  1. You sure your Android device is connected to the same router (over Wifi)?  I can confirm in a test tonight that this works for me with a fresh setup and the Kore app just fine.  I didn't have to enter a username or password at all.  Just let the app search the network, it found the VM no problem.

     

    Most certainly sure, yes... have no issues connecting to my Plex Docker on my Media server from the same Android device(s) and my unRAID console via the browser, etc, I just removed the entire new VM, re-setup everything and no change, doesn't even appear to be getting an IP Address now from my Router, so I think time to call it a night and look at it again in the morning.

    I bet it's your default network bridge. Goto settings -> network settings and see if the network bridge is enabled.  If not, stop the array and enable it.  Once enabled, go to Settings -> VM Manager and make sure that the default bridge is set to br0 and not virbr0.

     

    Remove the existing OpenELEC from the VMs tab, then add a new OpenELEC VM and it will have this new bridge enabled by default. This will ensure you VM gets an IP on the network and is accessible by the Kore app.

     

    I've been using a "br1" (which is what I changed the br0 bridge name too in my network settings) bridge that I setup previously when playing with Win10 VM, not using virbr0.  It's getting a 192.168.1.xx IP address from my router that I can ping and see on my primary network just fine.

     

    This might be a dumb question, but If I physically plug a monitor into the GPU should I be seeing "something" on that monitor when the VM is running?  I'm getting absolutely nothing... I've passed through a USB KB and Mouse and nada.

  3. Did you assign a USB device such as a keyboard or mouse?  If not, to control the VM, you will need to consider using a mobile app such as Kore (for Android) or Official Kodi App (iOS).  Using the app, you can connect to your VM and turn your smart phone or tablet into a remote.

     

    To add your media library to Kodi, you will follow the same process as using Kodi in general.  http://kodi.wiki/view/Video_management

     

    The wiki on kodi.wiki is pretty darn solid, but their is a learning curve in exchange for all the features and customization available.

     

    No USB devices, and I tried using Kore App on my Android device and it's not finding any media center on my network even though the VM is running and I can see the "OpenELEC" has been assigned an IP address on my router.  Attempted a manual config to that IP but no clue on Username/PW and it didn't connect either, so I'm likely missing something obvious.

     

    I tried to SSH from into that IP with no luck...

     

    Maybe I just need to wait... I didn't get the whole Docker and VM's thing for a while either, now more or less "get those", so maybe this will eventually "hit me" also.

  4. Kodi.TV has a lot of good info on how to use it.  You can also control the VM with a mobile app.

     

    Thanks for you help getting the OpenElec VM started... I guess I still don't get the Kodi part... I can't seem to remote or access the OpenElec VM in any way to make any configuration changes, add my video shares, etc.    I guess I need to keep reading, but it seems uber complex with not very good docs on setting up, or doing something with the VM or the app, but maybe I'm just "slow"...

  5. That would avoid you needing the ACS Override setting.

     

    OK, well I did both of those things...(before I saw this 2nd reply), I moved one of the SAS Cards up one PCI-E slot and also enabled the ACS Override... The VM Appears to now have been successfully created (now I need to find the writeup on what to do with it now and how to setup Kodi  :))....

     

    Should I disable the ACS Override Setting?

     

     

  6. Can you go to Tools -> System Devices and copy / paste the IOMMU groups displayed there into the forum here?

  7. Unsure if proper place to add this, but unable to start the newly created OpenElec VM.

     

    Attempting to start using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560TI and get the following "VM Creation Error" when I click Create.

     

    internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:

  8. Thanks so much... this new version seemed to do the trick... I'm using the 01e.zip and it's working great with the one share level down \Movies\HD, etc, which is really as far as I need to go for my use case.

     

    Whatever you did seemed to speed up the report build process substantially too... the first few times I ran it, it was taking 30-40 minutes (and in fact got an out of memory error on my Excel 2013 and moved to 64Bit Version just in case).  That same share report build is just a few minutes now (6ish), although on 64Bit Excel.

     

    One more quick question that I just don't quite get yet is when duplicates are detected, as indicated by "Duplicates found" in Cell B2 of the "Share_File_Listing" worksheet, how exactly do I locate the duplicates that it found (there are over 100K Rows for just the one share on that tab).

     

    Thanks a bunch!

  9. OK, Maybe doing something goofy, but my Input Data Settings options look just like your did in your example screenshot in the zip file (other than my IP Address and Share names in B25 and below).

     

    I "Ran" the report, it ran for several minutes and in the "Share_File_Listing" tab, I see all of my folders in my Movie Share (which is what I selected in the Pull down in Input_Data Cell B15.

     

    But in my RSYnc Command Build, I see only the First Level Subfolders under my Movie User Share (HD, DVD, Converted, Music, BluRay, etc), but not any of the individual movie folders that I see in the Share_File_Listing tab...

     

    So I guess my question is how do I get it to go 2 folders deep in the RSync folder so it will allow me to move \\TOWER\Movies\HD\MovieXYX instead of just \\TOWER\Movies\HD?

    I am building my server this weekend with the same case and icy docks.  Right now I only have 2 cages and not sure when or if ever i would need 4.  But if that time comes, what did you do with the power/reset module that takes up the top slot that limits the stock case to 11 bays?

    thanks,

    Murray

     

    I popped that whole panel off, then removed the Power/Reset switch from it, and run the power wire to the MB through a hole in the back of case on the bottom.  I need to fasten it, or get a replacement switch that is a little "neater", but it's pretty well hidden at the back of the case on the bottom.

    If it is not too much of a pain to get to the back of your server, could you post a picture so I can get a better idea how you did it.  Again, it may be years or never until I would ever need to do it, so if it is too much trouble don't worry about it and if you can do it, I am in no rush so do it at your convenience.

     

    thanks,

    Murray

    No Inside Wiring Pics yet since it's kind of messy still, but will post once I get cleaned up.
