Im running 6.9-RC30 I could fire up my other machine to test on 6.8.3 if you think there are significant changes from 6.8.3 and 6.9-RC-30 This is the output via User.Scripts: Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/zzzzzzz-test-zzzzzzzz/script Note that closing this window will abort the execution of this script Process substitution test /mnt/user/Movies/All/Yours,.Mine.&.Ours.(1968)(480)/Yours,.Mine.&.Ours.(1968)(480).mkv /mnt/user/Movies/All/Zootopia.(2016)(720p)/Zootopia.(2016)(720p).mkv /mnt/user/Movies/All/xXx -.Return.of.Xander.Cage.(2017)(1080p)/xXx -.Return.of.Xander.Cage.(2017)(1080p).mkv Piping test /mnt/user/Movies/All/Yours,.Mine.&.Ours.(1968)(480)/Yours,.Mine.&.Ours.(1968)(480).mkv /mnt/user/Movies/All/Zootopia.(2016)(720p)/Zootopia.(2016)(720p).mkv /mnt/user/Movies/All/xXx -.Return.of.Xander.Cage.(2017)(1080p)/xXx -.Return.of.Xander.Cage.(2017)(1080p).mkv

Nope. I just cut and pasted your script up above and changed the paths to my Movies and TV shows.

Just gave the new Script a try and this is the output.

On the Multiple Video Path does it split the Paths 50/50 =50% so 25%/25% of Ram? or does it run the first path and then run to the second path until the 50% of ram is used up?

Yes my Given movie path is /mnt/user/Movies/All/ OH NO....... I used /mnt/user/Movie/All/ I just checked my Log. I see a lot more info populating since adding the s. 🤪 I'll let that run until I get off work and try again. Talk about feeling kinda dumb.

When I checked the log in User.Scripts it just said the following and nothing else: Available RAM in Bytes: 16G Here don't know the exact digits so I just paraphrased it. Amount of Videos that can be preloaded: 110 I used Plex to view the File on my AppleTV. I'm not 100% sure if any Transcoding was needed. Its a MKV with 6CH/AC3 Audio. I'll look again this Evening for a 2CH video or try it on TV shows since a lot of mine are ripped to 2CH. I have no issues with buying more Ram. I just want to see this work before I lay out the money to 32GB.

Just gave it a try and didn't seem to cache right. Clicked on a movie that was maybe 15movies back from the newest and spooled up a drive just like it always does. No buffering just sat there and waited for the Movie to start.

- I was reading about the precaching and storing on on SSD on Redditt. That's a very interesting idea which would save everybody money if they have to up their Ram or simply another option. - Could you put in a pre-test or simply a way to say, "Scan 10 files and test" vs a scan everything you can and find out your existing settings are not a enough? Depending on some peoples Media and Ram it could scan for a long time just to find out they should either up the amount cached or lower. Could be something as simple as: #####Uncomment below#### #Test Scan only 10 Files #Full Scan Also Could there be a (Cache, Flush and Cache or maybe a Compare and update)? If Changes are made. No idea how you intended to address changes in users scans if they need to update their amounts or if files are added/removed. I'm assuming Plex simply wouldn't show the file, but not sure how removing a file would affect the Cache. Are you planning on adding this as a Plugin in the future? Something that could be added to CA and updated or keeping it simple as a User.Script? Both work obviously, but just something for you to think about in the future.

It said 110 in the script output from User.Plugin. I'm only running with 16GB of ram. Depending on how this goes I wouldn't have an issue with upgrading my RAM some. I had to run to work while it was running, but I'll try and give it a try this evening. I guess it will get beat up some by my kids while I'm at work so It'll be interesting to see what remains in Cache/Buffer while I'm gone.

I like your experimenting here. How about the last 10 Movies?

From your Example which is the complete up today with all changes directory? I'm asking because I'm rather intrigued

I just have my Movie and TV shares setup to Cache "Yes" and use the Mover Tuning Plugin below that I have setup to check at 20% and move files that are older than 30days. Of course you can use whatever number of days you like or % of files. Why 20% well that means unless the Share is at a minimum of %20 Full it won't even look at any files that are at least (Specified Date Old Here) on the drive. I had it set to 50% and felt that was keeping files to long on the drive and wasn't moving them. 30 days might be two long and that can easily be adjusted. I had it set to 15 and found it was just a bit two short. I'm guessing 21 days might be the magic number, but everybody is different. I also have the mover set to Daily trigger at 3AM so it doesn't interrupt anything. I might change to around 6AM since that is when I have Plex Maintenance setup and drives are spinning Looking for at least 20% which I'm normally at 47% because of Docker content and a smaller SSD It'll look for files that are 30days and move them Keep in mind the below script only works on the "Cache Pool" It will not work on other pools people create. Might work in the Future, but currently it does not. I use the Feature of only Optimizing 10 Movies that are Transcoded onto a SSD and later moved to a Share by unraid simply so I don't add a bunch and forget to clean house. Keep in mind those files are only for a Portable drive I Dock using Unassigned Devices. I don't add a lot of movies, but when I do its pretty easy to keep track of them. TV shows I rip are a different story. I don't Optimize them so I don't worry about them other than keeping them on the SSD for a period of time. I totally get I could just us Rsync or find with a time in days or whatever, but some basic plugins that solve some basic needs work just great for me.

I use the Mover Scheduler script to keep my newest content on my SSD for 30days so I'm not spooling up my HDD's except for content that is older than 30days. So if anything that is newer "needs" to be transcoded its accessed nearly instantly coming from the SSD and Transcoded into Ram. My Kids seem to love it, because they often watch the same newest stuff over and over. I also often copy my newest Movies I add to a portable to take on Road Trips, but I want the files to be 2Channels. I added a Sync on my account to automatically Optimize the 10 newest movies to my profile using the Filters within the Plex app on my phone so when I add something new it fires off a Transcode and stores it. Of course it'll delete files if I don't copy them fast enough since I have it set to 10, but I'm normally pretty good about catching it.

I think you have an interesting idea and I would suggest running this through Limetech first just to make they have some input with this. They have had vendors doing various things here before and maybe they can give you some positive or negative feedback to help you decide. Tagging some of the guys below that you might want to reach out to if you actually do proceed in this. 😁 @jonp @SpencerJ @limetech

Thanks. I only have the Ender 3 Pro right now, but I did do the Kickstarter for the Ender 6SE which should be here I'm guessing in September.

Ok so I'm to assume I can use my Unraid machine for Octoprint vs using my Raspberry Pi 3B? Plugin USB and go? I'd rather harness the power of my Quad Core Xeon than using the little Raspberry Pi. Found some chatter on Reddit. This is kinda amazing. Lol

Yes. Problem with it, its converting my audio from AC3 to Stereo MP3 or maybe it was Stereo AAC. I forget. Lol I just want to convert all non h264 to mkv or mp4 and retain audio. I don't need anything audio wise converted. I also have a plugin running that takes multi channel Audio that isn't AC3 and converts it to AC3. I can't run Multi channel AAC on my reciever. I really don't have to convert my non h264 files, but it would greatly reduce the file usage on my drives.

I noticed this on my screen. Says off for my Libraries. Does this mean its not currently running or does it mean they are disabled. I only have two Libraries and I checked both Libraries neither have indications of being turned off and I can't find any settings anywhere to disable any operations. Just checking since this is a rather new Docker to me. I'm thinking its because my schedule was set to 1AM and its not 1AM. I rescanned my Libraries and then checked every hour and The OFF indicator went away. LOL

Is there anyway to convert .avi files to h264 in mkv container? I looked thru the Plugins and didn't see anything of the sort. I did see a lot of h265 stuff thou. I'm basically converting my entire library into mkv Ac3 if in Multiple channels I tried to create a plugin using the Plugin Creator and it said it created the plugin and added it to local. However when I view local it does't show up. **************************update********************** Took a few refreshes of the screen and it showed up. Its obvious I don't really know what I'm doing. Lol

@darkreeper Thanks for the Clarification. I meant is when it deletes the original. I'm good thou. I just have to let the docker do its thing and stop being so paranoid. lol

I have a HUGE library full of Videos and I'm a littler leary about releasing this Docker on it. So of course for testing I created a Dummy folder for it to play in In the past I put a flag on my files so they couldn't be deleted unless I unflag them I'm assuming Tdarr can't delete my files either so it would more than likely scan, copy to temp folder, transcode and put back into the directory my files reside. Is it going to continue to process the files it can't delete or will it flag them in the database as done and move on?

@z0ki I use Filebot and it creates folders just fine for me. This is the format for mine. Transformers(2007)(720p) /Transformers.mkv

Watch this Video. He covers various things, but 2/3 thru the video he hits Time Machine. Mine has been working Flawlessly for a while now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J955nNIdo0

Simply put and taken from the FAQ and a HUGE advantage IMHO. 😀 Q2. Why has this docker image been created, as we already have a unraid preclear plugin?. A2. Due to the fact that plugins rely on the underlying OS (Slackware) in order to run, any changes made by Limetech can potentially lead to a breakage with the preclear plgin, this has historically happened a number of times and is unfortunately a fact of life. So how do we try and mitigate this from happening?, by using Docker, this then gives us a known platform from which to run the preclear script, and should reduce the chances of this happening. So if LimeTech makes system changes the Docker can stay in tact and still perform like intended.

@IamSpartacus Took me a while to find this post, but @Squid added a new feature to one of his Plugins that might help your situation some. CPU and I/O Priority during Mover. 😀
