Thank you for putting up the howto for it. I just figured when we are nit picking little features/addons like this we have come a long way. ;)

@caynam Here you go. I messed up. I forgot to re-add the done to complete the loop when I was trying to make the folders generic enough. I should of just left well alone and let you edit/figure it out vs trying to be all slick. lol #!/bin/bash #noParity=true #arrayStarted=true #Remove Spaces-Linux and spaces are no good together cd /mnt/cache/Media/in/ for f in *\ *; do mv "$f" "${f// /.}"; done #Create Folder from name and move to final location. File types editable below for FILE in `ls /mnt/cache/Media/in | egrep "mkv|mp4|avi|vob|iso|MKV|MP4|AVI|VOB|ISO"` do DIR=`echo $FILE | rev | cut -f 2- -d '.' | rev` mkdir /mnt/user/Media/in/$DIR mv /mnt/cache/Media/in/$FILE /mnt/user/Media/in/$DIR done I just tested this in my /mnt/Media/in directory I used Transformers the Movie.mkv which was actually a dummy file I created to make sure I'm not deleting the real thing. It converted the file from Transformers the movie.mkv to Transformers.the.movie.mkv and then put that in a folder named exactly the same minis the .mkv at the end. So Transformer the Movie.mkv to /Transformer.the.Movie/Transformer.the.Movie.mkv It even worked when I did Transformers (2007) (720p).mkv Transformers.(2007.(720p).mkv

Currently when you look at the https://unraid.net/download you see many versions simply because LimeTech gives us the ability to downgrade if needed. I constantly see on Reddit and other places people asking if they can upgrade from their current version to a higher version, but they don't want the most up to date for one reason or another. Can the update script be changed to allow for any version that is available from the download webpage?

I have 32GB and I barely use half of it well. Just keep in mind with 256GB he has plenty of room to Transcode into Ram and other things

I'll double check, but last time I looked Guest was disabled. After re-enabling guest it was 192.168.11.* vs 192.168.7.* I disabled Relay in the network settings and its showing up as Local again vs Remote. I don't recall where I read it, but it seemed like a possible fix. I'm also not running required secure connections, which I've heard could trip up some machines. I also re-started 3 phones and an ipad and they are all appearing as local too. I don't know why the relay setting was tripping up my setup, but I'm going to leave it disabled for a bit and see if it fixes the problem I also made sure to add 192.168.7.0/255.255.255.0 in the Lan Network settings. I'm assuming that forces which ever Ip range is in it to be considered local. Currently by disabling relay it seems to be working the way I want it, but I'll have to see what time tells.

I’m running Plex as a docker in unraid. I guess I’ll describe my setup and hopefully somebody will have an idea of what is going on. Plex on unraid server eero mesh network mostly wired backend. 1 router using wifi back end Lots of Apple devices. Ipads, Iphones and a few Apple Tv’s. I’ve noticed some stuttering during video playback and couldn’t figure out why since I’m playing using direct play. I checked the dashboard and it shows video and audio being transcoded and it indicates remote with a bizarre IP address. 192.168.0.1. My network is 192.168.7.x. I’ve never personally had an issue streaming anything in the house, but my son says every once in a while he will watch a movie and it pauses and then streams again. I checked what he is watching and sure enough it shows up as remote in the dashboard. He’s on wifi and it says remote. Isn’t remote for devices that are outside of the network? All of my devices are connected to the same mesh network including all devices wired. I’m not running any separate networks or customized subnets. all 192.168.7.x Is this a remote relay at work? I should have plenty of bandwidth in the house since everything is connected to a 1GB network.

This is something I hacked together a while ago. Remove spaces does what it sounds like because the second half errors out with spaces. The second part creates a folder and moves the file into the folder. its been a long time since I created this and used this so I don't recall if it'll continue to move files since its not in a loop. Hopefully this will at least get you started. #!/bin/bash #noParity=true #arrayStarted=true #Remove Spaces from files prior to creating folder cd /location-of-files for f in *\ *; do mv "$f" "${f// /.}"; done #Create Folder from name and move to final location. File types editable below for FILE in `ls /location-of-files | egrep "mkv|mp4|avi|vob|iso|MKV|MP4|AVI|VOB|ISO"` do DIR=`echo $FILE | rev | cut -f 2- -d '.' | rev` mkdir /location-of-files/$DIR mv /location-of-files/$FILE /location-of-files/$DIR

Done and I skipped the Gift Card. I'd like for somebody else to have a chance to win it.

Yep, can't be any more "move to the array as soon as possible" than that.

Easy do like I did. Set up your user share to backup to the array vs SSD. You can't get any more instant than that.

Nice Job @SpencerJ. Keep in mind everybody he has been working on this for a while and its always been a touchy subject of performance vs economy. Why can't we have a little bit of both? AM I right? With my Current build I'm idling at 36watts and keep in mind I'm using the UPS readings from the dashboard. Here are a few things I use. I've always been a fan of oversized coolers and big slow spinning 120mm fans vs the pancake style. Much Quieter, moves more CFM and has to be way more energy efficient. Also I like the PSU with the fans that never seem to come on unless the PSU starts to warm up. I always recommend as much medal on my case as possible vs plastic because medal transfers heat way more efficiently than plastic. I also use the Dynamix Fan Plugin so my Cage fans are always off and only my exhaust fan is pulling in air unless the drives spool up and then the cage fans come on. I have my Parity drive set to spin down after 30min and my drives at 45min. Your times my vary, but I figure I read way more than I write on a daily basis.

It is my understanding that the mover copies first then removes files. Prior to copying and moving it takes an inventory of files first before it moves.

Any chances of you jus slapping some more Ram in your machine? You would benefit from it later as releases come out and give your machine a little more headroom to breathe.

Did you have any strange symbols in the share name? This is from the Help drop down: The share name can be up to 40 characters, and is case-sensitive with these restrictions: - cannot contain a double-quote character (") or the following characters: / \ * < > | - cannot be one of the reserved share names: flash, cache, cache2, .., disk1, disk2, .. We highly recommend to make your life easier and avoid special characters.

You can always go back a couple of releases if you really need to. https://unraid.net/download Thats a big if you ever need to.

Lol, Nice Job! What honestly stresses me out is when my phone says it has an update and I click update and it reboots a few times and appears to take forever to come back on. At least with unraid you can go into the USB and look for the previous folder and do a quick restore back to an older version if all else fails. Make sure you install the Dynamix File Manager Plugin. Its pretty slick.

Exactly. I was running XFS switched to BTFFS and tried this too. Seemed to help some, but then I messed up my second drive in the pool tinkering around and switched back to single XFS. Switching back to single XFS seems to reduce the writes a lot. From my experience its been the docker container 25GB file and its internal logs that seems to be doing most of all the writes. I think anything limetech does will be more or less be a hack a fix than a true solution, but only time will tell.

I've tried this with my Drive formatted to XFS. Seems to help alot .. https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/stable-releases/683-unnecessary-overwriting-of-json-files-in-dockerimg-every-5-seconds-r1079/?tab=comments#comment-15472

Thank you sir.

LOL, Nice qoute.

Please post up your Diagnostics on your next post.

Yep. Honestly if your watching videos are accessing data it should feel just like normal. I normally limit my writes while I'm adding/rebuilding Parity, but you still can.

Yes its easy to understand, but for some its hard to simply explain it to them so They Understand. At first it was so hard for me to grasp in 2009 I just did Disk shares because nothing went where I told it to go. Until I realized my split levels was all messed up and my High Water was messed up. But I totally get what your saying with your Joke. Its kinda weird, but I'm glad we all kinda half get it. Get it 1/2 get it. Lol

Normally Pre-Sales questions are does Unraid do this and does it do that and the community normally chimes in to help as they can. I'm not a Dev, but I'm going to guess ZFS will be initially supported with the pools that are not currently in the Array. That's just a guess of course. They do look at the requests from the request section and roll out requests as they can. I know they have been baking small things in here and there, but only time will tell when it arrives. I know this exists, but I don't know much about it at all.

Did you set a maximum Ram size so it doesn't blow up your RAM? Kinda like this? https://forums.unraid.net/topic/35878-plex-guide-to-moving-transcoding-to-ram/page/16/#comment-1089634
