I, too, have hikvision cameras with blue iris running in a windows VM and would also prefer a docker. There is a blue iris docker (in development I think). I tried posting on their forum for an update/offering support where I can, but haven't heard anything.

Any chance of creating a "networking" forum to discuss networking related issue, i.e vlans, dns, dhcp?

@mifronte can you specify the rules you created to intercept DNS queries and redirect to your routers DNS resolver? I believe this is still an issue not being able to define dns servers when creating vlan interfaces in unraid.

@mifronte Did you make this a feature request? I'm interested in this as well.

@McMeanF did you figure out if this is possible?

Hey @Bungy. Any status update on this? Would love to get blueiris off my win 10 vm.

Awesome. It works. Thanks.

No problem. I can test.

Is it possible to install GhostScript to enable printing? "Printing support requires GhostScript to be installed. If guacd cannot find the gs executable when printing, the print attempt will fail."

Many advantages from what I've researched. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252916 Essentially, once I determined I would use Kodi for media playback on LAN (instead of Plex) I started researching the best hardware for Kodi - which led me to the link posted above. This next quote is what prompted me to use Libreelec

I just received the Khadas Vim2 earlier this week. I boot the VIM2 into Libreelec from an external SD. From reading the Libreelec support forums, I settled on the VIM2 because of known issues with Intel NUCs and shields. Also, for the price point its hard to beat. I run Plex on unraid and use plexkodiconnect on kodi to sync everything. So far its working great. Also, I use HDMI cec so my TV remote works. I bought Flirc thinking I would need it but its nice that VIM2 supports CEC.

is running this command the only way to generate htpasswd? docker exec -it letsencrypt htpasswd -c or could we use something like this http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html with md5 and name the file .htpasswd?

I guess I have this requirement? https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=325077 Also, I've been looking at the different options here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252916. Looks like AMLogic S905X / S905D / S912 running the preferred LibreELEC is recommended all around. That being said, the VIM2 @DZMM mentioned seems to be a winner. Thanks for suggesting set-top boxes. From the brief research I've done, I even think the VIM2 is better than the hardware I have in the tower for 10bit HEVC (H.265)....go figure. I would have thought the $$ I spent on that hardware is more capable than a $120 device..

I saw those adapters too when looking up the MiBox..certainly an option. I was reviewing this guide https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=209596 which explains how to use MPC-HC as an external player in Kodi (also has a section on how to program a remote) So you have a dedicated HTPC in your Home Theatre, yet you use a different device? Which one? Performance/quality the same?

I have a Vizio P55-E1, which is 4K. My tower is an i7 4790k and gtx 970, both of which I'm under utilizing at the moment. I was hoping to use my existing hardware as an HTPC and workstation, instead of having to buy additional.. But if I can achieve the same (if not better) video/quality performance with a set-top box, then I'll certainly consider. Over the past day or two, I've been researching Kodi on Windows (which would be a VM on the unraid tower) with MPC-HC and madVR. This might be overkill but its interesting. That being said, I do like the KHADAS VIM2. Mibox 3 is wireless only and since I have available ethernet ports I prefer to use that. @DZMM Which set-top box do you use?

I like the idea of having everything in one box too, so that's the goal. I wish I ran HDMI from the office when I renovated the house last year. Running HDMI to the living room TV will be easy because the basement ceiling is open. Office is out of the question....only because I ran all the cat6 cables myself so I know the path down to the basement...impossible to do without many many holes and even then I'd have to drill through some studs. I suppose HDMI runs would work for my current situation (debatable for the office). However, I tend to think of scale-able solutions. For example, having to run HDMI to a TV or monitor in a guest house probably wouldn't work due to the limitations of HDMI. This is where AV over IP comes into play, but these solutions are expensive. Looks like the solution is to run HDMI for the living room and HDMI balun for the office (I'll give this more thought before buying).

I was planning on use flirc with the usb extender to LE. You're right, though. I don't think this will work due to the lack of USB (not sure how I missed that). @wayner Do any products come to mind? I would like to utilize the cat 6 runs if I can achieve the same results as running dedicated hdmi.

I can run HDMI and USB from my unraid tower (specifically a gtx 970 passed through to libreelec) straight to the tv. The office monitor, however, is on the third floor so running HDMI is easier said than done. I was looking into this on amazon. I believe this would solve the problem of getting hdmi and usb to the monitor from the basement. Claims uncompressed 4k 60hz (even though I only need 1440p)

Lets say I have two VMs on Unraid. One running Windows 10 for the office monitor and one running libreelec (kodi) for the living room TV. What is the best way to control/view the VMs if I have cat6 wired to each location from the basement? Also, I would put the unraid server in the basement. FWIW - I have two runs of cat6 to each location. Also, lets assume the libreelec VM to TV would need to support 4k 60hz (using HDMI since the TV has HDMI ports) and Windows 10 VM 1440p (using DisplayPort for the monitor)

How does AV over IP fit into this equation, specifically products like Crestron and Just Add Power? It seems like many people are buying a shield ~ $200 for each TV. Is it possible to truly use Unraid as the one/main PC and display to every TV/monitor in the house without the need for buying a separate device for each TV?

Is there a difference if I use windows explorer to transfer files from one share to a newly configured share?

I see. Thanks. Does the disk/share allocation I mentioned above resemble your configuration?

Also, if I have an existing share called "Files", where files reside on multiple Disks, but then I change it to include Disk 5 (in my example), what happens to the files on the other disks? Are they moved to Disk 5?

Interesting. I'd like to implement what you have set up. I have 5 4tb drives. Does the below look correct? Not sure what allocation method to use though. Disk 1 - Movies, split-level 1 Disk 2 - Movies, split-level 1 Disk 3 - TV Shows, split-level 2 Disk 4 - TV Shows, split-level 2 Disk 5 - Other

If Gladiator is on Disk 1 and Sopranos is on Disk 1 and 2, you're saying both disks would spin up when playing Gladiator?
