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?

I was thinking more along the lines that in your original example, emhttp would be run in safe mode but not in normal mode? Shouldn't it be: # Load emhttp before anything else - we always need that running ;-) /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & # If "unraidsafemode" present on kernel command line, skip all add-ons if grep -wq unraidsafemode /proc/cmdline ; then logger "unRAID Safe Mode (unraidsafemode) has been set" #Do your critical safe mode code here. then exit. #e.g. #/boot/unmenu/uu exit else #Other code if not in safe mode. fi

Maybe this code could be included in the default go script to save people who aren't entirely sure from screwing up their installs? Also, shouldn't the start emhttp line appear outside of the if/else statements, since it should always be run?

cron is the tool that lets you schedule tasks at a given time or time interval. The commands and times for those commands to be run are stored in the crontab for each user. unRAID already uses cron to run the mover on a regular basis. There's quite a useful article here about cron, but there's tonnes more information if you search for "cron" on Google

The easiest way is to add the sleep command to your crontab file. Add the following lines your go script: # Set a daily sleep in root's crontab: # Append new entries to root's crontab: cat <<-EOF >> /tmp/crontab.root # Send server to sleep at 23:15 every day 15 23 * * * echo -n mem > /sys/power/state EOF # Update root's crontab: cp /tmp/crontab.root /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root- crontab /tmp/crontab.root -u root You may want to do a few other things, such as check for network or activity, run the mover before sleeping, etc. You'd need to put these things in a script and call the script from cron instead. Take a look here for further information - although read through to the end of the thread, as there are a few changes that need to be made to the posted script. I don't know how you'd go about waking the server up at a specified time - I think you'd have to get another machine to send a WOL command at 6am?

ServersPlus no longer seem to stock the N54L (at least I can't find it on their site any more), but it is on other sites like eBuyer for £109+delivery (after rebate). There are other suppliers that are selling for cheaper according to Google Shopping, but I've never heard of most of them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the motherboard - it could be that the PSU has died, or at least died enough that it can't power everything in the system (I've had that happen a few times before. Found out the expensive way first time round, learnt my lesson next time it happened )

Using Occam's Shaving Device, since you're getting the same reading with two power supplies, you've either got a problem with your power meter, or there's something wrong with the motherboard - what happens if you unplug the power connections to the motherboard?

The licence is tied to the HW ID of a particular flash drive, but if that fails, Tom is usually quite good at sending replacements (although this may take time). Alternatively, you could buy a twin-pack licence and keep one drive as a permanent backup.

Do you have a link for the offer details?

While it might not be able to decode 5.1 or 7.1, surely it would be able to pass it through to an external decoder such as an AV amp?
