I tried Windows 10 and Ubuntu. In both cases I couldn't use the iGPU as video/audio output (screen stayed black or I got error messages).

Yes. I think I wrote the same command in my post, or did I miss something?

Yes! I made it work! Instructions: Stop all docker containers (to avoid possible interference on port 8080, see later steps) Install Firefox as docker and set it to network type "host" Also set GPhotosSync to network type "host" Assign port 8080 to GPhotos Sync Start both containers Go into unraid terminal and start the sync via: docker exec -it GooglePhotosSync gphotos-sync /storage Copy the URL and paste it into your firefox docker window (click on black dot, paste into text field, then right click within firefox address bar & paste) Sign in to you google account, follow the process and allow the access for the app. It should say "the authentication flow has completed" within firefox and in the terminal window the sync process should start. Wait for the first backup run to finish. (Just to be safe, probably not neccessary.) Afterwards it is probably a good idea to remove the port 8080 from the config again, because it could interfere with other apps as it's a popular port. Happy syncing! (I use the plugin User Scripts to schedule a daily backup of google photos. Just use the same terminal command as above.)

Same here 😞 Maybe it works if you set it up via the GUI mode directly on the unraid machine!? This would hopefully make the URL to localhost work.

I tried, but no luck. I have a 12th gen cpu. Would be very interested in a solution!

See here:

Aside from Plex: Is there any progress on using the Alder Lake iGPU for VMs as a video output? I didn't try the newest unraid beta, but last time I tried it wasn't working.

What do you mean by that?

Is it generally unstable or only with HDR tone mapping enabled in Plex? I read somewhere in the thread that this is a problem, but I'm not sure if disabling it solves everything.

Does iGPU passthrough to a VM work with unRAID 6.10 RC3? If not, will the kernel 5.16 allow that? @SimonF Maybe you can answer that? Thanks

For me it's stable with an Intel 12 series CPU + MSI Z690 Pro motherboard. Current uptime of 15 days, no complaints.

The MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 has the same controller. Cool, can't wait for RC3!

I have the MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 and the onboard NIC is "kind of working" (100 MBps mode instead of 2.5 Gbps). Does your DDR5 version have the same onboard NIC? When you say that it will be supported in RC3, do you mean with the full 2.5 Gbps speed?

Have you installed the GPU top plugin? See instructions from SimonF here on page 3: I have the exact same hardware (mb + cpu) and GUI works for me with this. Regarding the NIC: For me the NIC works, but only in 100 Mbps mode. Maybe that is enough for you if you are just trying it out? I got a PCI-E network card for about 10 euros and it works fine now with 1 Gbit.

I installed the intel-gpu-top plugin and blacklisted the driver like you said. Now the unRAID GUI mode is working, thanks!!

I haven't set anything like that myself. On the old motherboard+cpu (i5-2500K) the GUI mode just worked. Since switching to the new Alder Lake hardware the screen turns black. This is only for GUI mode, I can still see the command line when I boot without GUI. Maybe unRAID doesn't have the right drivers for the new Alder Lake iGPUs yet? My setup: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 board Intel i5-12600K CPU+iGPU 32gigs RAM unRAID 6.10.0-RC2 no other GPU, only using internal via HDMI Edit: Another info: booting in UEFI mode.

My hardware is the same: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 board, i5-12600k, 32gigs of corsair 3200 ram, running 6.10.0-RC2. I had some instabilities/extreme slowdowns, but this was caused by a failing hard drive which took very long to respond. Now my server has been stable, so it shouldn't be a general problem with the Alder Lake hardware. I didn't do any iGPU passthrough to Plex. One tip: You can create a bootable USB stick via memtest86.com which supports UEFI. I did a full RAM check with this. Took quite a while (whole night), but now I'm sure that the RAM sticks are fine. One question: Are you able to start unRAID in GUI mode on your machine? My screen turns black after bootup, no GUI 😕

Hi all, I am puzzled about a share which just won't use the assigned cache. Here's what's happening: I have a share named "Media" which has the setting "Yes : Cache" (see screenshot below). There is only one cache pool which has plenty of free space (> 800 GB). When I copy a new file from my laptop to this share I see that it gets immediately written to the array and not to the cache. When I check the share size directly after the file upload I also see that there is absolutely nothing on the cache. For another share with exactly the same settings it works as expected, just not with this one. I already tried to set "Use cache pool" to "No" and then to "Yes" again, no luck. Does anybody know what's going on here? Any help/suggestions are appreciated, thanks! (Diagnostics are attached.) unraid1-diagnostics-20220112-2048.zip

Hi, i recently had a disk failure. The disk was still (somewhat) accessible in unRAID, but whenever this drive was connected the whole system got extremely slow (during boot and web interface). I also noticed that during startup the log said something about a slow disk response and that unRAID is switching to a slower connection speed to be able to access that drive. (It didn't help, the drive died quickly...) I hope that this is not your problem and that all your drives are ok. But maybe it's worth checking out.

I have the exact same setup (motherboard + cpu + unraid version). For me the internal ethernet works, but only in 100 MBit mode. Strange... Everything else seems to be working fine with the new Alder Lake hardware.
