Just upgraded to the newest version and it works perfectly with my dual asrock board! Thank you!!!

I think my issue is resolved. I went into the Tips and Tweaks Plugin and doubled my iNotify watches from 4 million to 8 million, and re-ran the Fix Common Problem scan. It told me I was still running out of iNotify watches. I then went to command line and (after googling) manually looked for the total number of iNotify watches using this command: cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches Lo and behold, my inotify max was still set at the default 524288, even though Fix Common Problems said 4 000 000... I hit the default button in FCProblems, reset everything, and then upped the iNotify watches to 1 million. Sure enough, this time, the command line command showed 1 million watches, and FCProblems agreed... And best of all, no more warnings!

The weird thing is I'm up to 4 000 000, and I'm still getting the message... That can't be right... I could double it again, as I have ram to spare, but I feel I'm just masking an issue. Everything else is running great, just getting that error message...

Thanks! I hadn't considered that... Does it show in black and white iNotify usage, or would we use it to see what is being accessed a bunch, and infer iNotify usage from that info?

Did you ever manage to figure this out? I'm getting the same warning and would like to identify the culprit...

Fantastic! Even better!

Absolutely! Command line works just fine. But the integration with Unassigned Devices is another option if you would like to do it through the GUI and not go through Putty.

Not sure if it will install under 5, but for the record, you can use 6.3.3 and the Unassigned Devices plugin. You can preclear drives that are listed under Unassigned Devices, without having to mount/add them to array.

This is fantastic! Congratulations! Looks amazing Question: Is static not an issue with all the parts exposed like that?

Must be a hardware difference. It certainly is the least involved way to do it, if it works for you

Sure. Can't do it right now, but I'll get a parts list together and post it up asap! As an aside, can you put your server in your forum footer. It'll make it easier for anyone helping out to see exactly what you're running...

For my Mac vm, this did not work for me. It worked in that it passed audio through, but there was some audio artifacts introduced that were extremely annoying (of the hiss/click/pop variety). I tried several different dongles and all of them had the same issue. Perhaps it was just my set up, I don't know...

Not suggesting this would have fixed the issue, or that it is the right way to go, but sometimes when my server refuses to shut down, I try and unmount each disk individually, and then try a powerdown again... umount /dev/disk1 umount /dev/disk2 ... Sometimes it works and I get a clean shutdown, sometimes it doesn't

I find that if all my drives have been unmounted first, powerdown usually does give me a graceful shutdown.

Either a stand-alone pci-e soundcard passed through to the VM (confirm compatibility first), or output HDMI to a HDMI Matrix that has the ability to split the audio channel out to rca/3.5mm. Run the video output to your monitor via an HDMI -> DVI cable. I have this exact setup (Except for the dual dvi part), and it works quite well. Every once and awhile, the Mac forgets audio, and I need to reboot the VM, but it only ever happens when switching between multiple VMs (I have a Win10 VM and a Sierra VM inputting into a 4-port matrix switch).

thanks!

I'm assuming it saves it to the config and doesn't need to be re-done on reboot, right?

Among other things, I believe it works kind of like a dynamic dns service, in that when you're outside your network, you don't need to connect via IP address. You login to a website (https://app.emby.media ? ), and then depending on your user name and password, you are presented with the server/servers that username is linked to. Very handy if you plan on accessing your media from outside your network (Or are sharing your media with others), but as I do not access my media from outside the network, I didn't bother.... Here's more info.

Hurrah! Glad to hear you're set up! Post back and let us know how it goes over . I never made an Emby Connect account. I just made local users. I'm not entirely sure what extra functionality you get with Emby Connect... I did buy a lifetime Emby Premiere membership though. Especially because I'm sure the price will be going up to match Plex in the next year or two... It's nice that you can re-install Kodi now without the hassle of re-scraping your library though, isn't it? re: Music: I didn't like the music functionality that much either. I also removed it from the Emby library. I know other people use and love it for music, so I figure I just wasn't setting it up properly, but for my collection, I usually just navigate to a folder and click on an album. I don't really want any fancy music library functionality... Movie and TV Show management is really all I care about. Oh, I forgot to mention that Emby also does Parental controls quite well, if that is a concern. That feature is even available in the free version of the app.

Thanks for the extra feedback! . So you're still getting the incorrect temp reporting for the cpus, but the extra ram solved the machine check and irq16 problems? Hmmm... I think what I'm taking from this is that you are suggesting that I have to buy more ram to fill the empty slots on my board.... Sounds like my hands are tied... No choice in the matter... !

My pleasure!

Check out the e5-2670 buy thread. There's some discussion in there. This is a bug in the board. I have contacted asRock several times regarding it. Last contact was a week or two ago. They told me they are going to try and work on a bios fix, but I haven't heard anything back yet. You are not alone with this bug. A short term fix that I have implemented is using this ipmi plugin to change the temperature trigger from 90 to 102 degrees for the cpus so they don't trigger the annoying alert... Obviously only a temporary fix, as I would like to have it actually working properly :).

Here's a quote from Joe L, the brains behind the original script, that explains it quite well: When the file is accessed, obviously the drive will then need to spin up, and you will have a bit of a delay before the video plays (if the drive is not already spinning), but otherwise, navigation is pretty seamless. As far as library updates, see below! The beauty of Emby is that it does that sort of housekeeping automatically for you. As soon as I add new content to the server, Emby picks it up on the next scan (I believe the scan for new content is set to run every few minutes), generates a db entry and the associated thumbnails, nfos etc., and saves them to the correct directory. On the Kodi side of things, once you install the Emby plugin ("Emby for Kodi"), as soon as you wake up/boot your media player, Emby feeds the updates to the Kodi db and away you go. It is extremely fast and completely automated. No more "scanning for new content"/"Cleaning the DB" in the Kodi interface. The only downside to the Emby for Kodi plugin is that it is not in the official Kodi repository because to be as fast as it is, it makes modifications directly to the db structure of Kodi and that is against their usage policy. This means you need to install the Emby repository first. Though it sounds a bit scary (the modifying the Kodi db), it's really a non-issue, because all of your meta data etc for your files are now stored outside of Kodi. You can format your media player, reinstall Kodi, and have your library back in action in minutes.... And of course, multiple Kodi media players will share viewed status and content updates. Hope that helps!

Do you have cache_dirs installed? That should take care of the delays your are dealing with. I have used Kodi (XBMC) for years running on multiple clients and pulling video from the server. I used to use mySQL (then MariaDB) to centralize, so watched status etc was shared between players, but I have since switch to using Emby on my server to manage my library. Why you ask? Keeps the library clean and updated at all times (and keeps things synchronized). Upgrading Kodi doesn't lead to a complete rebuild of my Kodi library like it used to. I can transcode and stream to mobile devices without issue. No need for another software package. Though I don't use it, it makes sharing your library outside of your network extremely easy (In fact, if you have upnp set up in your router, it does it automatically upon install - I don't love that.) Disabling that functionality is quite quick and easy though.

Thanks so much! Well done!!
