Can someone explain Plex dont offload all the work to the GPU. Transcoding only kicks in on people who open a plex session in a web page.. I thought the GPU was there to offload all the work from being dumped on the CPU. I have an older gen9 DL380, with a P2000 and the idea was to put the work load on the P2000. Will the P2000 do HEVC ? is it even worth trying that ? I feel like this is by design because like I said, some sessions do transcode and I can see work being done for plex on the P200, just not all sessions.

I seem to have an "interesting to me" issue that I haven't had prior to upgrading to unraid 7. Before 7 , I would edit the VM and check the box that showed my external USB hard drive, fire up the VM and it would show up in my VM. Yesterday for the first time, I checked the box that showed my USB hard drive, started the VM, went to connect via my RDP client and it was a no go.... The strange thing, I could VNC to the Unrade server IP:port number of the VM and actuall log in and see that the VM was up and running. Interestingly enough the USB drive was not showing up. So, I stopped the VM, un checked the USB hard drive, and started the VM... This time the RDP connection worked exactly like it was suppose to. Is there added steps to add USB devices, what chenged. It seems the VM has more options now. Has anyone else had this issue?

Update: This was the solution. Everything back online and Fix Common Problems no longer shows the issue and everything is back on the cache drive and running great. Thank you for the assistance.

Well , for what its worth... Mover is greyed out so I assume it is running and may take a long while to move stuff. I'll keep an eye on it to see how it goes. Thanks for the pointer...

I think I messed something up on one of my main unraid servers. I noticed that my appdata was unprotected so I thought I would fix it by designating the array as my secondary storage. When I did that I started to get the warning message in my fix common problems scan when I ran that a few days later. On top of that, the appdata folder on my cache drive still showed "unprotected" so I decided to revert the appdata config back to only the cache drive. Here is the problem. I still have the folder on the array.. What do I do with that data on the array ? Is there any active data in there after I switched back to the cache drive ? Im sure others have done this before, do I use unballance to move it somewhere ?

Is there a proper way to set a path for RAG documents to be loaded into a model ? I would like to store all the RAG files on my array vs my appsdata which is on my limited cache drive. ideally, I would like all my different models stored on the array as well as opposed to the config location which is on the cache pool ?

I had this issue and it came down to where the appdata location was. It needs a big place to store the models .. The container needs work in my opinion.

I seem to have an issue that is "player related" ? I don't understand but unless I set the player to "auto" it will not use the GPU and goes to direct play. It defaults to "original" and seems to use the GPU .. I would like it to always use the GPU. Is this normal ? Is there something im not understanding ?

Have you looked at your domain folder in UR to see it the Vdisk is still there? If it is, just rebuild the front end widget and point it to that Vdisk ?

Maybe this is the difference between a type one and type two hypervisor, but I thought I might ask anyway. Do you always have to "pin" CPU's on VM creation or can you just set a VM for X amount of cpu's and let the VM float within a pool of resources ?

Is there a trick to getting the actual ROMS to show up. When I do my scan it sees all the game platforms, however none of the roms are detected. I would assume that the file structure is correct because the game platforms show up, and the roms from a directory perspective are under their respective system. Why is it not picking up the actual roms ?

why is the data in the tile right justified ?

I have nextcloud 23.0.3 working on 6.9.2 of unraid, my only issue at this point is that when I attempt to enable "community document server" inside nextcloud , it always times out and reverts back to the enable button. As a work around I have installed OpenOffice community document server but I cant figure out how to get that through swag correctly . Something tells me that the simple route would be to get community document server working from inside the nextcloud app store but im not having any luck... Im running this all on a dl360 gen 8 with 24 core intel hardware . when I look at the error, I think it downloads almost all of it but times out . Error settings GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 120000 milliseconds with 309886344 out of 467806574 bytes received (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/205429728/107d635e-0fd5-4786-952d-93b78503620a?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWNJYAX4CSVEH53A%2F20220506%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20220506T140334Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=e837c56af9a35a21b04fdb41df58cfc17183f247a0c28fa09216bbfd11fb0731&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&key_id=0&repo_id=205429728&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B filename%3Ddocumentserver_community.tar.gz&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

Found the issue, changed the machine type and increased the minimum memory .

I'm trying to build a VM of Manjaro . Not sure it is the root of the issue but one problem I've got around was changing driver=free to driver=mesa in grub to get the live boot to work. I would like to better understand the difference between mesa and live but that is for another day . Anyway after the live KDE launches, I then am able to click on launch install, after a few screens of install options all at various points the VNC session will stop responding . I'm at a total loss how to push past this issue . Any guidance would be greatly appreciated .
