Hello all, Am not sure where this question belongs so putting in general support. I am running Unraid with jellyfin media server along with all the darr apps. I really REALLY want something that will automate media file information to a custom template for this kind of information. Here is what I am saying: If the media file has dolby truehd with atmos 7.1, I want to put in the title block of the audio track some kind of template data like "Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Atmos." Some way of creating a template for whatever the audio codec and the speaker count is and applying that data to every file that comes into the server. I have and am using Unmanic but I do not think this app natively does this. Maybe a script? Really appreciate any help that is offered. Thanks so much.

I have been at this for a while. I have never been able to figure out gpu passthrough to vm. I recently purchased a new amd gpu with hopes this would finally make things a little easier. I did see this work 1 time. There was 1 instance that I started the vm with gpu assigned and in the vm, i saw the gpu in the settings menu. never have seen it since. the goal here is to use 2 gpus. i have 1 nvidia gpu in unit and this gpu is set up with nvidia unraid driver plugin and used by jellyfin for transcodes. I have another gpu (amd) that i want to use for vms. I am using no machine to remote into vm from laptop. Here is my xml for the vmVM XML. I have had many variations of this, with changes suggested by spaceinvader vids. I wanted my submission here to be pretty vanilla with only what would be set up by noob template config. Below are my IOMMU groups. From what I remember in all the vids I have watched, these should be fine. I have both gpus seperate enough to not be an issue. please let me know if I have that incorrect. IOMMU info also here in text IOMMUsince screen cap didnt get all relevant info. I have had several different configs in vm manager settings for acs override. as i said above, i dont think my iommu are a problem, so I currently have acs override disabled. When i open vm and check system settings, it does not look to see any gpu. see "upload system information" export here.Upload System Information Finally, I the vm logs are shown here, VM Logs.. Not sure what I am even looking for here. but I am sure this will be needed to determine why it is not working. Thank you for any help that can be offered. Really want to make this happen.

I think I got this working. Thanks for all of the help. I did end up configuring router to reserve IP that it was leasing to the VM. I always thought there had to be a setting or a config within the VM or unraid network settings.

I cannot seem to find specific enough instructions on how to configure my vms to use a static IP address. I just want to set up my VMs to use fixed IP addresses on the network. Please help. Thanks so much.

I kind of thought this was going to be the case. thank you all for the replies and support. So i have ordered an amd gpu and will hopefully have it friday. what i am thinking is that i can then keep the nvidia with the existing plugin/driver config working for jellyfin, and then set up new amd gpu for passthrough to vms. Does this sound like something that should bear more tasty fruit?? Thanks again. Really appreciate it.

I am struggling to get my gpu passed through to vms. I feel like I may be trying to do something that is not possible. I have nvidia plugin/driver installed and I have jellyfin pointed at gpu for hw transcodes. Is this something i can do simultaneously? Can i have the same gpu working with dockers/plugin driver and also pass it to vms? I cannot find anything specifcally saying it cannot be done, but I think i may be over extending it. Thank you for any help offered.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. Really helped me solve issue I was having.

Just want to share another use for this approach. Found this post and thought it might solve issues I am having with plex unable to transcode certain types of audio codecs. I am reading it is likely a folder permissions issue or a linux limit on number of directories plex can monitor; all issues that involve FOLDER permissions or settings. Moving the transcoding to the RAM appears to have solved this problem for me. Thanks so much.
