Hello, I've recently added a Windows VM to my server so I can use my server to help process some Avisynth scripts I'm working through. I've also got a nice pipeline where the VM will output the intermediate files to the Handbrake dockers watch folder which helps re-encode them with my desired settings and discard the intermediates before I pile up too many hours of lossless HD video. My frustration is that it appears that Handbrake is starving the VM of CPU resources. This renders the VM very laggy and non-responsive (though happily it has neither caused any errors nor starved the Handbrake pipeline). I would like to deprioritize the Handbrake container below the VM to restore some of the VM's UI responsiveness. I was able to make Handbrake play nicely with Plex via "cpu-shares", but that appears to only apply with respect to other dockers. I reject the idea of CPU pinning/isolation to address this because I would like Handbrake to use all available cycles when nothing else is running. Is setting Handbrake niceness the proper answer? How would that interact with cpu-shares? Thanks for your consideration. I apologize if this was addressed elsewhere but a search for unraid+"cpu-shares"+niceness gave few results. I also wasn't sure if this belonged in a more specific forum given it bridges a few areas. Unraid 6.9.2 jlesage/handbrake Windows 10 VM

Are you still open to feedback about the severity of the self update check? I really did not need the adrenaline rush of seeing an error of the app being out of date. I don't think the plugin should consider itself any different from other plugins for out of date notices. Over escalating errors is a good way to have that issue type set for ignored. I find this unfortunate because now I will only notice FCP is out of date when I go to update another plugin. In my opinion, the only time an out of date app should result in an error is if it either leaves a known vulnerability open or has a known data risk. Both items are more nuanced to identify than I expect the app to be able to.

120mm fans will give better performance metrics in every category save space. It's roughly twice the fan area using 120 mm over 80 mm. Always seek to fit the largest fans your hardpoints allow.
