Thanks for this! I created a hybrid of @Terebi and @ronia script, and then added an additional variable to append the contents of a static ignore file to dynamically generated one. Why? Just to keep everything contained in one area. To that end, @ronia, I'm using multiple directories as per your script. While it works, it will fail out at step 1 if the directories don't exist. If I have some free time, I may look at adding a check in there so that if say one of three directories is missing, it will continue on... or create the missing directory. ~Spritz

This looks really promising, awesome work! I'd like to schedutil added to the governor settings, and more visibility into what the app is doing auto-magically behind the scenes before I would fully switch over to it.

I'll have a closer look at your script in the next few days, thanks for that! Would I put in your script to ignore hidden files / certain directories, or would that still be taken care of by mover tuning?

Thank you @Terebi and @Swarles for the help and guidance, I really appreciate it. There was a time (pre-4 kids) that I would have loved to dive into scripting a custom solution for myself, but now many of these things are a balance of functionality and time investment. That said, looking at the options available to me already, and the guidance you provided, would the following not mostly work --> - Set mover to run every x Hours - Set mover tuner to move at x% (applicable for Media) - Set mover tuner to use a forced schedule to move all (this covers my "critical" shares) - For my media share, have it override mover settings so it doesn't move on a schedule - Have it only move files that are older than x days for the media share It is a bit of a compromise to what I had originally wanted, but it seems to mostly check all my boxes... unless I'm missing something? Thanks! ~Spritz

Apologies in advance, I'm usually one to read the entirety of a thread, but I threw in the towel around page 37. In any case, either it's not possible, or I can't wrap my mind around how to bend mover to my will. I am currently using a 3TB ZFS pool as cache and would like (in a perfect world), mover to do the following: - ignore hidden files / folders (DONE!) - ignore specific directories (Read the FAQ, just need to implement) - Move my media items after a set # of days OR when usage hits a pre-defined threshold (but still respecting the first two points) - Move all other shares at a set interval / time (at least daily) OR when usage hits a pre-defined threshold (but still respecting the first two points) I realize the irony of being picky about how mover works, when back in the 4.x days, you got what you got and you were happy to have it; but any help or guidance would be appreciated! ~Spritz

@itimpi you're absolutely right, user0 does not show files/folders that are on a cache disk. However, I was thinking (always dangerous) that bypassing cache for portions of some containers may be beneficial. For example, SAB downloads and extracts to cache, but when an *arr program moves the file from the cache download directory they immediately place it on the array (as there is no gain to using cache in this instance). Another example would be @Josh.5 unmanic program. Currently, it reads the library (presumably on the main array), massages them in a temp directory to a new format, and then replaces the existing file. However, when it does this, it ends up writing all these files back to the cache disk, needlessly filling it up. As I said, I was just thinking out loud, and was wondering if it would even work. Thanks! ~Spritz

In the process of tweaking my system which I previously had setup for atomic moves using the Trash Guides. I know the whole point is to make the apps think it's one file system, but does the unraid portion of the file system matter? For example /mnt/user/data/media --> /data/media/ /mnt/user/data/media/downloads --> /data/media/downloads/ /mnt/user0/data/media/film --> /data/media/film/ Will both these examples give atomic moves, or just the first one? Thanks! ~Spritz

Hi All, Normally I don't have an issue with my hardware, both when it fails and when it's all good. However, disk14 just dropped with write errors, but I I'm not sure why and just wanted another set of eyes on the logs. Thanks in advance! ~Spritz brain-diagnostics-20230317-1449.zip

So Unmanic is sooooo close to being perfect (and in fact, may be with custom options), but is it possible to have the it place the stereo audio stream it creates as the first audio track, or alternatively, the default audio track? Follow up to the above, is it possible to then have it reprocess files with the above change? Thanks! ~Spritz

Thanks @JorgeB, much appreciated. I suppose I'll add it back in to the array and rebuild on it. Next time the issue arises, I'll capture some diagnostics. Thanks again! ~Spritz

Hey All, I had a drive kick off due to a multitude of read errors. I've been having a weird issue for the last year or so where on a reboot, some drives are missing until they're reseated (random drives). With that in mind, I ran an extended SMART test which completed without error, but I'm no expert at reading the report. Would anyone be able to comment as to whether or not this looks good? Thanks in advance! ~Spritz ST6000AS0002-1N917X_Z840JGTK-20220316-1032.txt

So weird issue. When I use the nvidia h265 plugin and select "lossless" my output file grows nearly 13x, from 2.8gb to 36gb. If I select "slow", the file shrinks down to about 717mb. Same file both times (as I'm testing my settings). Everything else is default. Thoughts?

Apologies if this has been answered, but I didn't see it in the thread. For the option "Move All from Cache-Yes shares when disk is above a certain percentage" this will also move hidden files, even if you have selected to ignore hidden files. Is my understanding correct? If so, can this behaviour be modified? Thanks! ~Spritz

Thank you!

Likely a very stupid question, but I don't want to test it out right now, as I'm remote. But can I start/stop the array (not the server) remotely with this plugin? I'm assuming yes, but would like to confirm. Thanks! ~Spritz

I was experiencing the same issue, but it seems to be resolved now. Related though, in the previous version of unmanic, you could set it to create a stereo track from an existing multi-channel track (while keeping the original). That said, I can't find an option to do that anywhere... does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! ~Spritz

I believe @Kopernikus question segways into mine. I'm currently using HAProxy and am looking to switch to NPM. However, is it possible to do a wildcard http to https redirect? Thanks! ~Spritz

Any reason why you're using /mnt/cache/appdata vs /mnt/user/appdata? I was under the impression that /mnt/user was preferred? ~Spritz

haha, this bug of yours may actually be a "fix" for what I'm trying to do, namely have it rescan my library and create add a 2-channel sound track to most items. It won't catch everything, but should catch most. ~Spritz

This may be a stupid question, and it is a question that is born from my own stupidity. Initially when I set UnManic, I thought I had set it so that it would create a stereo stream (without modifying the original stream), however that doesn't appear the case and I've now converted all 70+TB of TV. Is it possible to set unmanic to rescan the library and just do the audio portion? Thanks in advance for any help! ~Spritz

I'm not sure what you mean by modify the template, but I will say that every time I update the container, those mappings come back... even after I've deleted them. It's irritating, because then those shares are created, and it appears that it's only this container that does it. ~Spritz

Minor complaint, but how do I stop it from auto creating the Media directory in my user share? Everytime I delete it, it comes back. Thanks! ~Spritz

Thanks for the reply. The issue I'm having is that Sonarr doesn't recognize that the shows have been converted to 265 after Unmanic has processed them. Their is no way to force a rescan, short of deleting the library and re-adding the files. I'm attempting to keep things fully automated, and I'm OCD about things showing correctly. It also irks me that Sonarr may "update" a show to 265 that's already 265. ~Spritz

Apologies for replying to myself, but what workflow are you guys using to have Unmanic play nicely with with Sonarr (specifically V3). I thought about using the Blackhole setting, but then I lose failed download handling. So I'd love to hear any ideas ~Spritz

Even that won't update it unfortunately. While unmanic is awesome (in my test folder it saved me 1TB of space!), it's beauty would be the integration into existing tools. With Sonarr V3 being able to upgrade to 265 (if configured), it will be downloading updates to files that are already 265. If unmanic could simply tag the file in someway, it would be amazing, but I believe @Josh.5 has stated that it is out of the scope of what he wants to do. ~Spritz
