from orange to green), however the minute I use Sickbeard to process something on the cache drive it re uses it and puts the drive right back into a shared state

I am using RC11, one of my shares has enabled cache drive on its own. I am not sure how, as if I go to the share the option clearly shows it is disabled. That being said, is their a way for me to get out of this, I have tried switching it to on then off, but nothing changes the status of it.

also tried replacing my network.cfg to see if that would do anything, it did nothing unfortunately.

Something is out of whack, I am just not sure what. I have the following installed: simplefeatures couchpotato sickbeard unmenu plex server plex server updater sabnzb For some reason, after rebooting, most is failing to load: -My shares do not appear -I can NOT browse main (server management utility) from my PC or any device -I can NOT browse sab -I can NOT browse sickbeard -I can browse couchpotato -I can browse plex -I can browse unraid -I can use putty to connect My syslog is attached. I go no idea what is going on, and since I can't browse the shares or drives I can't do anything... The only share that comes up is the flash drive. I am on latest RC. I can also ping the server fine. syslog-2012-12-10.txt

figured it out... Apparently it didn't update the network.cfg file like it should have. Still had 192.168 in it.

I decided today to change my internal network to 10.10.x.x. I was 192.168.x.x. Prior to doing this I made sure to turn off static IP and power down my unRAID server (5RC8a). Upon bootup it received a new server (10.10.x.x) but my discs aren't coming back online. It is just letting me browse my flash drive, but I can't browse the website. I can connect through PuTTy. Any thoughts on tests I can run through putty to fix this or figure out what is going on? Steps I did: 1. Turned off static IP 2. Turned on Automatic 3. Spun Down Array 4. Power Down (From Web UI) 5. Changed my server to use 10.10.x.x (everything else is fine) 6. Rebooted unRAID (2 times now)
