Thanks, I'm going to move the data off that drive as I am 100% certain it is valid. Now the million dollar question, what entails performing a New Config?

The drives are assigned to the right spot, i never re assigned any of them. In the array operations I can not do a parity check correcting parity as one of the drives is reporting invalid data content and the option is not available.

What I want to to do is essentially punt the existing data on the parity drive, and then rebuild the data on parity drive from scratch using the existing state of data in my array. What I'm thinking of doing is stopping the array, formatting the parity drive, and starting the array with the blank disk. Will this rebuild the parity bits on the parity drive?

I stopped the array, mounted the disk manually via ssh and moved data off it.

No I kind of did it my own way using the move command.

So I messed up and moved some data off a drive while the array was down. Now the server is reporting "Invalid Data Content" for the said disk status. It's not faulty or invalid, I moved data and formatted the drive. Everytime I boot up now it attempts to rebuild the parity. Can someone tell me if the option "Rebuild will start Data-Rebuild." in Array Operations will rebuild the disk in question (invalid data disk) or the actual parity disk?

That's the biggest piece of nonsense I've ever heard. I've been using 3rd party apps to change and manage foreign movies for years. Truth is XBMC and Kodi never catch everything properly and hence a manual scrape via a 3rd party app is necessary. Also a lot of these apps ate written specifically with xbmc/kodi in mind. Tiny Media Manager is a perfect example.

You can also use the instructions found here: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Remotely_update_library

You need to instruct the application that manages your media to send a notification for an update to the headless instance or in command line on your server type: docker exec KODI-Headless kodi-send --action="UpdateLibrary(video)"

I guess I didn't really ask the right question, either way I figured it out. Thanks

So here is what I have done. I got a new drive 3TB... I stopped the array and removed disk 2 (reiserfs) from the array, and added the new 3TB disk to the array formatted as XFS... I mounted disk 2 to a folder... I copied all contents from disk 2 to disk 11 via the "cp -ruv" command, disk 11 is the new XFS drive. My intentions are now to format the existing disk 2 to XFS and move contents from another disk to it. After I move the contents of another disk to the XFS formatted disk 2, I will perform the same to the other disks . How do I remove the previous disk from the array and re add it as XFS? Or would I just stop the array add disk 2, start array and format it to XFS?

Does this mean that existing keys need to be upgraded/generated for the new licensing model?

Don't mean to hijack this from Sparklyballs, but you might want to look into the MediaBrowser3 docker as well, I find it works better for me than Plex. A buddy of mine maintains it. https://github.com/HurricaneHernandez?tab=repositories

I found that something similar happens in Couchpotato, changing the network from Bridged to Host helps.

Does that mean you'll be maintaining both docker containers?

How can I install mysql? Is there a link to the doctor? Or any link? Download the MariaDB docker and then follow the installation instructions on the Kodi wiki. http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL

that's easy enough add -p <port>:8080 to the run command replacing <port> with whatever you want, you can then connect to the webserver and notfications through that port. Oh yeah, was thinking that but then thought the net=host command negates that. Thanks. What's the best method for removing and then running the command again, a full image removal and download or is there an easier way? Now for a silly question. When loaded, what should I see when I browse to the url? I see the kodi logo and then like 5 menu items, profile, movies, TV, music and maybe one more. Should I expect to see settings or anything? I am trying to come from plex, so my thought of what to expect on the server is from there, but that expectation is likely way off. It's headless, so not much, the logo and the menus us a good sign. Generally a headless instance is for updating your library/sql db. This is useful for a couple reasons, one, you're able to stop and resume play in another room, two, you can have your media players(kodi/xbmc) hit that db and when they start up their libraries week be up to date. As for the command, I'm not sure.

Sounds good.

You can have a cache drive and install apps on it since most apps on Unraid run in memory. And if you make your cache drive an SSD, then you're golden. Also including a cache drive for it's intended purposes, cachings downloads, won't make your HD stream buffer when your server downloads large content. But I digress.... Back on topic, has anyone had an issue where their headless is unable to write to the music database? It creates it but will not scan content into it? I recreated the Music db by stopping the headless and punting the exisiting database, then I start the headless again, and it creates the new Musicdb. In command line via SSH on my server I run the following command to begin a scan for Music... curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://192.168.1.151:8089/jsonrpc Minutes later I check the db with HeidiSQL the db is created, but it's empty. Checking the XBMC log it does not indicate that a scan ever ran the last ling in the log is... NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Finished scan. Scanning for video info took 00:46 Thoughts?

Yes

Because unraid wont touch it at all, no chance of unraid moving any of the data or deleting it. Your annoyance, or refusal to type ls -la or setting view hidden folders in Windows, might not be others. I have had hidden folders on the cache drive for a while now, they're actually rather convenient. Setting view hidden is a global setting that then effects the whole desktop. Annoying. Setting a directory tree, like /apps to cache only will stop unRAID touching it if you choose to use a cache drive for its intended purpose. Many use cache drives purely as app drives so there is no moving issues. But it's not only for a command line. Trying to point an app's gui, like kodi, to a directory under a hidden share is nigh on impossible. Because pressing alt+v is difficult, I get it. You can install apps to a cache drive, and it's not impossible to point anything to a hidden drive, in Windows your use the $ at the end of the folder name, in Linux you use a . that precedes the folder name. I have done it on Linux and Windows many times. Even xbmc/kodi do it with their .xbmc or .kodi folders.

Better yet create a hidden folder something like: /mnt/cache/.config/xbmc/userdate The period preceeding the folder name indicates a hidden folder. The mover does not touch anything in a hidden folder

@sparklyballs where can I find the log file in both the Gotham and Kodi headless servers?
