Thanks Kevek79 I will look into that. Thanks Does MakeMKV make copy and retain the same file size with different audio streams? So once done I could delete the ISO files

Thanks. Were you reading from and writing to server? I am reading from one share and writing to another. I tried with WinXDvd ripper, but it only does 1 movie at at time. I plan on keeping both DVD file and MKV. My array has 28TB and I have about 11TB in Movies. SO I have room

Thank you Frank. I need to look into those settings. Does Handbrake add to the name of the file it creates? Most of my DVD were SD with a few HD titles. How many movies can you que into HandBrake at a time?

Maybe I misunderstood when I was configuring MyServers, I thought that is what I needed to do. I can change it back. I know about enough about these things to keep me in trouble.. One thing I notices is that last night I had connection to mothership and I was able to watch a movie. This morning I tried to access a movie on Plex and I did not have access. Is there a setting to always be connected? Does the server connection sleep after no activity. Any ideas as to why the connection would go away? Thanks

Hello Everyone, I finally got my Plex Server working and I was freaking out because only about 30 movies were showing up. After looking into it a bit further, I found that the movies that were showing were in a folder that I had converted to MP4 files and then after a bit more research I found that Plex does not do ISO files. When I ripped all my DVD's I ripped them to ISO and I was using KODI to view them. Question: Is it worth the trouble to convert 1700+ movies to something that Plex can read? If it is worth while, what is the best way to convert the files? Is there a program that can be qued up to convert multiple files and just let it run? Or is it better to continue using KODI? Thanks in advance, Oscar

Ok I had to go to the my servers info and allow access and the ! Triangle is gone.

Ok now, we had a power outage so I had to restart the server. Does the communication with the mothership not happen while the server is checking parity? Tower is show a triangle with an ! After the server has been on. My Server on the forum has a green check mark even though the server is showing triangle. is this normal?

Ok I was able to log in from my iPad. Now I can post diagnostics. I now am connected to the mothership. Now I just need to research accessing server remotely. I think I have my ports forwarded correctly. I think I just need to setup an NO-IP or something thanks for your help ljm42 tower-diagnostics-20220628-2040.zip

These are some pics of the network settings. Hope they shed some light.

I also noticed that the address for webgui is localhost:3443 not the 192.168.1.12. I tried entering it in safari and sez server not found

In Network setting the the IPv4 address is the 192.168.1.12 then a /24/ I am on the FireFox WebGUI, but I am not able to attache the diagnostic file from server. When I hover over the Choose file, I am not able to navigate to find file on on the unraid server

I did notice that the local access is unlocked and is red. Is that normal? Also I noticed that I am not able to access locally. I am able only access unraid via webgui. I am not able to access via iPad or phone. I used to be able to access by entering 192.168.1.12. But now it will not load.. Could I have done something wrong when i setup the router?

Thanks ljm42 that seems to have fixed it much appreciated

By not connecting o MotherShip, I have a triangle with a ! and in the forum, Server shows Offline. Here are the comand lines root@Tower:~# unraid-api restart Found no running processes.

I just ran unraid-api report -v and git “failed generating report with “missing UPC API key” not sure if that will help BTW. I am able to use UnBalance to move files

Hello all, I just got my unraid server back up and running after a few years of collecting dust. I am trying to learn and do more with my unraid server so I am learning about dockers and plugins. I have had my unraid since 2010 and recently updated MB and replaced Some HD’s and a new controller. I have we drives in my system with 28TB available and 8TB om movies and 1TB in music and pics. I installed My Server and thought I configured it correctly, but I am not connecting to the Mothership. What info do you need from me? I attached my diagnostic file. thanks in advance oscar tower-diagnostics-20220626-1815.zip

Thank you Johnathon I will look for that thread.

Ok guys. I was able to get a new controller and I was able to get unraid up and running. I was able to get a replacement drive and run parity. Attached is the current diagnostic and it seems like all is good. one question, I want to run Plex. What do I need to do to run Plex.. I don’t see a docker listed on the menu. Pic attached. Let me know if I need to start a new thread for docker and Plex subject tower-diagnostics-20220624-1820.zip

That’s part of the problem. I guess I goof that one up. Let me revisit the controller page posted and stick to exact recommendations. thanks again Jorge

Ok I ordered a controller, but I am not sure it is working. The motherboard I an using has 9 sata ports. I am needing 13 total for the drives available. I am adding diagnostic file and pic of the disk controller. Controller has 8 ports available. thank you for your help tower-diagnostics-20220616-2208.zip

Thanks Jorge. I ordered a newer controller. Once it comes in I will install and replace cables as per your suggestion on drives 2 and 4 and report back. thanks again

Here is the diagnostics file tower-diagnostics-20220610-0451.zip

Hello everyone, I posted a few weeks ago about finding a new motherboard for my unraid server. I was able to find one and I installed it and hooked up all my old drives and a few that I have swapped out of our security system nvr at work. Total of 12 drives + parity. Needless to say I am having some issues. First I had one drive, disk 1 that would not mount. I figured no problem since parity was good last time I checked it. I removed it and started the server up again. Now disk 1 is showing not installed. I have 4 drives that I need to format and mount 1 as disk 1. I included pics. I hope they help, thanks in advance, oscar

Thanks Hoopster, yes I was planning on using the CPU and memory out of the DZ Motherboard. The Xeon 3060 is out of the original unraid server with the S3000AH intel motherboard. It started giving me issues which prompted me to try the DZ68BC motherboard. thanks for your help. I will order the gigabyte MB. Will probably be back asking more questions about setting up my drives once I get unraid going again. many thanks.

I found this MB on eBay for $135. Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA1155 Gaming Z77 Intel PC ATX SLI Motherboard * Rev. 1.1 I should be able to use the cpu and memory from non working DZ68BC motherboard and make it work correct?
