It did not work. I had tried both the stable and dev releases. I had removed the docker and reinstalled 4 times. Each time I would get an error in putty with saying that no socket was available and no killing the process. Each time I looked at the advanced.yaml and nothing had been written to it. So I took the settings from plexreport config.yaml and entered that info into the advance yaml. Once I did that the emails would go out but the webpage would only show the default page stating once report has run this page will show. etc.etc. So I then added the home_page: www/index.html and it poped right up with all the info.

I am happy to report that I have final finished converting all my disks to XFS format. This thread had been of great use, along with buying new 8TB drives. I did not use the recommended rsync command but opted for unbalance plug in. My transfer speeds where in the neighborhood of 55-65MB's. All along keeping a vaild parity, so I am happy. Thank you all for the help

I have installed and it is working great. I had to modify the advanced.yaml. It seems that nothing in the settings of the docker are written to the advanced.yaml. Some lines I modified to work. web: home_page: www/index.html <--------------added this line title_image: 'img/nowshowing.png' logo: 'img/logo.png' headline_title: 'Just added:' headliners: 'Laughs, Screams, Thrills, Entertainment' footer: 'Thanks for watching!' language: 'en' plex: server: 192.168.xxx.xxx <--------------Added this line api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <----------------Addd this line plex_user_emails: 'yes' mail: address: smtp.gmail.com <--------Added port: 587 <------------Added username: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <--------Added password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <------------Added Once i had added all that it works great. Web page displays and emails are sent. Just re-ran the report but this time at interval 7 instead of 1 and the docker will need to be restarted in order for the webpage to refresh the updated info. I have been testing this out with putty. Command I use is docker exec nowshowing combinedreport -d -t Thanks

That sounds excellent. The report as it is now works fine , just that I have too much crap. With the new features I could set it for delivering an email every 2 days and that would sort of keep everything fresh for my family members to see. Thanks .

I just set this up and sent a test email to myself and have like 30 movies and around 40 episodes. Then new TV series. Sending that much info out on an email is too much. I thought maybe to limit both to around 5 each. This would limit the amount of info and make sending the email quicker.

Was wondering if there is a way besides editing the .erb file to limit the new release info that is shown?

Yes I was going to say that in my initial post. The dvr is indeed managing it's own network, so traffic from I cameras don't interfere with normal lan connections. You may want to look into switching on of your computers to acting as a dvr. The dvr server ip has a loopback of 127.0.0.0 with a network ip of the 192.168.xxx.xxx. I forward it's internal ip to router for outside access. All traffic is then handled by dvr without flooding of the local network. I have recording on a 2 week cycle, overwriting old data. From the recordings I can then use my unraid server to store additional over flow recordings if needed.

I run 16 IP cameras and have them wired with these switches TRENDnet TPE-TG81g. These in turn are fed into a dvr. The dvr is fed into the router. Besides the dvr into router I also have other switches fed into router to expand my network to other areas of house/office. I have no problem with buffering issues on my NUC while watching a movie from my server. All cameras can be seen on the local network and or can be seen outside of the network, ie , iphone, tablet or remote computer..

I cant help you with the commands but I had just done this exact same thing. If your movie folder is shared on your network, mine is , I opened up that folder on my windows machine and used the search for extrathumbs. It took a bit but found all folders and I selected all and deleted. Done

If you are using the plugin with unassigned devices, there should be a red X next to the pre-clear that will stop it.

Here is a drive test I did

I have no problem with phasing them out at long as I can get my share first at this price.

Yes it has the 8TB archive drive in it. Just bought 6 at 189 and thought that was a great price. Now at 179, thinking I may need a few more.

I would agree but might pick one up for a parity drive. I had just purchased 6 of the 8TB archive models. Newegg had a sale on the external ones with additional 10 dollars off, bring the price to 189 per enclosure. Cheap storage. Ya I voided warranty with pulling the drives out but with the price difference between the external and a bare bones drive of up to 50 dollars. I thought I take the risk.

I had done 3 pre-clears on that drive. Now ready to install.

I have gotten that error in my Plex also and found numerous articles from a google search. One that peaked my interest was from moving files around on server. I have been clearing data off drives and converting to XFS format and think Plex may not scan all the correct paths back for the media. I know that even with the error my Plex has still performed ok.

Just finished pre-clearing a 8TB Seagate Archive results: Cycle elapsed time: 45:07:31 | Total elapsed time: 45:07:33 # Step 1 of 5 - Pre-read verification: [15:03:56 @ 147 MB/s] SUCCESS # # Step 2 of 5 - Zeroing the disk: [14:58:37 @ 148 MB/s] SUCCESS # # Step 3 of 5 - Writing unRAID's Preclear signature: SUCCESS # # Step 4 of 5 - Verifying unRAID's Preclear signature: SUCCESS # # Step 5 of 5 - Post-Read verification: [15:04:50 @ 147 MB/s] SUCCESS Thought that may help you on the time.

Read through that. It will help.

I will get those diagnostics for you. I did confirm that the Seagate is only seen when connect to motherboard sata controller. After parity sync I connected into the 5x3 which is from the supermicro controller and started . Unraid stated disk missing. I then tried through the HP h220 controller and same thing.disk missing. I then connected one cable from motherboard to one connector on the back of the 5x3. Unraid shows missing disk. So I can not confirm if it is the bus controllers or the 5x3 cages. I have 3 cages and tried one spot of each cage with always the same outcome. Missing disk. What is confusing me is that I have other 8TB seagates in the array through the 5x3 cages. I will get the diagnostics for you. May take a bit, Have to pull tower out again. Thank you

I have been in the process of converting my disk to XFS format and all is going fine. In the meantime I have a new Seagate 8TB Archive drive pre-clearing on another test box I have. The pro-clear finished and last nite I thought I would install it in my main box, replacing a WD 2TB green drive formatted to XFS. I do a clean powerdown and take out WD green drive and install new Seagate drive. Power server back up but server does not see new drive. I have 3 of the Seagates already in array and thinking WTH. Powerdown again and switch the new seagate to a different position in array. start sever back and still no device shows up. NowI power down again and connect the Seagate to the motherboard and it now shows the new drive. So now I am wondering if mt 5x3 Norco's are the problem. But still have 3 other new seagtes installed in the same 5x3 Norco's. Running a parity sync now but will find out later if once I take it off the motherboard connection and try adding it back into the 5x3 if the problem persists. Any ideas in the mean time is helpful.

Everything went smoothly and I must had had some excess gas with a lot of brain farts the other day. Have drive converted to XFS now and will continue with the rest. Thank you all once again.

I will let everyone know tomorrow. Should have another drive empty tonight sometime. Ready for XFS . Thank you all.

This is exactly what I had done after removing all data from that disk. Problem was the format was grayed out and would not let me choose the xfs format, only could add back to array with the reiserfs format. That is why I went to the other steps, thinking that the disk was holding some info from preventing me to format to xfs. Like I previously stated, only empty share folders remained on disk... Would that prevent the disk from formatting? I am moving data from another drive now but will post a screenshot if I run across that again. .

I moved everything from disk3 to where ever....Stopped array and changed the format to xfs...started array but array just saw the disk as reiserf format. So need to rid the disk3 of that format. before I can add it back again. The array sees the same disk3 going back again and says hey it's a rfs , so nothing new here. But if I destroy that partion and then add it back, it will format to xfs. The disk in question previously had user shares on them, so what is left after the move with Unbalanced is empty folders. I could ssh into and delete this but seems just as simple to just delete from the Unassigned devices. The quote from unbalanced thread was from a parity disk going into the previous disk slot, so array saw that as no Fs on it.
