  1. Hi, I have tvheadend installed on Unraid 6.3.5 - M/B: Supermicro - X10SLL-F CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1265L v3 @ 2.50GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 256 kB, 1024 kB, 8192 kB Memory: 16 GB (max. installable capacity 32 GB) Network: eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 Kernel: Linux 4.9.30-unRAID x86_64 Tvheadend is attached to two hdhomerun network devices (first generation which produce mpeg-2 output) connected to an antenna for OTA content. I'm not using this much - but tried a few things and some work some don't (at least for me). I'd like to know find out if this is something having to do with my setup (perhaps some error), or more general, due to, perhaps, running as a docker app etc. So: I can only watch/stream to my browser through webtv-vorbis codec. The other codecs do not produce any output. Sometimes I only get audio, and no video. For HD content would be great to be able to recode on the fly the mpeg stream - which otherwise doesn't run too well over wifi. I have I can only record program through default profile(pass mpeg) - which generates huge files. I can convert them afterwards, but if conversion on the fly/during recording, is possible, I would try to use it. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you hg
  2. Hello; Thanks for making this docker available. I decided to experiment with it; simplicity is definitely a huge advantage over all the other media servers out there... Can you check if you have the same error message in your log and if not, suggest why is happening to me, and a possible solution: [2017/03/12 16:18:28] utils.c:279: warn: make_dir: cannot create directory '/var/run/minidlna' [2017/03/12 16:18:28] minidlna.c:400: error: Unable to create pidfile directory: /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid Further to that - I've got quite a few warnings about some issues found with my music. (corrupted oggs, names too long, not valid header, etc. How do you suggest to clean these up? do you recommend a tool whichcan check for corruptions, and other issues (like the one mentioned above)? Thanks hg
  3. Hi, Background: I upgraded yesterday to the new 6.3.2 version (and upgraded to a new motherboard - x10SLL-F-O - in the same time) apparently w/o issues (Thank you!). However, after a short time I started receiving plugin errors (missing files, and an endless loop from a tenacious plugin wanting to send statistics from my system). Reading also in your note: Limetech quote: Plugin Authors: as posted earlier, your plugin may not function properly depending how how POST requests are handled, see: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=55986.0 Plugin Users: please post issues you find in the appropriate Plugin Support topic. And to reiterate: true plugins (not Docker containers) run as the root user and have full access to everything on your server: Install 3rd party plugins at your own risk. End Limetech quote. I have decided to remove all the plugins from my server - as I don't have time to hunt for compatibility issues and resolve strange behaviors. I'm running now the barebone system, and want to use docker or VMs for additional functionality. Now here is my question: regarding plugins - I'm assuming there are no limetech endorsed and versions controlled plugins? Is that right? Among those I had installed were a few which made sense to have close by (all were strictly tools, one to create and verify checksums, another adding an expanded tool set, etc) - perhaps you can create limetech optional add-on packages which make sense to run as root, and are safe to run (version controlled). Please comment. Thanks again.
  4. Hello, Thank you for sharing this application with the unraid community. I recently added your plugin to my unraid server. I'm reporting a couple of issues, and I have a couple of questions. 1) false positives Ignored Errors & Warnings Suggested Fix Docker Application tvheadend is currently set up to run in host mode The template for this application specifies that the application should run in bridge mode. For your reference this link: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/tvheadend/ "Host vs. Bridge If you use IPTV, SAT>IP or HDHomeRun, you need to create the container with --net=host and remove the -p flags. This is because of a limitation in docker and multicast." --------------------- Docker Application tvheadend, Container Port 9981 not found or changed on installed application When changing ports on a docker container, you should only ever modify the HOST port, as the application in question will expect the container port to remain the same as what the template author dictated. Fix this here: Application Support Thread Docker Application tvheadend, Container Port 9982 not found or changed on installed application When changing ports on a docker container, you should only ever modify the HOST port, as the application in question will expect the container port to remain the same as what the template author dictated. Fix this here: Application ------------------- Both lines are unjustified. I reinstalled tvheadend several times, and from a couple of sources, on this site. But the ports are the same. And I have tvheadend installed, but stopped. It has not been running for weeks. My questions : 1) is the program checking for a change of state in the previously identified state, and should that have happened, are the warnings/errors removed? If that is not the program behavior, is there any possibility to add a remove/hide option, so that messages which are not necessary should not be displayed. 2) I realize that is a matter of personal choice (I read your answer in the beginning of the thread) - but there is a semantic difference between an error and a warning. Seeing error messages I have two conscious choices to make, to go and check them each time, since an error must be treated with urgency, or, knowing that an error might not be exactly an error, I can choose to ignore it. (Remember Unraid is sending email notifications for various reasons, errors being one of them, and FCP is not the solely application generating notifications. There are other subsystems on unraid which can generate real errors). Desensitizing me to errors is the undesired effect of sending error messages when there are none. The same notion with "Crying wolf" if you want... That's it. Thanks for reviewing my reply. hg
  5. Aha! got it now! Thanks so much! I didn't realized that the nerd pack was downloaded but not installed. I just turned on all the tools in the pack and inotify among them. Went back to checksum added one more directory in the configuration, and this time it didn't complain about inotifywait anymore. It just asked me to restart the monitor, and I did, and it appears that now it started: Monitor Status: Running Checksum Calculations Idle Verifier Status: Idle Now one last question: do I need to start a manual checksum first, or will it do it alone? - not finding any checksum (this is the first time it is running). Much appreciated.
  6. That was fast! Thank you for your reply. Essentially that's what I did. But nothing happened with inotifywait config file. Again - steps I've taken: - already had the NerdPak installed, long time ago. It also was up-to-date. - today I just installed checksum suite. It complained about inotifywait not running right after installation. - I thought NerdPak doesn't have inotify tools, and added the plugin again, but nothing happened, since it was already installed. I could perhaps have uninstalled it, and reinstalled. - then I went to checsum (Create/Monitor settings) and started adding directories in the setup, such as /dir1 .../mnt/user/pictures; /dir2 .... /mnt/user/Education etc. - At the top of the page however I continue to have "Monitor Status: inotifywait NOT installed" - In docker dashboard, Inotify-command is not running. If I start it manually, it complains that the conf file I created is missing the command directive (which is true, because I commented it out when I edited manually the conf file). Inotify otherwise did not pick -up any config from checksum. Thanks again for your help. hg
  7. Hello; I know this tool is not developed anymore /and all discussions dried out about 3-4 months ago - but those still using it, perhaps can assist with a setup question. I just installed checksum suite, and it complained of inotifywait not installed. After going back and forth several times (because I already had Nerdpack installed), i discovered that Inotify needed to be set to monitor directories. I configured it, but then none of those directories I've set in the confguration menu, made it into the config file. That stayed sample.conf, and if I deleted it, it got recreated again upon starting inotify docker. I then edited renamed sample.conf to inotify.conf, and entered all the directories. Since the default command directive - present in the sample - didn't make sense, I commented it out. I restarted inotify, but it died right away, since it was missing the command directive. I figured the command has to point to checksum suite somehow, but it is not obvious. Anyone caring to point me in the right direction? Thank you!
  8. Thanks so much, Sparkly, for the quick reply and ... sorry for the trouble... The update didn't pick the new version up unfortunately, so I decided to delete container and image and re-download from the repository. Strange enough, even if your update is there in the template (I can see it), the version downloaded is still 5.0.1: From the log: ... INFO 16:28:42.306 [main] Starting Universal Media Server 5.0.1 As for the web plug-gin- I found it somewhere. I have to search it again (I'm not sure it is in fact web management interface), and try it. Thanks again. hg
  9. Hello Sparklyballs; You pointed me a while back to your version of dockerized UMS... and I'd like to try your ums template - can you please update it to point to the latest version (currently 5.1.4 http://sourceforge.net/projects/unimediaserver/files/Official%20Releases/Linux/) of the sw? https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sparklyballs/universal-media-server/dockerfile/ As a matter of practicality, if you don't mind me suggesting this for easy maintenance ... you may want to declare a version variable at the top of your template, and use that, instead of hard coding the version further down in the code section. I'd really want to try adding to it ALSO the web plug-in, as I'm not sure how to manage it otherwise. Thank you ! hg
  10. Hello; I'm a long time user of unraid and new to the latest features, including docker. So first I want to thank you very much for creating the user guide, that's quite helpful. In my particular situation, I tried a few things so far, and I'm going back and forth on my experiments, installing and uninstalling docker containers. And doing that I noticed that the cleanup part is not really working too well, as I still find things left behind after I deliberately chose to delete images and containers. Would be helpful if the guide can be enhanced to cover the entire life-cycle of the docker environment: - installing and uninstalling docker - installing and uninstalling applications in docker - different upgrade scenarios of the environment etc Thank you hg
  11. Thank you, Trurl. That looks amazing. Unraid ecosystem has grown incredibly lately, and has a lot to offer. More for me to explore. Many thanks to everyone who contributed their work to Unraid user community.
  12. Hi; I'm testing serviio, and from an end user perspective i'd like to simplify access to it. Having to connect to http://tower:23424/mediabrowser/ is not too user friendly, but I don't want to change the whole unraid setup... I'm thinking that I could use new host name and a proxy forward on the lan. Is there a proxy available in unraid Docker library, or are there other suggestions to accomplish the same result? Thank you hg
