kk, I'll give that a shot. Thank you so much!

Hey folks, I know this has been mentioned in other variations, but I can't seem to find/pin down a solution to what I did. I was following a tutorial after adding some really crappy, slow drives to unraid to get more space, but, then finding out the hard way it slowed EVERYTHING down. So I followed a guide to help remove those drives as safely as possible. Problem is, that guide predated the docker safe permissions/fix common problems, so I ran the Fix Permissions in Tools but unchecked the drive where I had assumed/hoped/guessed my appdata was stored (as thats where I'd set it to be) by the looks of it, and I totally messed up the permissions on my docker containers/appdata folder. I've got some of them working, most of the functionality is there (though any issues I'm not really alerted to just yet, but I'm sure they'll crop up). How I found out there was an issue, is that anything in Plex that was trying to use the EasyAudioEncoder Codec would just constantly buffer or boot the viewer (myself included, so locally and remote). EAC3 5.1 is fine though... but another issue, is in the transcoding, where it would see my GPU in the drop down, now its just auto, but it IS using it. Using nvidia-smi I can see the plex process, and it does seem to be transcoding for people. But I'm worried that these things point to a much wider issue, I tried to exclude the drive where my appdata folder sits, but I don't think it mattered too it, in Fix Permissions, which drives I picked, because it definitely got too it. I spent much of this morning trying to fix SWAG/DockerSocket/Overseerr and did manage to get it going again, but, yeah... I could really use a get out of jail card here from people who have way more experience and knowledge than I do. EDIT: If I need to delete the appdata and docker containers folder and start over, that is mostly okay, it'll just take some time. If thats the better more thorough alternative, please let me know, and if there is any guidance on how to properly do that (make sure its nuked, cleaned, so that when I redo it theres no issues that crop up) then please let me know.

Wow, sorry to necro this thread but... I was using a tutorial from youtube that I guess pre-dated the Docker Safe version, and just royally messed my appdata permissions up... no clue what to do. Made a support thread, fingers crossed.

Hey folks, I may not be the only person suffering this issue, but, I haven't been able to find anyone having it the way that I am. Someone is trying to playback Barbie, on both their Xbox One, and their Macbook connected to their TV. Dolby Atmos / TrueHD 7.1 won't transcode, it just causes the video to stop and constantly buffer. Switching to the EAC 5.1 is fine though, it'll transcode that. I keep getting these errors in the attached screenshot of the log. I was also having problems with the Windows Player when I tried to install it last month where this specific thing 'EasyAudioEncoder' got called out by Windows Defender (its fixed now, but figured it was a strange coincidence worth mentioning) Addendum: Looks like it might be a permissions thing? I effed this ALL up... trying to remove some drives I had added... was following a tutorial, and it looks like I didn't run the docker safe permissions tool.... the one I was supposed to run... wow. I'm pretty sure ALL of my Docker containers are effed. And I really do not know enough about how to un-eff them... like plex isn't allowing me to select my GPU, either, in the transcoding section. It just shows auto, whereas it was there before.... this is brutal.... I'm in quite the pickle... I don't even know where I could go to ask for some help, or even what to search to find out how to un-eff this. Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Hey folks, sorry to bug ya. I did DM Avesynth, who was trying too, and succeeded in, setting this up with a reverse proxy to access it over the internet when away from home. Is there any written guidance, videos, etc, for this? Also, if its better to use the discord, where might I find that?

Following this, as I'm having a very similar issue. My new server I just built is on the opposite side of yours, much MUCH more (thats not to brag, its to point out that something is really up, and I'm not sure what either). I ran openspeedtest and the 2.5gbps switch is almost fully saturated between my PC and the Unraid box. Plex buffers, but watching the same video through MPC-BE from the SMB share, it is disgusting the level of stutter/buffer. So I'm eager to see what insights others might have, and glad to know I'm not alone in it. Just tried to transfer a file from the SMB to my desktop, 9.9mb/s lmao... what in the heck... @Brian Yuenare you by chance doing any I/O intensive operations on the UNRAID in the background. I figured my hardware would be up to snuff to handle all that I was doing... and apparently not. Its some downloading docker apps that are basically crushing the hard drive's ability to do much of anything.
