garycase, one more question for you. Do you think it's worth it to replace the stock Intel heatsink or the stock Lian Li fans? I'd go with Noctua for the replacements, and might as well get them before everything's assembled if its worth doing. Thanks!
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

Awesome docker app. So useful!

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.

What BIOS setting are you using on the VM? SeaBIOS or OMVF?
What Machine setting are you using? i440fx or Q35?

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.

EDIT: After writing this reply, I saw that you were asking about a roku box (not an android-based box like a FireTv), which makes my reply useless, sorry. I'll post it anyways, since I already wrote it.
I have a setup running that accomplishes what you're after, but it requires IOMMU (VT-d) support, and running a Windows10 VM.
Here it is in a nutshell:
1. Create a Windows 10 VM and pass through an Nvidia graphics card that supports GameStream (GTX Series)
2. Install Steam
3. Within Steam, add the desired emulator application (such as retroarch) to your steam library as a "non-steam" game
4. Install The "moonlight" android app on your destination box (FireTv, Nexus Player, etc)
The Moonlight application will connect to your Windows 10 VM using Nvidia's GameStream service (basically just mirroring the screen on your VM). Through that, your Steam game library is available to be played on the destination box. I've been playing Portal 2 on my FireTv off and on for a few days now, and it runs smooth as butter, with very little controller lag (I use a wireless Xbox360 controller connected to the FireTv).
Obviously a setup like mine is EXTREME hardware overkill (i7/Xeon processor, GTX video card, etc) if your only desire is to play old nintendo games, but I thought I'd share anyways. With a setup similar to mine, you can play graphics-intensive games on inferior hardware like a FireTv.
Haven't heard of Moonlight. Might have to try that one out!

Make sure you have a backup of everything on your cache.
I learned the hard way after csum errors popped up.
-
They are back in stock online for $119. Still a great price without a promo code.

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.
-
You also need to turn on the feature in the BIOS of your motherboard.
-
All 700/Titan video cards are UEFI compatible out of the box.
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).
-
In store only. Wish this was available for shipping.
Ditto. These are the drives I use!
-
Yes. Simply edit the VM configuration information.
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.

You won't be able to play games remotely using VNC or RDP.
SR,
Ooh! This looks promising. Have you tried doing this via a VM installed on unRAID and playing on a remote machine? How'd it work?
Thanks,
-SG
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.

Any updates on this, any tips on how to get Origin to work with shares?
I tried rix's suggestion above and the VHD method works fine.

Data on my BTRFS cache keeps getting corrupted. I'm switching it to XFS right now.
Data on my BTRFS cache keeps getting corrupted. I'm switching it to XFS right now.
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.

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? [y/N]: y Checking filesystem on /dev/sdg1 UUID: ab29fb8e-0ea3-456f-a34f-5568e4ff1c38 checking extents Fixed 0 roots. checking free space cache cache and super generation don't match, space cache will be invalidated checking fs roots checking csums checking root refs found 95071613159 bytes used err is 0 total csum bytes: 23208692 total tree bytes: 183369728 total fs tree bytes: 132513792 total extent tree bytes: 18743296 btree space waste bytes: 39557776 file data blocks allocated: 131636719616 referenced 94864310272 btrfs-progs v4.1.2

My cache drive is still unmountable.

Hardware looks good. Definitely better than Mac Minis or upgrading to the 2009 Xserves.
It sounds nice, but OS X licensing prevents you from legally running the OS on non-Apple hardware.
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.

Is there a proper procedure to update the Unifi docker, and retain all current configuration?
If not, I may just leave well enough alone
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.
-
Awesome update!
I have recently been thinking about use cases should IGD pass through support ever come!

2.28 update fixed the Safari issue! Thank you for all your hard work!

I've discovered something very very worrying about the urbackup container with btrfs tools,
it's making ghost copies of the container which cannot be deleted, delete the container and image it gives you a warning about being unable to delete a snapshot.
then reboot and there are ghost containers appearing on my dashboard that you can delete, but survive a reboot and are there again.
i am going to message jonp about this, because i'm very concerned that it's doing things to the docker.img file that it really shouldn't be.
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.

Following up. Did some house cleaning using information from this post: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/3894
Used binhex's command in the post above:
find /var/lib/docker/btrfs -type f -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'I took the subcontainer results and removed the old ones that didn't match my current docker containers using this command:
sudo btrfs subvolume delete /var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes/CONTAINERSTRINGNUMBERHERE
Hopefully that does the trick.

Good to know. I placed an order for the Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming on Newegg tonight!
