I'm slow...... But I'm turning 50 in September myself. Any advice since you're 50 now? Are parts going to fall off or what do I need to do to prepare? 😃

Handbrake NVEC 264 configurable lets you pick container.
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

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?

If you write it’s on and during a parity check.
For me I do the following.
Upload all files to my shares which live on a SSD and using the Mover Tuner they are moved on the 2nd and 15th of the month to the array.
So ideally my Parity is spun up 3x a month on the 2nd, 15th and when my system does a parity check on the 1st.
That doesn’t account for rebuilds thou. That requires reading from the Parity.
I’m not shy to spin up my parity to move files I just figured I’d get a lot faster access from things I access more often from the SSD, but gamble the fact they are not protected for a week or two.

I use Filebot and it creates folders just fine for me. This is the format for mine.

Also get @bonienl attention. Hes pretty nifty at doing this kind of stuff.

My 2GB Cruzer has been kicking strong for the last 9-10 years.
With all the changes to unRAID over the years, files accessed off the USB has dropped dramatically. It more or less loads the OS off the USB into ram and then your USB just sits there nearly in an idle state until you reboot it again.
-
Just remember. Everything you install on your machine to allow remote access somebody else could attempt to use it as well.
-
Honestly its totally up to you that's the awesomeness of unRAID.
Everything TV related goes on my TV drives and everything Movie related goes on my Movie drives.
Currently I have 8 data drives installed so I use Disk 7 for Backups of things in my house such as my Music, Photos, PC backups and home videos that I don't currently keep in Plex. Disk 8 is Basically the whatever else drive. More or less the Misses Dump Drive for her stuff.
The reason I keep things separated like this is so its easier to do disc to disc off the network backups. Meaning I copy Disc 7 and Disc 8 to Portable USB drives and keep on a shelf.
Some might use unRAID like a Jumbo drive and who cares where everything goes, but I'm kinda OCD like and I can't do that. Lol
However the system will do whatever you want, but I like to keep a bit more order to things so its why I do what I described.

Personally I use this Train of thought using Plex
Shares: TV, Movies
Tv Shows Disc 1,2,3
Movies on Disc 4,5,6
I don't allow TV shows to Split seasons simply because I don't want to have to wait for discs to spin up to watch the next episode, but I'm guessing 3-5 seconds really isn't that big of a deal if I did. Lol

I personally believe in the Doughnut theory.

Personally I'd go unRAID with Plex Docker.
Less over head than running unRAID with a windows VM and then running Plex as an application on top of that.

Found this on Plex
The most basic thing to remember is that the more Plex apps you have playing content at the same time, the more CPU power you’ll need. Generally speaking, if you have two Plex apps requiring transcoded content at the same time, that will require about twice the CPU processing power compared to if there was only one app playing content.
If you want very basic minimum suggestions:
No transcoding: Intel “Atom” 1.2GHz (NAS devices based on ARM processors should also be capable of at least one stream with no transcoding)
Single 720p transcode: Intel Core i3 3.0 GHz
Single 1080p transcode: Intel Core i5 3.0GHz
Single 4K transcode: Intel Core i7 3.2GHz
If you’ll need to support more than one simultaneous transcode, you’ll need a more powerful processor.

The Guideline
Very roughly speaking, for a single full-transcode of a video, the following PassMark score requirements are a good guideline for the following average source file:
4K HDR (50Mbps, 10-bit HEVC) file: 17000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p)
4K SDR (40Mbps, 8-bit HEVC) file: 12000 PassMark score (being transcoded to 10Mbps 1080p)
1080p (10Mbps, H.264) file: 2000 PassMark score
720p (4Mbps, H.264) file: 1500 PassMark score

My only advice would be download a trial copy of unRAID on a USB stick and give it a go. Worst case you waste some time or you see the same awesome sauce we see. 😁

Safe Mode disables Plugins/Dockers and in the simplistic terms runs the bare minimum. Sometimes things we add change our settings.
Good catch on the Battery in the Bios. I had a 24hour glitch once because I selected the wrong day. Lol
-
Personally I can't recommend APC enough. I've had really good experience with them.
Plugin in the provided USB cable and unRAID sees it and your good to go.
-
Best Solution would be to
1. Post up a complete Diagnostic.
2. Boot up your Machine in Safe Mode which disables all Plugins/Dockers and see if anything repeats.
3. Boot up Normally and Turn on Essential Plugins/Dockers and see if anything repeats.
That's how I would tackle the situation. It can be literally anything from a bad cable, Docker eating up CPU or Hardware failing.
-
Its your server do what you want. As long as they Plugins don't complain then nobody else will. 🤣

Yep isn't it great. 😀
I'm still running my original case, but I've swapped out 2 psu's, 3 processors, 2nd Mother board, Ram and several Hard drives.
I just dig how it all just keeps working. Lol

Prefer basically tells your system to use your SSD to store the files unless it starts to get full then use your Array and should move them back when there is space available. I like to side on caution and make sure all my files stay on the SSD just in case to make sure nothing goes sideways. Like Possible Corruption.
-
@midasisking Like many I use my SSD for Speed and to reduce the need to spin up my array for Docker Files.
All my Media is on the Array and I want Plex to display my Library instantly vs waiting a disk to spin up.
As for backing up my Dockers I simply use the CA Backup script and UnAssigned Devices to a portable drive connected via USB.

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
