ooooooo...if I didn't actually have to work to get Comskip I would be thrilled!

This latest update feels a little wonky. I've hardly had any issues with the previous updates, but this one would not do Direct Play with any of my content via my Roku clients. Oddly, forcing transcoding on each video, they played fine. Rebooted the server and power cycled all the Roku clients and it seems to be working again, but I haven't had time to do too much testing. Also, I don't know if this is connected, but my YouTube Channel appears to not keep the preferred quality option. For instance, on my mobile device I would want everything to play at .7 Mbps/ 320p. For anything outside of the channel it appears to stick with the setting just fine, but inside the YouTube channel I have to manually make the setting for every video.

I don't know if anyone has figured this out yet, but now that we can record Live TV via PLEX it seems to me the next great function would be having an effective way of stripping out commercials. I think I've seen a few people reference COMSKIP before, but I'm not sure anyone has ever gotten it working with PLEX yet or if there is a better alternative out there. If someone already has this figured out, please let me know. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks guys. It appears to have worked just as you said it would. I haven't stress tested anything yet, but so far so good and now I'm watching Live TV on my iPhone. To me, unRAID with Dockers is just so amazing. Thanks again.

I changed my mind and purchased an HDHomeRun Extend. Installation with Plex seemed to go smoothly, but I couldn't figure out why I couldn't do any Live Streaming from my iOS device. There wasn't a program guide for it or anything. Then I noticed the version of Plex i had was something like 1.5 and I believe Plex needs to be 1.75 or above to accomplish Live Streaming. I suspect this is all happening because the initial docker I installed is not the one listed in this thread. It probably is not being updated as often as the linuxserver.io version of Plex. I've been using this other docker for Plex for ages, but it would be nice to have more recent updates for it. So I'm thinking about switching over to this one. My question is, I guess there really isn't a smoother way of doing this...right? My guess is I need to remove the Plex Docker I have now via the unRaid Dashboard, delete all the folders that might be left over on my cache drive for the Plex Server, and then install the linuxserver.io version from Community Apps basically from scratch. Does this make the most sense?

Thanks for this. It helps clear up a lot for me. My thought is to try the Connect first to see how it goes. There is something about the fact that the Extend will transcode once to save the recorded file and then possibly have Plex transcode it again to send it to the client that concerns me a little. There could be a hit to video quality even if its minuscule. Additionally, it appears the Extend has a fan to help cool the more robust hardware for transcoding. Finally, there is the price difference as well. None of these are huge deal killers, but if the Connect just works for me then it might be the better choice. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for this. One thing throws me a bit though. I don't really understand how the transcoding works here. I would have expected any device to save the recordings to the unRAID server and once playback was needed Plex would transcode and send it to whatever device was calling for the video. Are you saying that with the HDHR Extend it somehow pushes the file across the network from unRAID to the HDHR Extend and then the HDHR Extend transcodes it and then the resulting video is sent to the client?

Ahhh...thanks for clarifying. Well, that is sort of a bummer. All my clients are pretty much Roku devices so I guess Live TV isn't possible for me right now. Do you have to wait for a recording to end to watch it or does it allow you to start it and then playback the early part of the recording while it continues to record the rest?

What? From what I see on Plex's site all HDHR models are supported? What model do you have?

I hope this is the right place to post this question. I'm a long time Plex and unRAID user, but I haven't really felt the need to upgrade much until now. I would like to take advantage of the fact that Plex can now stream and record live tv, but I would also like to try and make this upgrade as smooth as possible. A few of my questions are: Is there a consensus on which tuner is best, regardless of price? I suspect it is an HDHomeRun product, but I'm not sure which one. Some time ago I want to say someone told me one model does transcoding and another does not, but does that really matter with Plex? I would think the transcoding is done on the server itself. By the way, I will only be leveraging OTA channels. Is there anything that might help me to know how to do the full installation? The knowledge I have right now leads me to believe that I need to 1) restart Plex on my server to ensure I have the lastest version, 2) install HDHomeRun, which may be no more difficult than connecting the antennae and then connecting the device to the network. However, I'm a little in the dark of how you make the HDHomeRun and Plex talk together. I assume there is a setting in Plex somewhere to point to it.

Thank you. Thank you. I think I have it now.

I did that, but when I go to my INSTALLED APPS it does not reflect any way to install them since unraid thinks they are already installed. Is there something else I should be doing?

I apologize for the additional questions here, but it has been some time since I've had to do much with the server. That is sort of the beauty of it. I just leave it and perform routine updates every once in awhile and it just works. So I feel compelled to ask just so I don't do something stupid. So I access my cache disk and literally delete my 30 gig docker.img file. Do I then need to reboot the server for some reason? Will the 30 gig docker.img file be automatically rebuilt? How do I refill the dockers? Do I just go to APPS in unraid and will they still be listed under INSTALLED APPS? Thanks for any guidance.

I just updated to 6.2 and got this same error. Won't deleting the dockerimg delete all my dockers and I'll have to reenter everything from scratch?

Thanks. I installed PERL and went through the sensors-detect prompts. I hope I was supposed to choose on the last one to have the lm_sensors file created. I did. The "Detect" in Dynamix still doesn't do anything though. The sensors it appeared to find wasn't much. Here are the results: Tower login: root Linux 4.0.4-unRAID.

The only temperature I need to see is CPU Temp, however, I'm struggling to understand whether or not this is even possible with my CPU (AMD A8-7650K) and motherboard (MSI A78M-E35). I've installed the Dynamix plugin (unRAID v6.0), however, when I click on "Detect" nothing happens. I tried to follow the wiki, but when I enter "sensors" or "sensors-detect" I receive the following. I don't even see anything that appears to be CPU Temp. Am I just out of luck?
