  1. I am not at my most creative today... Here is something minimal... click on link below for max resolution. http://i.imgur.com/YEy0TFp.jpg
  2. Man... that is some serious unRAID love.... Let me see if I come up with something in my taste....
  3. I have tried many many times. My files are less than 96k, and I have seen the pop-up when I tried to upload larger. I have resorted to placing the file manually in the correct folder and called it banner.png Thanks Bonienl.... your work is awesome.
  4. Sorry.... here is my link: http://gfjardim.maxfiles.org/pkf5zunoa/1c2wqu
  5. I upadated and it seems to be working fine now... I uploaded the log just in case. Thanks again for this plugin!
  6. Johnnie.... it worked!!! Disabling virtualization in the bios did it... what a great releief. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
  7. I ungraded 2 unRAID server's Unassigned Devices plugin and on the Main Page, I just get a spinning wheel with a message "Please wait... retrieving information!" I did a couple of reboots of the server and no luck. Thanks, H.
  8. I am upgrading a friend's 2 year old unRAID machine with a new motherboard, cpu, ram, and new SATA controller card. I have maxed out the 6 ports on the motherboard, and want to add additional hard drives. I have tried 3 SATA Adapters without any luck. The new motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H97M-DH3 with a new i7 CPU. the Mobo has one PCIe-16x slot, two PCI slots, and one PCIe x4 slot. First I tried a SY-SA3114-4R which uses a Sil3114 chipset on both PCI slots. Card would somewhat recognize a hard drive attached (my cache drive) and after a minute or 2, the computer would freeze up, requiring pressing of the power switched. Nothing else worked. On 2 occasions, the cache drive connected to the card would corrupt the hard drive requiring a re-format and rebuilding of the data. I found an old link on how to downgrade the card firmware and I was able to do that, but the same problem occurred with the new bios. I have 2 of these cards on my personal unRAID machine with an older mobo and they work perfectly fine. Next I tried a new SYBA PCI-e version 2.0, x2 slot card from IOCREST, which uses the newest Marvell 88SE9230 Chipset single chip 4-port Gen III 6Gb/s host controller. This time I connected a pre-cleared new 4TB hard drive (did not want to risk the cache drive again). The hard drives were not recognized by unRAID, and the Unassigned Devices just kept spinning and spinning. Stopping the array showed no available drive not being used. I rebooted and w/ Ctrl-M got into the bios of the card. Not much to configure in there, and it showed that the one drive connected was set to RAID 0. Last, I tried a StarTech 4port PCIe SATA 3 6Gbps RAID controller card. from here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158365&cm_re=pexsat34rh-_-15-158-365-_-Product Basically same behavior as the card above. It would not recognize any drives connected to the card. I am at a loss, and don't know what to do. The motherboard bios has no settings for SATA other than IDE, AHCI, or RAID. I tried both AHCI and IDE with the Marvell 88SE9230 Chipset card. No luck. I have been at this for nearly a week. I have bought 3 cards and nothing. I know I could buy one of those Supermicro 8 port cards, but I feel that I will run into the same issue. Can anyone please shed some light on this. Many thanks, H. PS. With the Marvell 88SE9230 Chipset card, I see this as I boot to unRAID: (sorry for blurryness) http://i.imgur.com/ZAHV0dk.jpg
  9. Couple of questions, do you have the cables that go from the card to 8 separate hard drives (dont know the name). And, will this cad work in one of thos PCIE-4x slots on the motherboard, or just on a plain single pcie slot? Thanks, H.
  10. Can that 650w power supply handle 20 hard drives!?? Or is power in the uK behave different that our US 120v...
  11. Very nice... thanks! Anyone else having trouble changing the banner using the web UI? After dropping the banner, or picking the banner file, after hitting "Apply" it reverts to the surfer default banner... I am on 6.1.3
  12. Well the way I do it is setup sources on a client, then you have sources.xml and paste that into your userdata folder on Unraid. Then I think I did the initial shared database via the client, after that it just works. Here's my sources.xml <sources> <programs> <default pathversion="1"></default> </programs> <video> <default pathversion="1"></default> <source> <name>TV Series</name> <path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.1/TV Series/</path> <allowsharing>true</allowsharing> </source> <source> <name>Movies</name> <path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.1/Movies/</path> <allowsharing>true</allowsharing> </source> <source> <name>Downloads</name> <path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.1/Downloads/</path> <allowsharing>true</allowsharing> </source> </video> <music> <default pathversion="1"></default> <source> <name>Music</name> <path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.0.1/Music/</path> <allowsharing>true</allowsharing> </source> </music> <pictures> <default pathversion="1"></default> </pictures> <files> <default pathversion="1"></default> </files> </sources> Makes sense... but you CANNOT scan the libraary after you add the source on the client. That would be the trick. Thanks N.!
  13. Hi Guys... Setting up a new unRAID server for a buddy of mine... If I use this initially, how do I add the sources for each category? TV, Movies, Music, Music Videos? If one cannot do a clean on one of the htpcs connected to TV, and there is no web interface, how does one execute a library clean? Thanks, h. ps. Also, how do I pick which version of Kodi to use, Helix, Isengard...
  14. I was not... somehow I missed the latest upgrade.... I have upgraded, but it still shows the issue. I assume its because I started the process on the older x.18 version. Do you think this is why? Thank you. I just updated to 2015.09.20 . I don't know if it will affect current or only future instances. Working perfectly right now... Many many thanks for this!! This is how the pre-clear process should be...

  16. I get this: /bin/ls: cannot access /usr/share/terminfo/s: No such file or directory If you meant me to type this: ls /usr/share/terminfo/ I get: a/ d/ l/ x/
  17. Sadly I am also getting a funny looking pop-up status display window. It used to be properly formatted, like what one used to see in the 'screen' window on putty.
  18. I created this icon to launch the plugin from the Tools page. Please feel free to use it if you like it. If you want me to try something else, I will be glad to create it for you. http://i.imgur.com/tfM1Zi5.png
  19. Worked like a charm for me... basically I clicked the "Stop Array Process" button and it went to work. I got nothing left open, which is as it should have... and then I was able to stop the array. I will test later tonight by opening a folder and a terminal window to ssome array folder and see. I feel this deserves to somehow be in the Array Operations on Main... but that is above my pay grade. Many thanks for this!
  20. Yes, this is what I did. In fact, I have been running Calibre on Desktop for ages... then I moved the data to a Dropbox so I could update from home and work computers, then I did the unRAID Calibre server Docker recently. I cannot recall that Calibre server does the library creation. I think its only meant to web serve your library.
  21. PS. I have installed Calibre Desktop on my PC's and the configuration points to a folder in my Dropbox. Then I install Dropbox on unRAID and have the Calibre docker point to the dropbox folder. I assume you could setup your Calibre from Windows or Mac and have it point to an unRAID cache-only share and then add you book collection. Point is, you need to first get and add books to your collection from within a Desktop version of Calibre that can be seen by unRAID.
  22. Here are my settings. I use it with Dropbox so I can access my library from anywhere. Did you get it to work?
