Ok I created a test account so I wouldn't hose my real dropbox if I did something stupid. Where exactly is the dropbox.py file, in the docker.img itself? I assumed that it would be in one of the mapped container volumes but I can't seem to find it. Well I think I found. It appears as though dropbox.py is in /usr/local/bin/dropbox.py inside the docker but when I run the exclude add command I get an error. I am trying to follow along loosely with these instructions but am getting an error that Dropbox isn't running. The command I tried: root@VOID:/# docker exec Dropbox /usr/local/bin/dropbox.py exclude add Dropbox/test Dropbox isn't running!

That did it! It performs exponentially better when formatted as xfs vs ext4. The media starts after only a few second delay. Thanks!

Try running swapoff on this swapfile and then swapon again. Same issue. It will create the swap file fine but it won't start it. Let me know what info you might need from me to troubleshoot. root@VOID:~# swapoff -v /mnt/cache/swapfile swapoff on /mnt/cache/swapfile swapoff: /mnt/cache/swapfile: swapoff failed: Invalid argument root@VOID:~# swapon -v /mnt/cache/swapfile swapon on /mnt/cache/swapfile swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: found swap signature: version 1, page-size 4, same byte order swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: pagesize=4096, swapsize=4294967296, devsize=4294967296 swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: swapon failed: Invalid argument

Had some issues with my cache drive yesterday and ended up reformatting it. Now when I try to start the swap I get "swapon failed: Invalid argument". I am creating the swap on /mnt/cache as recommended and I didn't have any issues with the plugin until I reformatted the cache drive. Any ideas? Tried to do it manually via SSH and encountered the same error: root@VOID:~# swapon -v /mnt/cache/swapfile swapon on /mnt/cache/swapfile swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: found swap signature: version 1, page-size 4, same byte order swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: pagesize=4096, swapsize=4294967296, devsize=4294967296 swapon: /mnt/cache/swapfile: swapon failed: Invalid argument

No, it hadn't even started playing after 20 minutes. The size of the folder on the transcode drive slowly grew but the video never actually started playing. When I finally gave up and cancelled it, it had only transcoded about 250MB of a 4GB video file. I have been using the same video file for all my transcode testing and when I had it going to the cache drive (or to RAM) it started playback after about five to ten seconds. I change the local streaming quality in my plex media player (this is all inside my LAN for testing) to around 480p so I can get an idea of the processor utilization for a lowish quality stream and see how much disk IO it creates. The end goal being for me to be able to figure out how many simultaneous streams my server can transcode without noticeable performance degradation.

This may or may not be the right place for this as I am unsure if it is specific to the docker or not but figured this would be a good place to start. I installed a hard drive I had laying around (a 320GB disk formatted as ext4) to act as a dedicated disk for transcoding so as not to beat on my cache drive constantly. I didn't want to add the disk to the array or add it as a cache disk so I am utilizing dlandon's Unassigned Devices plugin to mount the drive on boot. I setup my docker to map /transcode to /mnt/disks/transcode/ and made sure that the permissions were set to read/write. I can see that the transcode is working and being written to the disk but it is unbelievably slow, I think the transcode has written about 40MB in two to three minutes to the disk. From what I can tell this isn't an issue with the disk itself as I test copied 1.5GB of video files and it completed in about a minute averaging 90MB/s. Has anyone ever tried to setup the plex docker like this before who might have some pointers for me? Or at least clarify whether this is an issue specific to me and my setup or if others can reproduce the same results.

Well it turns out the icons are there and display correctly when viewing Tower/Main but not under Tower/Main/UnassignedDevices. I tried to view the page in both Firefox and Chrome after clearing the browser cache. That is quite curious. You put Tower/Main/UnassignedDevices in the browser URL. I did that and reproduced what you found. I didn't know that even worked. Let me take a look. Well I am still new to UnRAID 6 and the whole plugin/docker interface and I found that by simply clicking the plugin image under the installed plugins page (at least for some plugins like swap file) I could quickly get to the settings/interface for that plugin. So that is what I did with this plugin thinking that was the quickest way to get to the interface.

Does your Dropbox docker support selective sync (ie I can pick which folders I want to be synchronized)? Do any of the current Dropbox dockers support this? I know it is possible in the official application so if not I might just make a Linux VM and use the official dropbox application for my needs.

I just installed your plugin and it seems to be working fine (I haven't tried to mount anything yet as I am not home) except I seem to be missing the log and script icons in the webgui. I tried removing the plugin and reinstalling from the repo to no avail. Looking in the flash\config\plguins\unassigned.devices\ directory there is no icons folder (which is where the plugin appears to be looking for these icons). Here is a link to my Diagnostics dump: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70586667/void-diagnostics-20160210-1707.zip Let me know if there is further information you would like me to provide.
