You could try PMing Tom or one of the other LimeTech guys, alternatively you could send an email to [email protected] (on the main website under "Contact"...)

You can map Samba network drives in Windows 8 without any tweaks needed, but I don't think that it's possible to add a network drive to the Libraries (so it appears in My Music)

What's the length of your dhcp leases? Perhaps try increasing the time or using a static IP for your player?

Do you have a cheap, non-RTL-based NIC you can use in the server just to see whether it is the RTL drivers that are causing the problem?

I had exactly the same problem when I upgraded - AFAIK, v4 of unRAID never included the Realtek drivers, so the onboard NIC just wasn't used.

and for non-code items such as graphics assets and web layouts etc., you could use Creative Commons.

As someone who has spent most of his working life in the high-end IT market, a vendor tends to be someone who just sells boxes with no or little add-on. A reseller tends to have consultancy and/or support bolted on and offer a more bespoke service than the vendors (AKA box-shifters). The people who build their own hardware with another company's software on top are called OEMs (although OEM is more of a PC term and doesn't really appear much in the high-end IT market).

Mine is turned on 24/7 but spends most of its time asleep - mainly to keep noise down, as it lives in my office.

First thing I would do is turn plex logging on and see what's causing it to crash in the first place.

Not yet. There was a version for 4.7, but I don't believe it's been updated for 5.0 yet.

You've got two options - you could put your server into S3 sleep but leave it powered on 24/7, then just wake it up from another workstation with the Wake-On LAN magic packet. Alternatively, you could use a cron job to shut your server down at a certain time and use a timer on the power socket to turn the power off a few minutes later then back on again in the morning. You'll need to change the power loss settings in the BIOS to "Always on" or similar. Just bear in mind that the second method isn't really possible at the moment, because there's no safe way to shut down the server from the command line at the moment (AFAIK)

I went to the site and followed the instructions, i.e. I typed wget -qO- http://boxcar.nicinabox.com/install_curl | sh - bash <(curl -s http://boxcar.nicinabox.com/install) It added the line to the go script, but the installer didn't drop back to the command prompt, it just hung at the line /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/systemu-2.5.2/lib/systemu.rb:31: warning: Insecure world writable dir /bin in PATH, mode 040777 and I had to press CTRL+C to get to the command prompt, I'll try again later with a clean thumbstick, but I'm not running any add-ons, so I can't see what went wrong.

Also, is your parity 3Tb as well?

As stated elsewhere on the forums, Tom is working on updating the Wiki documentation. Once that is done, he'll release 5.0-stable into the wild. Yes, it's taking a bit of time, but wouldn't you rather have a stable release together with complete and up-to-date documentation?
