Thanks, but I did do a shut down with out change. I also forgot to mention, I have 2 unRaids, tower and tower2. Both are on 4.7 with unmenu. This problem is with both. Only have a couple of packages installed. mysql on one email notification on both, still getting daily emails of status. another package I believe that goes with the notification. Don't remember any others, can check tonight.

Just started having issues with accessing unmenu with "tower". Can't use "tower:8080" either. Have to use ip "192.168.xxx.xxx:8080" to get main page. Can't navigate from there without changing tower to ip upon failure. When it fails to access, give a message "the server refused connection" I'm still using 4.7 with unmenu 1.6. Accessing with windows 7 computer. Can't see anything in my syslog to indicate issue, doesn't log anything when connection is refused. Besides possible syslog any ideas? Any help would be great.

Thanks I am working on contacting our software provider to answer this. Thanks for that link, that will help too!

Not related to my unRAID systems, but thought I would ask. My business computer system had a motherboard failure. I am told that I must find the exact same one to get the unix system back running. So, I am looking for a Tekram brand motherboard. Model # P6F 40K-A5 If anyone could help direct me to where I might locate one, I would really appreciate it.

Me too. Finally just uninstalled it for now.

Using openelec pre eden build r9963 on 3 different zbox hd-id11. Running mysql and shared thumbs. No real issues and works great. Windows Eden on my backend computer. Not as happy with it, but I don't watch anything on it, just for working on adding movies and such.

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, works perfect for me to make minor changes to my movies.

Thanks, I will give that one a try.

I would like to make some manual changes to the data with out having to refresh the movies in XBMC. Is there a program that I can install either on my Windows Vista or on the unRAID itself and be able to access the Mysql database that I setup for XBMC? I used the unMENU package to install mysql on the unRAID ver. 4.7. I have try Mysql workbench, but could not gain access to the tables. It would recognized the database, but nothing else. Prior to using mysql, I would use the XWMM web interface to access the XBMC original database, but I don't think that they have made it work with mysql.

Seems to be issues with skp-name-resolve in the my.cnf if installed as I did with the unmenu package. Referring to your thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18417.msg167366#msg167366. Will try doing the same on mine and see how it goes.

I finally did mine over the weekend. Originally I was going to install a 30gig ssd as cache last week. That ended up being a total nightmare! UnRAID was recognizing it as a 32gig instead of 30gig that it is. I didn't realize it until the next day when I was going to do the mysql. I was having drive errors in my syslog every 3 seconds and it also showed HPA. Since the forum was down at that time, I had no clue what to do about it. So, I decided to scrape the ssd cache idea, and just use one of my regular drives and not cache. Oh well enough whining. Everything went fine over the weekend. Using unRAID 4.7, Openelec ion 64 build r9963 on 2 of my zboxes, and windows eden rc 2. I didn't follow all the directions at the beginning of this thread completely, from what I have read, they are a little dated. Fine for Dharma, but not for the Eden builds. I totally skip for now the swap file. Not sure if I will need it or not. In all the messing around that I have done so far, I would say that I won't. I did this CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc'; GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc'; Didn't do this CREATE database xbmc_video; CREATE database xbmc_music; Used this for my advancedsettings.xml, first with Windows computer. <videodatabase> <type>mysql</type> <host>***.***.***.***</host> <port>3306</port> <user>xbmc</user> <pass>xbmc</pass> </videodatabase> <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml</from> <to>smb://***.***.***.***/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml/</to> </substitute> <substitute> <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails</from> <to>smb://***.***.***.***/xbmc/userdata/thumbnails/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> I then copied my Thumbnails folder and my sources.xml to the unRAID and then did my import on my windows xbmc from the export file that I had created. Everything good, mysql database populated just fine. Don't do it this way. Let the database make them. It ended up giving me some errors on my Window XBMC and was the cause of it being so much slower than my Openelec. Did cure all my issues but some. Tested with my Windows computer, XBMC rc 2. Here is were I just about said forget it again. Slow. Extremely slow. About 30 seconds to enter my movies library. This is about the same as the last time I tried doing this. The slowness is still the Thumbnails, pathsubstitution didn't seem to be helping me. I removed the pathsubstitution for the Thumbnails, used local, and no more lag. I did try added the index's, but it had no effect that I could notice. I have since read that it is also outdated for Eden builds. use MyVideos60; ALTER TABLE movie ADD INDEX ix_idFile(idFile); ALTER TABLE movie ADD INDEX idMovie(idMovie); ALTER TABLE movie ADD INDEX idFile(idFile); I decided to proceed with the openelec's and see how the speed was with them. Using the same pathsubstitution, I found them to be faster for movie library access. Only about 18 seconds. That was a big improvement, but still too slow. Then, I got to thinking. Why am I trying to share everything that is in the Thumbnails folder when the only thing I want to share is actually in the Thumbnails/video folder. I decided to try the pathsubstitution directly on the actual video folder itself. I changed the pathsubstitution to this <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml/</from> <to>smb://***.***.***.***/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml/</to> </substitute> <substitute> <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/</from> <to>smb://***.***.***.***/xbmc/userdata/thumbnails/video/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> Now this really improved the access speed. Now it only takes 7 seconds to enter the movie library with my openelec's. It still not as fast as having the thumbnails local, but it is now at a speed I can live with. I can't say the same for the windows computer, it still takes about 20 seconds to load up. But since it is only for my backend work, it's not that big a deal. That's it, I'm very happy with the end results. It's definitely going to lessen my work load being able to have instant updated movie and TVshow libraries. Another good thing, though all my speed testing was done bringing up the complete movie library, we seldom do this. Normally we use the genre or the recently added, and those load up almost instantly! Might try this with a cache drive some time again, might help the write speed when stopping a movie. That is the only thing that is slower than I expected, but not too slow, it might not be worth the extra efforts.

Is there any real advantage of accessing with putty and doing MC to Move, Copy, or Delete files instead of using something like teracopy in Vista to do copy, paste and such? I get similar speeds from either one. Using Teracopy at least shows me what percent I have to go. MC doesn't. What other way could I be doing this that might be better?

Try redoing it and instead of none for the guest access type in 'none' That is what I did to have guest access on my 4.7 basic 3 disk system that has no users. It is my router address. Glad that it should not be an issue. But just wonder, if anyone else is have this happen in their syslog. Mine occur every 37 seconds. I am using it on a 4.7 unRAID basic 3 disk system.

I finally installed this on my newest unRAID server tonight. Everything went smooth, except that when I was setting it up, I type none instead of 'none' for the users so I was not able to access it through guest. I reinstalled it doing the correct 'none' with the marks and then guest work no problem. My first backup has already finished so all is good. Except I am getting syslog entries every minute or so now. Here is an example Jan 4 20:21:14 Tower2 afpd[4638]: afp_disconnect: primary reconnect succeeded Jan 4 20:21:25 Tower2 avahi-daemon[2952]: Received response from host 192.168.1.1 with invalid source port 32768 on interface 'eth0.0' (Network) Jan 4 20:22:06 Tower2 last message repeated 2 times Jan 4 20:23:23 Tower2 last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 20:24:53 Tower2 last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 20:26:23 Tower2 last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 20:27:53 Tower2 last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 20:28:06 Tower2 afpd[4635]: afp_zzz: entering extended sleep Jan 4 20:28:07 Tower2 avahi-daemon[2952]: Received response from host 192.168.1.1 with invalid source port 32768 on interface 'eth0.0' (Network) Jan 4 20:28:44 Tower2 last message repeated 2 times Jan 4 20:29:51 Tower2 last message repeated 4 times Any ideas what I need to do?

I would consider disconnecting any hard drives in the test computer if possible. I made the mistake of not doing so, and my hard drive would no longer boot windows anymore. Not that it will happen but be careful if you leave drives hooked up.
