So 2 years and 2 months used. 0 reallocated sectors nice! 138826GiB writes that is 138TB ? btw this SSD has TLC memory.

Yeah, good one! Maybe it's better to just cache the tv shows and not the movies or other stuff. Then I'll can use it a little longer. At the moment I'll rather prefer to spend my money on a new rack (open or closed) then a couple of SSD's. Then I'll can buy the SSD's 3 -6 months later...

Yeah, true. Only it's still not enough. If I have a couple of season of a tv show and a UHD rip the SSD is full. Thanks. I'll check them!

Interesting! Can you post the S.M.A.R.T values of the SSD?

@kizer Thanks for the suggestion! A very safe one. Very useful.

Thanks for the link @Maticks. I'm pleased it's working for you! What I did was just coping the appdata plex config to a new directory.

I'm using the official Plex Inc Docker container. Not tried the binhex container. I now have the transcode directory on the cache drive. I'm not sure what messed up my linuxserver.io container. It's interesting to do a new install of the linuxserver.io container to check if the problem still exists. Maybe writing to /tmp messed everything up. On the other hand I copied my docker plex linuxserver.io config to the new docker plex inc container. So it's running with the same settings. Of course I did change the directory of transcode location in the setting of plex server.

To be honest I never heard the Plex Team Member saying that Plex Inc doesn't support containers. The problem is not Plex Media Server. The problem in my situation is the Linuxserver.io container for some reason that container is not working correctly on my server resulting in not be able playing AMZN WEB-DL. I then tried the official Plex Inc container, and now everything is working fine. I had set my transcode directory to the memory as Jonp suggested.

I then set the directory to my cache drive, but that didn't solve the problem. I played a bit with owners and permissions, but that didn't help either. So I ended up in trying a different Docker container. As you already know that solved the problem for me.

Someone of the Plex Team is now looking into this EAC3 matter, but he warned cause Plex is running in a Container and on unRAID his expertise will be extremely limited.

I'm a bit experimenting. When I start a tv-show the Plex Server want to transcode the stream to another codec. See picture: But for some reason the stream is not starting..

If a device supports EAC3 then it's playing the track of course. So Playing these files on the Apple TV 4 with the Plex client there are no problems. It would be indeed nice if Plex Server transcode the EAC3 stream if a device not support EAC3.

Thanks John for your help. Appreciated!

I can do something like this "find /mnt/* -name @eaDir"

How to easily delete all these annoying "@eaDir" files on my unRAID drives. These files where created on my Synology NAS. Anyone?

Ah, it's EAC3 issue. Indeed all the files that don't play have a EAC3 audio track. Thanks! Is it not possible to add AC3 track? So the original track is preserved. I'm not sure if this is possible with Handbrake. Do you know?

I'm not sure if this is Plex Server Docker related, but all of my amzn web-dl / web rips are not playing when viewed via the Plex Server webui or iOS. Someone having similar problems?

Before my posting I considered a 1TB model, because like you said a SSD is very quickly to small. So you don't advice a EVO. I already thought that EVO's are not suitable for server purposes so good that you can confirm. Thanks for the confirmations!

Hi, I have a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB as cache drive, but it's way to small. I like to know whats SSD you use/recommend also the size. Do you use just one SSD or a RAID 0/1 solution? Other things to think of? It happend again my SSD was totally full and a few Dockers crashed...

+100 indeed unRAID OS needs a file manager. Did you ever tried a Synology or Qnap NAS? Both have a excellent file manager.

I suppose this is also applies for the LSI 9201-8i?

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply!

Does the LSI SAS9201-16i support 8, 10 and 12 Tb drives?

Hi Jonathan, That was a great suggestion. It solved the problem! Never tough about doing this with the offending series. I did go to the series editor, and selected the root tv folder for all series, but that didn't helped. I still have a problem with permission I'll see the error in the screenshot. I'm not sure if it is possible to set permission, and if it is necessary cause if I'm correct it's already 0777. I also see this behaviour with headphones.

Hi, I have a bit of a weird situation. Sonarr is complaining about a missing root folder, but if I check by entering the sonarr container there is no problem. If I go into the "tv" folder I see all of my tv shows. This tv show folder is mounted with unassigned devices. The only differences I see is that the owner is "root:root" and not "abc:users" which is the case with the "downloads" folder. Any idea?
