Thank you for the XML, I think this a great app to run in unRAID for performance monitoring! Any updates on the logs and external data? I figured I would just map /var/log but I haven't the slightest clue where the data is kept.

Thanks for the input, ill see if I can convert it and follow that thread.

Hello Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I believe I am having poor performance in my Windows 10 VM on unRAID. The VM does feel a bit sluggish. I ran a benchmark on the drive. See below for the results. The 4K random wrote didn't even finish it was so slow. The SSD is mounted outside the array via the Unassigned Devices plugin. Qcow2 image takes about ~20gigs of space The drive is a CT064M4SSD2 and the specs can be found here: http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16820148441 Here is the XML file: <domain type='kvm' id='8'> <name>Win10-SSD</name> <uuid>06021a5e-af84-772d-2f44-bf863c4eb2a9</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="windows.png" os="windows"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>3</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='4'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='3' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/disks/M4-CT064M4SSD2_0000000012070905EBED/KVM/Win10-SSD/vdisk1.qcow2'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/Miscellaneous/OSes/Windows 10 x64 Enterprise/cyg-win10ent64.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <alias name='ide0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/Miscellaneous/OSes/virtio-win-0.1.112.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-0-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:40:c5:65'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/Win10-SSD.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5902' autoport='yes' websocket='5701' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> Any help is greatly appreciated.

I installed several dockers the last couple of day while on 6.1.4. Everytime it started with a white screen but eventually after waiting several minutes it came back and the docker was installed. I did wait 15+ minutes for something that usually takes ~60 seconds, and I was able to replicate with identical results. Either way, if it crashed or not, I'll just wait until this bug gets squashed and update then.

Updated to 6.1.4 yesterday with no issues, but, Went to add a new container today. White screen, no progress. Waited 15+ minutes, nothing. Opened webgui in new browser window, would not connect. I was able to SSH in and issue powerdown -r to reboot my server. I was able to grab the diagnostics file, but I was very surprised looking at the logs this docker error was not mentioned. Clean booted and replicated the exact same issue. I also tried to update a container that I already had installed, and crashed yet again. Downgraded to 6.1.3 and everything is fine now. I guess I'll wait till 6.2.x or 6.1.5

You can ssh into the docker: docker exec -it MythTv bash

Seems to be a race condition when you restart docker while unraid running... https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38635.msg410787#msg410787 Although I rebooted my box several times and had the same problem as well. I have also rebooted in the past and haven't had any problems. Need to do more investigating but it works now, so off for some rest and relaxation. Sparkyballs --> I didn't mean any harm or disrespect with my comment before, this docker is AMAZING and makes TV life much easier. Thank you for all of your hard work!

what development is needed exactly ? it works as well as can be expected from docker doing something it really isn't designed to do. i've been using it now for in excess of 4 months and have never once lost my settings... i'm guessing you haven't mapped all the volumes correctly. You are correct. After pulling my hair out, I found the problem, the folders aren't being mounted correctly. I use unassigned devices plugin for my MythTV folders. For some reason, folders on my unassigned device HD do not pass through to docker :-( https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38635.msg412432#msg412432 More troubleshooting time!

I can no longer use this plugin for my docker. I currently have the mythtv docker mapped to my external drive. It is set to automount. Had no trouble until I updated the plugin. Now when I map a folder to a folder on my unassigned device, it does not correctly pass through. No error message in docker. I then tried to mount a folder on my cache drive, and it worked flawlessly. Not sure why it is no longer mounting drives from unassigned plugins. Help? EDIT: Seems to be a race condition https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38635.msg410787#msg410787 .

Started the docker and all my settings got wiped. No idea how. My recordings and LiveTV were still there, but nothing else. Had to reinitialize all my tuners and such. Might just go back to this in a VM. There is no longer any development, and it is buggy at best... EDIT: see a few posts down. Sparkyballs was correct and my folders aren't mapping properly :-(

After further research, I still have no clue why it sometimes works and why it doesnt work. Looking at the log files, it seems to be something with the 'mythconverg' database in the mysql install. MythTV advises me to run 'optimize_mythdb.pl', but I could not find it in the installation (googled around a bit for different locations). Found a copy of the script online #!/usr/bin/perl -w # # Connects to the mythtv database and repairs/optimizes the tables that it # finds. Suggested use is to cron it to run once per day. # # @url $URL$ # @date $Date$ # @version $Revision$ # @author $Author$ # @license GPL # # Includes use DBI; use MythTV; # Connect to mythbackend my $Myth = new MythTV({'connect' => 0}); # Connect to the database $dbh = $Myth->{'dbh'}; # Repair and optimize each table foreach $table ($dbh->tables) { unless ($dbh->do("REPAIR TABLE $table")) { print "Skipped: $table\n"; next; }; if ($dbh->do("OPTIMIZE TABLE $table")) { print "Repaired/Optimized: $table\n"; } if ($dbh->do("ANALYZE TABLE $table")) { print "Analyzed: $table\n"; } } # Defragement seek table if ($dbh->do("ALTER TABLE `recordedseek` ORDER BY chanid, starttime, type")) { print "Defragmented: recordedseek\n"; } # Defragement program table if ($dbh->do("ALTER TABLE `program` ORDER BY starttime, chanid")) { print "Defragmented: program\n"; } # Defragement video seek table if ($dbh->do("ALTER TABLE `filemarkup` ORDER BY filename")) { print "Defragmented: filemarkup\n"; } When the script is run, I get: DBI connect('database=mythconverg:host=localhost;port=3306','mythtv',...) failed: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/perl5/MythTV.pm line 371. Cannot connect to database: This is because our mysql is not running on 3306, it runs on 3310. When I edit the MythTV.pm @ line 371 for the correct port, I get "Modification detected in read only file". So any ideas on how to change it so it connects at 3310? This is not my area of expertise. I can upload a copy of MythTV.pm if needed, but it can be found in the above location. The 'optimize_mythdb.pl' script is also suggested to be added to a cron job and run daily, to keep the mythconverg database in optimal shape. MythTV Wiki

Err, something up with my MythTv docker all of a sudden... Can't connect to Mythweb Can't RDP in Only works 50% of the time. If it doesn't work, I restart the docker and sometimes I can view TV, sometimes I can't. Didn't change anything in a while, so I got no clue :-/

Hey Sparkyballs, can you add handbrake-cli into this container? I have officially turned off my KVM machine and I am using your docker instead. I am just missing my script to remove commercials and transcode to x264, which requires handbrake. I used this guide originally: http://pdxpastimes.blogspot.com/2014/11/mythtv-remove-commercials-and-transcode.html Of course, if someone has a better idea, I am very open to it EDIT: I installed it in the container manually. You need to make a few changes to the script (username, password, temp dir), but other than that it works perfectly! In case anyone was wondering, I ran this inside the container: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli You can install a text editor (or just use vi) of your choice if you want to look in /var/log/mythtv

I can't speak to the MythTV frontend but... I changed my Kodi MythTV plugin to point from my MythTV Backend VM to the MythTV Backend Docker and the changes took effect immediately. As log as the Security pin is the same (or you remember to change it in the plugin) it should be a piece of cake. John That's what I am planning to do, but there is a option to adjust the autoexpire setting on the mythtv front end, its not in the backend program. So I will point my KVM front end to my docker back end, make the change and see if it sticks. Going to test tonight and report tomorrow (I'll set for 1 day and see if it deletes) Good news, you can it does work connecting from another front end. However, even "easier" is just editing the mysql DB directly and changing it from there.

Mine is working, it shows as http://<unRAID IP>:6760/mythweb I've been wondering how to change this, but I've never used MythTV before. I'll await a response I tired port 6760 and it did not work. Then I forgot the docker was off, turned it on and volia! Thank you for letting me know! By no means I am not a mythTV guru, but a lot of the settings can be configured in mythweb as well. You still have to restart the back end for them to go into effect. Now to just figure out #2. I'm debating configuring my mythtv KVM machine to use this backend, change the setting and then see if it works in a kodi client. In theory this would work, but in practice its slightly cumbersome.

Sparkyballs, this container is great! I am running mythtv in a KVM machine, and getting ready to make the switch. Just had 2 questions for you 1) Is mythweb running on a different port? http://<unRAID IP>/mythweb is not working 2) I want to change the autoexpire settings on LiveTV, but the only way I know how to do that is MythTV front end, which is not present in the docker. Attached is a screenshot from my KVM machine with the settings. Anyway I can change it in your docker? https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend#General_.28AutoExpire.29 Thanks!

Hello Recently really started into going paperless, and scanning all my bills / documents / tax stuff /etc. as PDF files. What I am looking to do is have some sort of software to organize them in, and make them searchable (aka OCR recognition). The only thing I found remotely close is OCRmyPDF (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/paulstaab/ocrmypdf/) but I am more interested in watching a folder, running OCR, and them dumping them in a searchable index. This is more or less what I am looking to do, but mainly through a docker runing on unRAID. (http://matthopkins.com/technology/automatically-ocr-scanned-documents/). I can scan my document to a network folder, and everything else is automated. Played around with Calibre for a little bit, but its more geared towards e-books. I don't even know if this is possible, but I figured this was a great place to start and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks

From this post in the beta 15 announcement: Did you also make sure that libvirt plugin was not being loaded? If you were on the latest KVM Manager plugin then it should already have been removed, but earlier releases of the KVM Manager plugin required it. Just looked, I don't seem to have it. /boot/config/plugins correct? Nothing with libvirt in there. (Beta 14b). No idea where it was stored. I just look at the plugins page within the GUI to see what plugins are installed. It is not listed on the plugin page. unRAID also automatically loads thing from /boot/plugins and /boot extra. Check those folders also. I reported an issue earlier in the thread which turned out to be because I had libvirt in /boot/extra. Thanks, I was not aware of the other two folder locations for plugins. /boot/plugins is an empty directory on my system and the folder /boot/extra does not exist. However, I also remembered I have some extra stuff in /boot/packages, but libvirt was not there. I then executed "find libvirt" in /boot, but nothing found. So it looks like no networking in beta15 has nothing to do with libvirt. Run the following from the command line: lspci -k Look for Ethernet controller(s) (you may have more than one). Look at the "Kernel driver in use" and report back. Look in in your MB manual and see what NIC is used on your board (or manufacturer's name model number if a plugin adapter is being used). You would probably be better served if you open up a new thread under the 'General Support' of the version 6 Support area. To summarize: No networking once I upgraded to beta15. I have since then rolled back to beta 14b lspci -k 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57781 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device 96b1 Kernel driver in use: tg3 Kernel modules: tg3 Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Thank you

Had the exact same problem as you regarding the networking. Came from beta 14b Uninstalled VM plugin and rebooted Updated to beta 15. Download took a long time and no indicator, just a white window. I checked /tmp and saw the zip file downloading Rebooted. No network access Hooked up a monitor, everything running smoothly, just no network activity. Ifconfig revealed that I had no network IP address, just loop back. Turned off machine , plugged USB drive into my windows PC and restored the beta 14b backup Booted 14b with no problems. Reinstalled VM manager Guess I'll wait to beta 16 or a RC

Apparently unRAID does not play nice with the chipset. Solved my problem buying a AOC-SAS2LP-MV8. Booted and recognized it right away
