  1. I have a Lightberry kit on my TV as well. Was working great with my Raspberry Pi 2 + OpenELEC install. After moving to the ShieldTV, unfortunately I CANNOT find a HDMI splitter that retains HDMI-CEC functionality. I was also told by Lightberry that such a device does not exist. Now I'm trying to sell it since lack of CEC support renders my ShieldTV useless for WAF (wife acceptance factor). Basically I need to be able to control the ShieldTV with the television remote.
  2. I ordered some Fractal Design Venturi fans to replace the front 140mm and top 120mm today. Can't wait to hear them scream! Up next, GTX 1070, and probably a better psu than the cx430 The GTX1070 is super efficient. LinusTechTips did a quick review of it and it drew less than 200 watts under full load (that's for the entire system). Good to know. I placed an order for the Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming on Newegg tonight!

  4. Picked up a ShieldTV last week and so far I'm impressed with it functioning as a media streamer with Plex and Emby. It definitely replaces my Raspberry Pi 2 running OpenELEC and lumps everything into one box. Plex for local media and Emby for remote live TV watching. Most everything I have it plays directly through Plex. If it has to transcode, it's usually only audio. HDMI-CEC lets me use my TV remote to control it. Nvidia streaming lets me use the ShieldTV similarly to how I use Steam in-home streaming. Oh and the UI is blazing fast. This thing does it all, quite well! All that aside, I can now say I've ditched Kodi and moved exclusively to Plex. I hated the inconsistency of watched flags for my media with having Plex on mobile devices and Kodi on my media box, so having the ShieldTV which provides a great Plex UI helped make that decision. However, until Plex gets better channel support for devs to make some better looking UI's, I use Emby for streaming live TV from my office (have a PC there that has a Ceton card + ServerWMC) because having the full guide looks a whole lot better than a text-based menu.
  5. What BIOS setting are you using on the VM? SeaBIOS or OMVF? What Machine setting are you using? i440fx or Q35?
  6. Yeah it seems as though tables are getting dinged by Adblock. My Hikvision camera also had the same issue with the settings section. Had to whitelist the IP.
  7. Haven't heard of Moonlight. Might have to try that one out!
  8. Make sure you have a backup of everything on your cache. I learned the hard way after csum errors popped up.
  9. They are back in stock online for $119. Still a great price without a promo code.

    An idea

    I too am slightly inconvenienced by waiting for drives to spin up for recent media. But only slightly! One option I can think of is to set the mover to run less frequently, perhaps weekly on an off-day that works best for your favorite shows airing schedules. That does compromise your data, since it would be sitting on your cache drive longer and not parity protected followed by taking up costly precious SSD space.
  11. You also need to turn on the feature in the BIOS of your motherboard.
  12. All 700/Titan video cards are UEFI compatible out of the box. Source: http://forums.evga.com/Buying-GTX-750-Ti-FTW-support-for-UEFINO-CSM-MODEGOPWin8-FASTBOOT-and-triple-monitors-m2124368.aspx I think you'll need to use OVMF. Unfortunately that requires a fresh VM, last I checked (i.e. you can't change to it on an existing VM).
  13. Ditto. These are the drives I use!
  14. Could you possibly show me picture of where this is? I'm not sure if view xml is the correct location. The VM cannot be running if you want to edit the RAM. You'll have to shut down the VM before you can see edit.
  15. You won't be able to play games remotely using VNC or RDP. Steam in-home streaming works decently well. Make sure to throw enough cores and RAM to the VM (and obviously pass through the discrete GPU). For best results, make sure the machine you're playing on is on ethernet.
  16. I tried rix's suggestion above and the VHD method works fine.
  17. I also had my BTRFS drive become corrupt. Been in XFS for the last 2 months and very happy I switched. Been using a 3 drive btrfs array for many months now and no corruption. Array and/or cache drive with dockers? If I remember correctly BTRFS cache with dockers has issues with corruption. Array and cache. The docker corruption issues happen inside the loop back image, not on the parent filesystem. And worth noting this is fixed in the next release. Well my BTRFS cache drive went tits up out of nowhere this afternoon. Ashamedly no backup of my docker apps or virtual machines. Wish the mentioned fix would have prevented this huge pain in my neck. Going XFS this time around.
  18. Welp, I too just came home to a dead cache drive. Same exact situation as Andro (except in my case already running 6.1.9). Came home, couldn't reach any dockers. Ran through log and noticed a lot of btrfs errors. Stopped array and rebooted. Came back up to unmountable cache drive. And I was JUST thinking yesterday I need to back up my cache drive! (to which I didn't follow through) Running the command suggested by johnnie.black root@Unraid:/mnt# btrfs check --repair /dev/sdg1 enabling repair mode repair mode will force to clear out log tree, Are you sure?

  19. Hardware looks good. Definitely better than Mac Minis or upgrading to the 2009 Xserves. I think you missed the thread of users unraid to run MAC vm's, while technically illegal there;s more that this community running OS X on non apple hardware. Oh I'm well aware and I have tried it out myself. I just feel business environments are quite different and a slippery slope.
  20. It sounds nice, but OS X licensing prevents you from legally running the OS on non-Apple hardware.
  21. Here's how I just did it: Download the backup from Settings -> Maintenance Update the Docker On the first step of setting up Unifi, select restore from backup file.
  22. Awesome update! I have recently been thinking about use cases should IGD pass through support ever come!
  23. 2.28 update fixed the Safari issue! Thank you for all your hard work!
  24. Hi. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? I think I found a fix to remove the ghost copies. It's not a solution to the issue, but a fix to free up the space eaten up by the subcontainers. Check the linked post below and the post after it. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=42654.msg448380#msg448380
