Don't worry though. Unraid is always looking to up the charges on their licensing programs cause you know they're working tirelessly on creating updates for GPUs that are going on 2 years old now.

@Dustin Turner Hey, I just got my ARC A380 and went from a Quadro P2000 with the intent of switching from hvec to av1. I followed the same guide you did and noticed there was some errors with the flow. Here's the adjusted flow in the txt file and a shot of my TDarr Docker settings. Sorry no one got back to you. Unraid community isn't the most responsive for being as popular as it is. Arc-av1.txt

Found that I can change it to nvenc in the settings of the plug-in and decide whether it is H264, H265, or AVi in those settings as well.

Been using Unmanic for a while, now all of a sudden it took a crap on me and started having issues. I'm using an Nvidia GPU to transcode and when re-installing the docker I noticed a lot of the video conversion plugins are missing. All I have now is this plugin for videos from the JOSH.5 Repo. Is this now just a 1 size fits all transcoding plugin? No options for H.264, H.265, AV1 or if it supports Nvidia, AMD, or Intel.

How do I add the templates to the flash drive?

I've read other posts about users just deleting their dockers and reinstalling them when this error occurs. I'd rather not have to go through and set up all my Docker containers all over again. I had to restore my USB drive after some issues I had with the latest Unraid update, and after firing up everything, I noticed I got this error whenever I try to update containers.

So now that Plex is changing its policy on allowing users access to someone else's library without a paid subscription, I'm switching over to Jellyfin, but I'm having issues with getting it to use my Quadro card for transcoding. It continues to work the hell out of my CPU and will not use the GPU. I have --runtime=nvidia In the Extra Parameters and also added the two Variables "Nvidia GPU UUID" & "Nvidia GPU Patch Version", and have my GPU-ID in the GPU UUID variable section. If I try setting the transcode option to Nvidia in the Jellyfin settings in the WebUI, then I get an error and nothing plays. What am I doing wrong?

How do I fix "AssertionError: extension access disabled because of command line flags" when installing extensions? I've googled it and all I've found is remove flags, install extensions, and reapply flags... but how the hell do I do that?

@Arie Yeah, I figured that out, but whenever I needed a GPU driver update or a Windows security update I didn't want to have to reboot my entire server every time. Super sad! I took everything I intended to put into my Unraid server as far as hardware was concerned and updated my main gaming rig instead. Then, I went to Intel & Nvidia and no issues. When I was running my AMD 7900X3D CPU, I got a second Nvidia Quadro P2000 for transcoding and that didn't go over very well. Unraid kept pulling the 4070 Super in for transcoding and trying to run both in Docker even though it was passed through. That's what drove the Intel switch too. But honestly, I had better performance with the AMD cpu than the 14700K I have now. BUT AMD doesn't have Quick Sync... 👎But I've learned how to isolate hardware a lot better now so maybe if I tried a P2000 again it would work 🤷‍♂️

@Arie sadly, I had to buy an Nvidia GPU. Once I did that everything was fixed. AMD GPUs do not play well with unRAID. I went to a 4070 Super and now all my unRAID issues have been fixed. I even tried Proxmox with the same setup and my VMs crashed the entire system every time.

@BKG ah gotcha, so you are setup for dual cache raid 1 w/ 2 SSDs

@BKGyou're set for Raid 1 so if you're only using 1 NVME for your cache pool and you want to pass through the second as a VM you'll wanna turn that off.

@BKG I had the same issue when I had my cache pool set to raid 1. I removed 1 NVME prior and passed it through and never changed my cache settings. If your cache is set to Raid 1/0/jbod or any version of raid it'll assign any "loose" drive with the new 7.0.0 update for some reason. I had to make sure my cache pool was only assigned to 1 drive.

@BKG@BKG can you go to the "main" tab and then click on "cache" under "pool devices" and take a screenshot of your cache setup and post it? Something may have changed during the 7.0.0 update in your cache settings causing you to have problems. I'm assuming you also have the unassigned devices plugin as well?

@BKG Hey, I'm just seeing this. I wouldn't recommend using the "sdf" as the location. When you reboot your server that drive identification can change. open up the terminal in the top right-hand corner of the Unraid GUI enter mc into the terminal and hit enter. From there go to /dev/disk/by-id/ & find your drive id and use that. You'll need to double click "/ . . " at the top to get to where you can find /dev. So for me my path is : "/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-CT4000P3PSSD8_2336E873F8BA" You have to put in nvme or ata or ssd or whatever is shown as your disk id. and I'm sure you figured out the path you meant to put in was "/dev/sdf/vdisk2.img" but like I said before it will change from sdf to like sdh. SpaceInvador talks about this in the video link I posted earlier in this thread. You can also convert your vdisk into a legit NTSF format so you can pull your passthrough drive one day if you want and just run a bare metal rig down the road. I attached my passthrough setup.

try switching from pc-i440fx to the latest Q35 under "machine" in the GUI. You should also set your bios to OVMF TPM, you only have yours set to OVMF.

Hey @JTLFTech I don't have much to add as far as a solution. I was trying to pass through my 7800XT GPU for months with constant issue after issue. I could not get it to work without issues for the life of me. I could get the VM running but I couldn't restart it or shut it down without Unraid freaking out. Once I switched to Nvidia, all my issues went away. i did nothing different at all. I hate to be that guy but Unraid and VMs do not play nicely with AMD GPUs.

@JorgeB I got it figured out. My NIC was set at 100mb/s in the properties. I have no idea why Windows would pre-set it like that. All good now though.

I passed through my SSD a different than most suggest. I followed SpaceInvader Guide but I had to use the midnight command to find the actual location and name of my drive. 1. open up terminal of the top right hand side of the Unraid GUI. 2. type MC Once you're in midnight command locate your NVME drive by going to /dev/disk/by-id/ 3. take that disk id and plug it into the primary vDisk location as I've attached in my photo.

Can you upload your XML script or your VM settings you plugged in during the setup?

So I've struggled with this numerous times where suddenly my VM starts running like crap. First, ensure all the energy-saving options are off or switched to performance in your bios. My Asus bios on my Asus Z790 and my Asus X670E were both set for an energy-saving mode which caused performance issues. Second, use Moonlight/Sunshine for gaming from a VM. You can't beat the low latency they offer. Third, (This is one I just discovered) go into your Windows settings and search "Core Isolation" and turn off "Memory Integrity" & "Local Security Authority protection". If I have those two enabled my VM runs like dog shit. Restart the VM and give it a go. I've been struggling with Unraid Win 11 VMs for almost 2 years now and finally have mine running smooth as butter. I have a passthrough NIC, passthrough NVME drive, I extracted my vDisk so my NVME is formatted in NTFS so if I ever want to move my NVME into a bare metal build I would just plop it in. I have a Bluetooth dongle passed through so I can Steam games to my Nvidia Shield Pro onto the TV with multiple controllers connected to the VM directly so we can play games as a family. Unraid 7.0.0 has made it as simple as can be to pass through USB-connected devices to the VM. @N3z has made a solid guide on how to get the best performance out of your Win 11 VM but it needs some updating though.... VM Passthrough Guide

I wouldn't use any of those configurations. Is there a reason why you're using IDE rather than Sata? i440fx rather than Q35? and Spice rather than VNC? I also wouldn't pin CPU 0. In my experience regardless of how you pin or isolate CPU 0, Unraid will always use it.

I figured it out. I left it unassigned and installed the vdisk.img on my cache drive then converted the vdisk to a physical disk onto my unassigned NVME. From then I was able to partition the drive from within the VM. I left the vdisk @ 64 GB so it wouldn't take much time to convert to a physical disk. An issue I had was mounting the unassigned NVME to my VM when editing XML. I couldn't use (dev/disk/by-id/ata-CT4000P3PSSD8_2336E873F8BA). This kept giving me an error. Instead, I had to mount using (dev/nvme0n1). The bad part is that when I reboot Unraid it changes with nvme1n1. Every reboot they trade 👎. My VM is running faster than it's ever run. Running on a passthrough NIC and raw nvme! life is good!!! I had to be sure I reset my Unraid USB as the only bootable disc or my server would boot up into the physical Windows disk I created in nvme0n1. Amazing SpaceInvader video Ok, quick update! I found out how to locate the name of my nvme. It is "nvme-" not "ata-" /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-CT4000P3PSSD8_2336E873F8BA I went into the terminal and went into midnight command mc Went into the location "dev/disk/by-id/" and found my disk.

I have been looking up guides and came across this one created by @N3z a few years ago I guess (Creating a Windows 11 Gaming VM) and I saw a video that SpaceInvader made regarding his VM where he passed through his SSD. I cannot get my unassigned SSD available to passthrough in the Tools/System Devices section. I can passthrough my GPU & GPU audio and my added NIC. But I can't get this damn SSD. Secondly, I saw a video where SpaceInvader had his SSD partitioned so he wouldn't lose all his games and whatnot if he ever had to reinstall his VM. Smart idea but he never shows you how to partition a drive in Unraid as he had it. Spaceinvader One Video Please help passthrough my SSD and partition my SSD 🙏

@JorgeB I thought the same thing. Virtio gave me the exact same speed issues as virtio-net.
