Right. So, first change the name of the two folders to "Movies," and then turn on user shares. Since I'm only using them for playback through Plex I can continue to use disk shares for copying, moving, deleting, etc. without any issues, correct? Also, do I need to change any settings in user shares since I won't be writing to them? B.

Is it okay to use both, then? I still want to transfer files directly to a disk share folder from the desktop and the other parts of the system are working fine...TV shows, music, etc. Then just turn on user share for Movies and link those two folders, so it shows up as one? Or am I misunderstanding? B.

Details of system: Unraid 6.9.2 4 discs in array (+ parity) Set up in disc share mode with multiple folders in almost every drive that are easily accessible by my desktop computer. The problem: I have a movie folder on 2 drives and I want this to be accessible from my media management software as a single folder (currently Plex). What I see in the client is two titles for Movies. I would like them to be all in one section. I thought I could just add a media location in the setup template where the two drives would have the same name and then they would be combined, but this doesn't work (or I am doing it wrong). What is the simplest way to make this possible? (Currently, they are named Movies and Movies2, but I could change them both to be the same name if needed.) I thought about turning on user shares, but since I copy directly to folders (normally) when I add data I didn't want everything to get messed up. Thanks, Brian

I have it. I just don't know how to use it.

Ok. I just deleted everything and reinstalled and I'm up and running. Hope there won't be a next time. Thanks, Brian

I renamed the database files (2 of them) as is stated in the instructions to two days before the power failure, but nothing is different. When I launch the WebUI I get the same message. B.

I lost power yesterday and now none of my plex clients can connect to the server. When I launch the WEBUI from inside the Docker tab in Unraid, I get "This site can't be reached" Is there something that needs to be reset? The link it is trying to load is my server address:32400/web/index.html Thanks, Brian

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm having an issue and I'm sure I'm just doing something incorrectly. I currently have this docker running fine with one source. I believe my problem stems from the Container Path. In my current configuration (Host Path 2) I have /media as my container path and then I have my host path point to mnt/disk1/TV shows. Default value is /mnt/user. Everything works. I want to add my movies folder. I tried to make a new path labeled Host Path 3, but I don't know what to put in my container path. I first had "/media" (the same as Host Path 2) and it deleted my entire docker with an error that said duplicate path. Should I just rename it "media2" or is this not going to work? What should I do? Thanks, Brian

So...I should be able to install the current docker and when the 1.8 update comes through it will happen automatically or is there something that will need to be done here, by you guys to get it to update? Thanks, Brian

Yeah, I figured, but since it needs replacement (and I have the case, fans and PS) I might as well get something current. I installed my RAM into a computer at work and it was fine, so it is either the MOBO or the CPU. A cheaper CPU only seems to be $75 less. Might as well go with the one I spec'd, right? Thanks for taking the time to help. Brian

You're saying to stay away from B450 and B550? Go for X570? I only use the server for a single "direct play" plex stream or for music streaming. It's not for gaming at all. Are you saying I should be looking at 32GB? I only had 8GB before and it seemed to work fine...cost isn't a big deal, but don't want to spend when it isn't necessary. Thanks, Brian

So...I'm looking at a Ryzen 5 3600 (~$225), GeForce GT710 ($50), AsRock B450M Steel Legend ($80) and Crucial DDR4-3600 2x8GB kit ($75). Sound okay? Too little? Too much? cheaper processor? Thanks for any advice. Brian PS. I take it I can just hook up the new components, re-insert the Flash and the system will be intact? No data loss?

I did a cmos reset and pulled the battery and still no post. There is no GPU. The board has integrated graphics only and no cards plugged into the motherboard. I tried pulling the memory and using one stick with no difference. I swapped and reseated the memory and it still doesn't work. The motherboard is an ASRock H97M Pro4. I believe the CPU is a G3258. The memory is 4GBx2 DDR3 1600Mhz. Should I just upgrade it? I only use 2 data drives and 1 parity (4TB ea) and case is a large ATX.

I would assume I don't have the current motherboard BIOS, but how do I update it when I can't get it started? The monitor was working fine on my main PC--I pulled it over to the server to test it. No, I do not see any BIOS whatsoever (no signal at all) when I power the server up. I replaced the power supply and I still have the same situation. I tried HDMI, VGA and DVI out of the computer and no signal/BIOS from any of them. Starting to wish I hadn't clicked "upgrade." What is the next step to test? Pull the memory? Disconnect the drives? I already pulled the USB stick out and tried to boot, but nothing.

Thanks for all the replies. I did this and I do not get anything on video. I do have power, but not signal/display. I put my USB stick into my main computer and I'm able to access it. There are 3 folders that look like they were accessed the previous day: config, previous and syslinux. Next step?

Hi, my system was running fine with 6.6.6, but the header on the main page said "update to 6.8.3" so I clicked it. It did it's thing and said I needed to reboot. I clicked reboot and now nothing. I can no longer access the server from //tower. I did a hard turnoff and restarted the server, but I still can't access it. What do I do? Thanks!

Yes, immensely. It's easy, but I would have never known how to do it without the simple instructions. Thanks much. I've been running it for a few days and haven't run into the unpacking queuing issue, so it seems all is well. Thanks again, Brian

I don't know what you mean or how to do that. I just went back to the current version and just restart NZBGet every day or two. Does anyone know if SAB has this problem? Any reason to stick with NZBGet?

So, I went ahead and rolled back to v19, but now I can't get the WebUI to function. It just says "404 Not Found." For the heck of it I went up to v20 and same problem. What am I doing wrong? B.

Hope someone has some advice. I'm new to using dockers (been doing it for about two months). I set up Sonarr and NZBGet. The issue I'm having is that when NZBGet tries to unpack it will go on indefinitely. I.e. in the status section it says "unpacking" and the green circle above is spinning, but nothing happens. The solution is always the same, click restart from the docker menu in unraid. Once I do this everything clears and works fine until it happens again. I'd say it is not 100% that this occurs, but pretty close. Is there a setting in NZBGet that needs to be changed? I was about to try SAB, but thought maybe there is an easy fix. If I go into the message section I see 100s of the same error message(s): "URL is not valid:" and then "Download my feed failed." These occur every 15 minutes. Thanks! Brian

Can't believe I didn't do this before! Thanks for the help! Now, I will have to check into a cache pool. Do I need v6 for this? Thanks, Brian

Is this all I need then? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 B.

supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full advertised link modes: same link partner advertised link modes: same as above Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full There was more, but this is what you are after, no?

The computer I'm reading/writing to is new, so I'm assuming it is Gigabit, but if the card/MB in the NAS is not, then all I need to do is add a network card? How can I check for sure? (I know the network switch is Gigabit.) B.

Hi all, I am currently running a fairly old UnRaid system (hardware-wise) that typically writes at 10MB/s. I see others reporting 20-30 without cache drives (I don't have a cache). What sort of information can I supply that would help with determining how I can increase performance? Is there a way to know what motherboard, memory and CPU I have without opening the case (i.e. remotely)? I'm currently on 5.06 and the system has been working well for at least several months. Thanks! Brian
