Hello. When running Emby in a docker container it sometimes shoots up in memory usage, i've seen it take over 10GB+ memory at some point. Looking into it, with the help of the Emby developers, Emby it self only seems to use around 1.5GB in total while Unraid reports much more. Looking up difference monitoring programs i get different kinds of results. Some report what Emby does, others what Unraid does. My question: Does Unraid include cache, disk cache and so on in the memory usage for docker containers? That would explain pretty much everything if it does.

Seeing as it's only when you transfer files.. Can it be the cables? I've seen stranger things happen because of bad cables.

Just updated to lastest version. Container now stalls on "[info] NAME_SERVERS defined as....." Disabling VPN makes it so it can start again.

In Unraid Beta 7 you can set the CPU governor to performance, that gains me about 200MB/s. You can also do it with the "tips and tweaks" plugin.

Turbo write would also speed thing up somewhat though it's no magic bullet.

Just saw the update and tried it. Emby shows up now, many thanks! Keep up the great work.

That sadly didn't do anything.

Forgot to add. Things like Fileflows, Tdarr and other things show, just Emby that doesn't. I don't get any activity with 3D render either but i guess that's a problem with GPU top.

Here ya go.

Nothing i do can get it to show any activity, even encoding in Fileflows or Tdarr. I don't mind it much though as long as it works as it should then an indicator doesn't matter that much.

Using Emby with 2024.10.22a does not show Emby in active apps. Also reading through this thread, is 3D render supposed to be used when transcoding? Always at 0% for me with an Intel Arc card.

A good quality NVME can write petabytes before near any where you have to worry about it dying. Look up your SSD/NVME on google like fx. "Samsung 990 Pro endurance" and it should be easy to find how much it can handle before getting in range of it max endurance. On main page of the Unraid server webpage you can click on the SSD/NVME device and under "attributes" you should be able to see it there to plus remaining endurance if the NVME vendor gives that info.

What precisely do you mean by this?

ARC cards are only supported in Unraid Beta 7 or with a custom kernel.

Just out of curiosity i've been doing some testing my self. Running 3 NVME's in a raidz1 configuration. My server seems to be unable to get any higher than 1.3GB/s in combined transfer speeds, what i mean with that is if i move a file read and write speed combined will never exceed 1.3GB/s, looking at CPU usage no thread is even close to maxed out. Ran a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/cache/temp/test.img bs=16G count=20 oflag=dsync" a couple of times and got results ranging from 1.2 - 1.8GB/s. Looking at the speed of the disks while test ran they individually hit 1.2GB/s until settling at the before mentioned speeds (probably because of the SSDs internal cache getting full) Copying a file from my PC to the server to a fuse layer folder 600MB/s, moving to an exclusive share i max out my 10Gpbs nic. Copying a file internally on the server from fuse layer to fuse layer i get 300MB/s, from exclusive to exclusive i get 600MB/s. Rounded the numbers a little. My server is on a Ryzen 3900x. Before it became my server i used it as my work/gaming computer and the speeds were way higher than that so should not be a saturated PCIe problem. Makes me think that Unraid has some serious overhead somewhere even on exclusive shares. @bryce2113 Run the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/cache/temp/test.img bs=16G count=20 oflag=dsync status=progress" (change the destination in the command to fit your server) and see what the internal results are. Might point to if it's internal or network problem. Btw. as you can see i'm far from an expert but the result of this should at least be interesting. Edit: Changed some numbers i f.ed up.
