Is there a way to use SynergyProject so that I can switch between screens with a hotkey and not by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen (epic fail in gaming) Thanks

Because that is where the keyboard & mouse are connected to (it's a Mac keyboard), and because the Win10 VM is powered on only when gaming.

Just played with it. So my VM with win10 is accually the "client", and the MacBook is the "server". Works as it should. But there are some anoyances. - The fact that my Macbook must be on all the time, for me to use the win10 vm. - Also every time a window or a dialog pops-up on the win10 vm, the active screen changes to Mac, and I have to move the mouse until it recovers. Very weird. Need to test this more. Thanks again

Thank you my good man I just had the same issue on a new Win10 VM for gaming. This was the solution for me! Used the registry trick. Games now start without issues. Also noticed that when the VM boots, it discovers the network drives straigth away.

Thanks for the fast reply guys! Looks interesting, will check it out. But when I hear "software switch", I automatically think "input lag". Since I will be using the win10 vm for gaming, would this be an issue? Thanks again.

Hi all, I am planning to setup a Win10 VM that I will use for casual gaming (it will not be powered on 24/7). I currently have a few dockers running (sabnzbd, deluge, webgrabplus) and one OpenElec VM (on all the time). OpenElec is connected to a TV and controlled by a IR-remote with a USB-IR receiver. Since I do most of my daily work on a MacBookPro connected to my main screen (HDMI), I want the new win10 VM to do the same just via DisplayPort. I would like to be able to use one and the same USB-keyboard & mouse I use on the MacBook, on the win10 VM running on unRAID. Is this possible? My mobo has only one USB controller, and after I insert my main GPU card I will have no access to the other PCI slots (it's a mITX mobo). Have one of these: ATEN 2-port USB Sharing Device US224 It includes a button-switch, to allow me to switch between two PCs. I tried this on the OE vm, and it did work to begin with. But after I switch to mac, and back again to OE, it stops working. Any ideas?

Hmmm, I am also wondering how my gaming VM is supposed to be setup. I have a i5 6600K "Skylake" with 4 cores. I am currently running: Dockers: Sabnzbd, Deluge, WebGrab++ (these don't do anything most of the time). OpenElec VM (allways on - used for watching liveTV - Assigned 1 core and 1gb RAM) So I am looking to add a Win10 VM for gaming. It will be powered on only when I want to game. Is it safe to assign all 4 cores to this one?

Ah, so stupid. I was trying the whole time to type 'telnet ip' instead of 'ssh ip'. Working now thanks again.

Yes telnet to unraid box works just fine.

Yup. br0 bridge, I have the ip, it has the correct format, see it also in my router admin-page. As I mentioned, used the ip already to connect to OE via sFTP, it worked. But telnet does not... weird.

One thing I cannot seem to get working is telnet towards the OE VM. Keep getting "Connection refused". I have ssh enabled in OE. FTP works just fine so I can access files and such. Or is there a way I can avoid using ssh, and just map a /appdata/openelec folder to my cache to store OE userdata files?

Thanks a lot for your help. Up and running

Thanks! That was it I corrected the image, and got the OE installer. After install was complete (I guess), forced stopped the VM, and removed the OE install image disk. But when I start it again, is does not boot up. Perhaps is does not work with VNC innside OE? and I must assign a GPU to it?

I am using SeaBios, didn't pay much attention to it, it was the default value plus the tutorial used the same... One thing I noticed here compared to the xml created when using LT template, is that it creates a mount to appdata, but here it does not ask for that... This is the xml after I edited it and started the VM for the first time. <domain type='kvm'> <name>OpenElec-unraid</name> <uuid>1d7ba658-92da-2448-1543-b5691a3e41a8</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="openelec.png" os="openelec"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>1048576</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>1048576</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <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='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/vdisks/openelec/OpenElec-unraid/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='sata'/> <boot order='2'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/ISOs/OpenELEC-unRAID.x86_64-5.95.3_1.img'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='sata'/> <boot order='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:c6:20:f0'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='e1000'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/OpenElec-unraid.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='no'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain>

Ok thanks. I am getting nowhere with OE. I followed the tutorial in the first post in creating the VM and modifying the xml before start, also tested with both images. Am I missing something obvious here?

I am about to setup a OE vm on my unRAID and was just wondering... does it mean we cannot use OEs built-inn update function to upgrade OE to newer versions? So if a new version gets released, we have to setup a new vm and all the settings over again? Thanks

Hi all, I have no idea if this was done before or not, but I could not find anything regarding asp.net and unraid, so I went to work. I am quite new to all unRAID-related, and by that also everything Docker-related. But as I saw this enormous potential in using it, I went and read everything I could find on it. Especially on creating own images and containers. My focus was primary on getting a asp.net web site(s) working on unraid, without having to install a vm as a web-server. Microsoft has done half of the job already for us, by creating asp.net 5 framework (or vNext) dockers that we can use. So i tested this first on my dev machine (windows) at work, by creating a demo mvc app (default app). After two whole days, I finally got it working there the way I wanted. Now I pushed i to the docker hub, and then added it to the unRaid docker via terminal. It worked better that I expected! Success! Next is to learn how to add all the info that the docker needs in unraid, version and Edit options.

Ok, just for future reference: we need to add a blank line in the 'mycron' file after the settings The file is now picked up and the trigger hits at the specified time Thanks again!

Ok, changed the permissions on the file, restarted the docker, still, does not pick up settings in the mycron file. Just shows the default one... Removed the file, created it via telnet with nobody:users, still the same. Removed the file, created it with 'Krusader' still the same... Thanks again.

I used SublimeText3, could it be permissions? I can try via Windows and use Notepad++

Yeah it returned the default one... 02 02 * * * /wg++/update.sh So it's probably not picking up the 'mycron' file from the /appdata/wgplusplus/ folder?

Hmmm.. that is exactly what I have done. When I restart the webgrab-docker it runs webgrab instantly and fetches the EPG, but never hits the specified time after that. Perhaps I need to wait til the next day? Is there a way to see a list of cron jobs?

Du har rett mister Checked the log after first run: WebGrab+Plus/w MDB & REX Postprocess -- version V1.56.12 Takker I did not understand the part with creating a file called 'mycron', what extenstion does the file have? And do I place it in the config folder of webgrabplus or somewhere else? I am testing the automatic grabbing, but it didn't fire at the specified time in the 'mycron' file ( I restarted the container after edit).

It should be ready in an hour or so Thanks mate! Awesome. I checked the docker build details, and the last one is from 3 hours ago. But in the dockerfile it stil points to patchexe_54. How do I know I am running version 56.12 BETA? This is the beta_56 patch download: http://www.webgrabplus.com/sites/default/files/patchexe_prebuild.zip Thanks again.

Thanks for this repo, just what I need. I was wondering, do I have to create my own dockerfile in order to use WebGrab++ Beta (56.12)? Beta version is the only one that works proper with SchedulesDirect.
