Something is not right in here.
Plugin tried to backup external volume while is configured not to do so.
I'm glad it didn't tried to this for radarr

This app does not longer work
Replace /frontend with /config while installing
Tried every single solution in here - no luck, just refuses to connect to plex

Had the same problem. Just couldn't delete a share from unraid./shares
Tried MC - no luck as well
Solution was dead simple in my case
- Rename the share in unraid/shares (don't forget to apply)
- Tick `delete` then apply. It worked straight away in my case

Unfortunately, after much research, I'm sorry to say that it is "simply impossible".
To make a long story short: HP has a very peculiar approach to kernel development for the motherboards used in their pro-sumer server line. Even though HPE is targeting this server to the SOHO/SMB group, which would put it in the middle of the Plex clientele, they decided to use the Intel SPS firmware which doesn't allow the Intel Quick Sync (aka hardware acceleration on CPU). (The pseudo-official statement is that "SPS firmware is required for the server features of the microserver Gen10 Plus" but I couldn't find any more than that).
There are only two roads ahead:
- You could insert a low-power graphic card (nVidia Quadro p400 is the go-to choice due to low power requirements) and use it for hardware transcoding, even though this means sacrificing the use of a PCIE-to-nVME adapter board.
- Or you could rely on CPU "brute-forcing" for Plex transcoding: I tested it with an i9-9900T up to two concurrent streams being transcoded and while it worked the core use was - predictably - crazy high, meaning that other apps (docker, VM) would be negatively affected.
I didn't want to sacrifice the nVME SSD and I wasn't too keen on using all my cores for the transcoding, since it was something I use a lot while travelling, so I decided to move Plex on a dedicated mini-host: I'm using and HP EliteDesk G2 equipped with an i5-9500T where the Intel QuickSync is available for Plex to take advantage while keeping the power requirement as low as possible.
Honestly, I wish I had known this before upgrading to the Gen 10 Plus and before investing into it: coming from a Gen 8 I was stupid enough to assume that Quick Sync would be supported also on Gen 10 Plus.
I was afraid you gonna come back with such info.
I've read somewhere that is possible to change SPS firmware to ME, although I haven't seen any information about how to actually do it.
Also I've found this guide below, which shows something that might help us. Strangelly I do not see such options when accessing RCBU, but currently can't even check as ILO4 refuses my default login.

In legacy mode, does the motherboard have various USB boot options? Some sticks show up as USB removable devices, some as USB hard drives, it can be hard to figure out the right BIOS options to successfully boot. USB compatibility options in the BIOS can come into play as well.
Also, try the separate boot device menu, some BIOS use the F8 key, some require you to get into the first part of BIOS setup and offer up a "one time boot" option. If that works, chances are you can find a combo of BIOS options that will allow success with a normal boot.
It does have some option but not so much really.
Usb stick doesn't seems to be properly recognised in legacy mode as there is no brand/name displayed as usual.
This must be something to do with usb sticks themselves as the other ones work just fine.
I've checked every single setting but nothing helped to start it in Legacy mode.
Booting in UEFI works just fine

Once that completes, extract the contents of the installation zip file to it, and run the make bootable script.
See if it boots properly then.
Nope, nothing changed. System refuses to boot from this stick in Legacy mode.
UEFI works just fine -

Found one of the drives.
What options what you suggest to use in rufus?
Boot selection?
Syslinux?
4.07 or 6.04?

You usually do that with a physical jumper on the motherboard itself.
Good tip but unluckily for me this doesn't seems to be documented anywhere
There is two multi switches on the mobo, one not documented at all, the other only briefly.
Considered experimenting with undocumented switches but this will most likely lead to a disaster.
S1Off
Off = iLO security is enabled.
On = iLO security is disabled.
S2Off
Off = System configuration can be changed.
On = System configuration is locked.

Hi everyone,
I know the topic is “old and complex” and many answers have been provided – with many guides here on the forum – but I’m at a total loss and I can’t figure out what else to do.
My System:
- HPE Proliant Microserver GEN 10 Plus
- UNRAID 6.12.2
- RAM: 32 GB EEC
- CPU: Intel i9-9900T (I’ve done my due-diligence: Quick Sync is supported by this CPU. Intel Ark sheet)
- 4 HDD – 3 Drives and 1 Parity Disk
- 1 NVME SSD mounted on a PCIe SSD M2 Expansion Card as Cache
- 1 USB SSD, not assigned to the array. Used as external extra storage for docker config files.
What I have tried so far:
I’ve read most – if not all – the guides here on the forum, from oldest to newest including:
- guide-plex-hardware-acceleration-using-intel-quick-sync
- add-intel-igpu-qsv-quick-sync-encoding-to-official-plex-media-server-the-easy-way
- guide-plex-hardware-acceleration-using-intel-quick-sync
- devdri-is-missing
- solved-692-transcoding-with-intel-gpu-missing-devdri
- unable-to-get-intel-integrated-gpu-usable-in-unraid-containers
Then I did “the usual”:
- Install “Intel-GPU-TO”
- Install “GPU Statistics” – for a quick glance after each try
-
Executed intel_gpu_top in console, which reported the following:
-
Tried executingmodprobe i915andlsmod | grep i915which reported the following:
-
Checked for the existence of the /dev/dri folder which contained the following: (in my understanding there should be something else except for card0 when things works out as intended)
-
I tried searching the BIOS, and I ended up trying Disabling (and then Enabling) the “Embedded Video Connection” option is System Utilities --> System Configuration --> BIOS/Platform Configuration --> Advanced Options
-
I made sure my Server has all the firmware modules updated: I have installed the SPP Service Pack “SPP2023030000.2023_0323.27” and the Patch Bundle “P64601_001_2023.03.00.02.17”.
- I even tried removing the HPE ILO Card because I’ve read somewhere (I can’t find it anymore) about it being the cause of the problem. Same results as above.
“That’s all folks” point of arrival:
Then I came along a bit of troubling news here: microserver-gen10-plus-and-intel-quick-sync
If I’m not reading this wrong – and I sure hope so! – this would indicate and inherent problem with the “Plus” version of the HPE Microserver GEN 10. But there seem to be mixed feedback from “the internet” about this, and I’m not sure what to think.Is there anything else which I could try to enable Quick Sync / iGPU / Transcoding on this server, according to your knowledge?
[ Thank you for your time just reading all this…]
Did you get anywhere with this?
I'm having exactly the same problem with ml30 gen9 and e3-1275 v6 and no solution. -

Disable you ILO and the integrated GPU which is located on the motherboard and try again.
I really can't help because some implementations from the manufacturer doesn't allow GVT-g
Disabled ILO but this didn't help.
Struggling to find anything to disable iGPU
BTW. Do I need to reinstall the plugin after any changes to detect them? -
HP Proliant ML30 gen9, CPU Xenon E3-1275 v6 which is mentioned as supported.
I've spent a few hours checking BIOS for any related settings but can't find anything at all.Any help investigating the problem would be much appreciated
Apparently those boxes have additional ancient `GPU` built in for ILO and this causes the problem.
Googled like crazy but I have not found any solution for this.
Attached diagnostics and hoping that someone can help solve the problem.
Strangely it works just fine on my other HP - Proliant ML10 gen9 with Xenon E3-1225 v5 -

I could but...
Bit of a problem.
Two of them ended in a bin, last remaining stick that does not work in Legacy mode is my old unraid stick which is blacklisted, so can't install unraid on it any longer.

Are you using the IPMI video chip? Many motherboards don't expose the iGPU unless you are using it.
I'm not entirely sure how to answer this question.
Mentioned box is HP Proliant ML30 gen9 with HP ILO4.

Attached diagnostics. Please have a look if you have a spare minute or two -
Since this is a top search result I'll give an answer in here.
So I spend a lot of time trying to boot in Legacy mode.Issue is very simple.
Some flash drives will not be seen as bootable in Legacy mode no matter what.
Tried 4 different drives.
Only one of them booted in legacy mode, the other 3 only in UEFI.
Experimented with those 3, deleted partitions, formatted them, reinstalled unraid from creator, run the `make_bootable` script, nothing helped. Just totally nothing.
The one that worked in Legacy was (no surprise) the oldest one I have. Probably 7-10 years old -
Did you ever get it sorted? I'm having the same problem. Unraid refuses to see iGPU from my xenon E3-1275 V6

Ok, so how can the download continue in the background?
No idea. Installed step by step from here.
Added hundreds of albums to webui.
tidal-dl downloads them one by one untill webui is still open
once the tab with webui is closed it will finish downloading album that is in progress but will not start another one from the list.
Tried many times. Always the same result. -

Are you using tidal-dl -g?
I'm using tidal-dl comand and i'm finding a solution to keep going download even if i close the terminal
I'm using the docker above with the settings exactly as described.
Need to have a look how -g can be useful in here. -
I've noticed very annoying bug.
Closing webgui will cause the script to finish current download but will not continue with the rest of the list.txt

Okay, I have now created a Docker template that runs Tidal-dl. However, I can only set the quality, login and download via the console of the Docker container using the tidal-dl command. A nice graphical gui would be much better, of course.
Here is my Docker template.The setting for config is not needed
Thanks for making this up. It actually works.
`Gui` is just perfect. Simple one button. done.
Needed to restart couple of time cause it just refused to create .json files. Possibly tidal was active somewhere else.
The only downside is that the files downloaded are created with some very weird permissions:-rw-r--r-- 1 sshd sshd 23M May 18 01:24
vs typical one for unraid
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 2.5K May 18 01:26 ../
Any suggestions how to change this? -
Plus one for all those request.
Not being able to access unraid from mobile/tablet in 2023 is a bit of shame for limetech

Option to run a custom script (ie: notifications) upon completion.
This is really usefully script.I'm wondering if there is any chance to add an option to move the folder only if the files inside (inc subfolders are NOT hard linked.
Basically, to move unique files only, as moving hardlinks in between the drives makes a copy of the file.In result even more space is taken.
I'm using this to find not hardlinked media files
find /mnt/user/data/media* -type f -not -path "*/Scenes/*" -not -path "*/Behind The Scenes/*" -not -path "*/Trailers/*" -not -path "*/Featurettes/*" -not -path "*/Other/*" \( -iname \*.mp4 -o -iname \*.mkv ! -iname "*gag*" ! -iname "*sample*" ! -iname "*blooper*" ! -iname "*Outtake*" \) -links 1 -print | sort
