attached is log from kodi. kodi.log

So, has anyone had an issue where Kodi will no longer play any files using the jellyfin add on? It was working fine but today it said there was an error and nothing plays anymore.

hey sorry for the ridiculously late reply. I have moved the LSI card to the other slot and limited the speed in the bios for PCIE4 which hasnt caused any issues, however, did you mean this "pcie_aspm=off " from your post?

another note. the second i posted this (of course) it shot up to over 142.3mb.... then it froze. system is no longer responding so i shut it down via the power button and moved the LSI card to different slot. data rebuild started again @ 3.9 mbs. new diagnostics posted added. tower-diagnostics-20240131-1432.zip

I upgraded the hardware and im now using a Gigabyte B760M-C, intel i7 14700k and 64 gigs of ram. For a while now I've had a disk thats shown SMART errors and i finally got a drive via RMA that works (2 previous DOE) Im using a Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (9600i-16 flashed IT) Currently, my rebuild is going @ 4.1mb a sec, 27 days to go 😵 I been searching the forums and i've done a few things, one, check bios for PIC speeds, so far ive done 4.0, 3.0 and auto with no difference in speeds. Ive changed physical PCI-E ports and im using the recommended port for a GPU according to the gigabyte but i also tried the second PCI port. This port, upon boot, gives me a ton of errors, here a copy+paste from the log. "Jan 31 07:48:07 Tower kernel: pcieport 0000:01:00.0: [ 0] RxErr Jan 31 07:48:07 Tower kernel: pcieport 0000:00:01.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:01:00.0 Jan 31 07:48:07 Tower kernel: pcieport 0000:01:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) Jan 31 07:48:07 Tower kernel: pcieport 0000:01:00.0: device [10b5:8724] error status/mask=00000001/0000a000" this error seems to fill up my log but the system still boots (FCP warns me of this - /var/log is getting full (currently 100 % used) The supposed "slower" port that would only run @ 4x didnt give me any errors. Theres no way i can wait a month almost and hope there arent any power issues, or anything else, that would cause me not to have to start the data rebuild all over. To note, i still have the drive with errors, just no connected. Help? tower-diagnostics-20240131-1412.zip

probably just one VM to start with. i was actually thinking between an i5/7. when time comes, i will check prices and go from there i guess.

Greetings all. Long time a forum stalker and Unraid user. Currently, I'm using: ASRock A75M-HVS/ AMD A8-3870 with 8 gigs of DDR3. Other notable hardware is an LSI-9300-16i with 14 drives with cache and parity (68tb) and I plan to add 2 exos 18tb's soon, sitting on a Rosewill RSV-4500U case. Software-wise, I use the suite in 'arr apps, Jellyfin and a few other apps as well such as Krusader, Home Assistant, pihole (2nd DNS). One of my issues is that since my video file sizes are so big (some 60gig) for some movies, the current system struggles so push out multiple streams, and jellyfin crashes. I think the time has come on this 10+ year-old mobo/cpu/ram combo to be retired. I would like to use some VMs (windows maybe) and access it from any room in the house but I am unsure as to what else the future may hold. My plan is to upgrade to an Intel Gigabyte B760M C (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZQ1PWGJ/?coliid=I2JWK4RTH1LTIX&colid=2AH9YPK86IMQO&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_lstpd_5JD8TRAWE37CYA344S2C) and at least 32 gig of corresponding ram. Here is the part that I am unsure of... i want a CPU with integrated graphics (intel 770) and at first, i chose an i9. The price combined made me rethink the idea to an i7. Since my current system is so old with no GPU for transcoding, all my front ends can do the transcoding with the weakest being a simple cell phone, Nvidia shield, an Xbox and other HTPC's. Everything is, for the most part hard ethernet wired and I dont do any compression on my movies. I like that sweet bitrate when I use my almost/projector setup that being ran by the HTPC with a NTC 1660 6gig. The most video streams at one time may be 4. I guess I'm just torn between my CPU choices. Do I go crazy with an i9? will this be a waste? is i7 good enough? or is all this overkill and should I just stick with an i5? On another note, this upgrade should be made to last 5+ years as this hardware is currently 12 years old but only using it for unraid since 2016. Looking at at sub $700 budget for the mobo, cpu and ram combo but the lower, the higher the W.A.F Thoughts? Suggestions? Real world experience? thanks all!

This is my concern actually.

I have to do more research but seems that an x299 board may work with the right cpu. Looked at some server boards but it's way overpriced for my case use

Any suggestions?

Greetings, long time stalker, first time poster. Trying to keep this as short as possible; Currently I have a 14 drive array set up. I want to upgrade my hardware to allow the use of an Nvidia GPU for video transcoding on the fly. I want to use two (which I own but currently only using one) supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 SAS HBA. I would need 3 pci-e slots with the ones for the sas cards at 8x. Can't seem to find the right combination or verification that using all 3 pci-e slots (1@16x and 2@8x) would work. Looking to go Intel this time around. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks!
