After the upgrade from 6.11.5 to 6.12.X (on 6.12.10 now) everything worked just fine including the Plex, mind you I never tried to convert the quality, always played the original quality and it worked no problem. I just tried to downgrade the quality of a movie, and it stops playing. after a min or two it throws an error msg on the client side - plex unknown error occurred 4294967279 All this time the Plex server is reporting all is well and it's transcoding yet it's not playing on the client side: Transcoding is enabled of course. Nothing really changed other than the upgrade. The settings inside the Plex container stayed the same, I do have: /dev/dri I am using linuxserver template, have been since day1 and it worked flawless. CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] Not sure how to proceed here? I tried restarting Unraid server. Restarted the docker still no luck. It just doesn't seem to be playing anything if I change the video quality to anything other then the original. Weird issue or what? Any help is much appreciated. BTW there are some errors in the Plex Log file: May 03, 2024 07:42:58.000 [23395542666040] ERROR - [Req#15754/Transcode/eoqeqk7fd5f4lzu8lu4xtrvb/e19145de-0bb0-4c9b-8b45-d4971eeb029b] [eac3_eae @ 0x14b3a1ee4ac0] EAE timeout!

Thank you for that. It was driving me insane :)). I guess the only way around it is either to break the cache and have 2x1TB but not mirroring or to add larger capacity ie. 2x2TB and mirror.

Hi All, I don't even know how to properly categorize this issue, so I'll try the General Anyway, my current is setup is 2x1TB M.2 for Cache (1TB usable) and then I have 2x20TB for Parity and 6 drives for array (3 are 16TB and 3 are 8 TB) making it 72TB usable. SABNZBd is setup to download first to Cache, and then mover will move the data to array. This works excellent. When downloading I hit my max speed of just under 100MB/s. All is well. The issue ONLY arises when and if I am downloading something that's over 1TB. I'll get Cache low space alerts and all that. so if I want to download something that's 1TB I need to go into the data and set it up to use array instead of cache. Well then the download speed fluctuates from a few KB/s to 50-60-MB/s and it constantly goes up and down. For example: I am thinking it's something to do with the I/O since I am downloading directly to Array. Not sure why that would matter since I have 6 disks in array and even before Unraid I'd download stuff directly to HDDs without any issues whatsoever. I am positive the I/O can handle the speed of my max download, like I mentioned 100MB/s. Again, if I am downloading much smaller files to Cache, it flies. The post-processing also happens super fast and all is well. But with 1TB files I cannot download them into the cache (I tried and halfway thru I'd pause the SAB, then kick off the Mover, wait but since half data is downloaded it already started the extraction and because it's not done the mover doesn't move those to the array, until it's fully processed. What I am confused about is why downloading directly to the array causes soooo much D/L variance.... Thanks in advance for all your help.

Yep, changed to Both and now it's working...YAY!!! Thank you kindly

Hmm no go, same error: vfio 0000:01:00.0: group 1 is not viable Please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.

Will do, many thanks

Downstream, Multi or Both? Which one would you recommend? Thanks

Ah ok, let me try that. thank you

No, I can't even get to that part. at the add VM I get the error so it won't even proceed when I click CREATE

Hello, When I was installing and setting up unRAID I had the onboard GPU disabled. and only used Nvidia 3060 as the main card. Now that unRAID is setup I realized I made a mistake in that since the GPU is "busy" and can't create a Win11 VM with a GPU Nvidia 3060 passthru. I get the following error: vfio 0000:01:00.0: group 1 is not viable Please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. This is what the group 1 looks like and I can't uncheck anything in it as it says "used by unraid": IOMMU group 0:[8086:3e30] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 8th/9th Gen Core 8-core Desktop Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers [Coffee Lake S] (rev 0a) IOMMU group 1:[8086:1901] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6th-10th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 0a) [8086:1905] 00:01.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x8) (rev 0a) [10de:2489] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1) [10de:228b] 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) [15b7:5017] 02:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp Device 5017 (rev 01) I can put a checkmark on the following tho and BIND it to VFIO but that's not what I want. I would like it the other way however: IOMMU group 2:[8086:3e98] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] Any ideas how to get NVIDIA not to be used by unRAID and become avalable? *In the BIOS I enabled the onboard graphics, assigned 64MB to it and the monitor is plugged into that port. The pic comes on no problem using the onbaord video. Nvidia card has nothing plugged in btw.
