Anyone have any advice on how to enable Nvdia gpu transcode on plex in in this container? All the resources I can find reference linuxserver's image, which has different variables in the template. I have included --runtime=nvidia in extra parameters. can I just create the additional variables in the template for gpuid etc? Will that just work?

@JorgeB you're a legend. Thanks for the detailed rundown, that's a more complete picture than Ive ever seen in one place. This is what I suspected as Ive previously had some instability with 1st gen Ryzen but it seemed remedied after disabling c-states.

For the past few months Ive been experiencing crashes. I figured out that I had a bad stick of RAM and have removed that and run memchecks on the other sticks and everything checks out fine. However my server is still crashing this time harder than before--even the command line disappears on the direct attached monitor. I have started receiving MCEs and am posting my diagnostics in hopes that someone can provide some insight. Thanks! deathstar-diagnostics-20230109-1636.zip

Got it. Thanks for the info!

Im getting mce notifications on my server and per @Squid post here looked to install mcelog in nerd pack. Nerd pack being deprecated, we have been directed by the developer to install Nerd Tools, but mcelog doesn't seem to be included in NT. Anyone have any ideas on where one should get mcelog?

Recently encountered the following error: Error parsing column 42 (MediaInfo={ "rawStreamData":... Attempted to restore from a CA backup with no success. Same error. Got pissed and nuked radarr, config, database and all to start from scratch. Lo and behold, my error is back after fewer than 3 days of normal running. Can anyone lend assistance? debug attached. radarr.debug.txt

UPDATE This is rather embarrassing, but I realized that I updated my BOIS and because Im using 1stGen Ryzen, Cstates was re-enabled and caused crashes at low power. Thanks all.

I am also having this issue on 6.8.3

I assume you mean memtest86? Boot from USB?

Ive started experiencing daily lock-ups on my server. I hadn't modified anything in the system and it went from flawless operation to unusable. Havent been able to find anything obviously wrong. Ive attached the syslog that I mirrored to the flash. Please halp. Thanks ahead of time. syslog

Yeah there are a couple listed in CA. The one maintained by @peter_sm hasn’t been updated since 11/19. I’ve reached out to them to make sure that it’s still being maintained, but haven’t gotten a reply. im just looking to see what people recommend.

I'm working on setting up a remote Unraid server for backups of my home Unraid system. I run OpenVPN-as on an Ubuntu machine on my local network. I'm looking for recommendations for the best way to install an OpenVPN client on my remote box. Thanks for any help.

@peter_sm Before I install, I just wanted to make sure that this is still supported. I see discussion of potentially deprecating bc of wireguard implementation.

I realized after I posted this that I didnt need to pass the NIC through to the VMs but rather activate the NIC in the Network Settings tab and then specify that the VMs use that connection.

I'm setting up a pentesting lab and need to stand up several VMs in an AD domain. I want these to be on a separate network from my primary, so I have installed a PCIe NIC and have it available to pass through to my VMs for attaching to a separate router. Im not sure how I can get all of my VMs to share the NIC, much in the same way they share a single physical connection in unraid. When I attempt to start more than one VM using the NIC, I [obviously] get the error saying that the NIC is already in use. Any help would be great.

Thanks for everyone's help. Changing the power supply Idle Control setting in the BIOS seems to have done the trick. No issues since.

Thanks for the feed back all! John_M, can you point me to the text for that go file tweak? I cant seem to find it. Not 6 months ago I couldnt avoid it, but now that I need it... As an update, Ive modified the Power Supply Idle Control, as this was apparently introduced in a recent BIOS as a way to avoid disabling C6 altogether. If this doesnt work, Im going to disable C6 in the bios. If that doesnt work, Im going to use the go file tweak. If that doesnt work I will investigate disabling rcu callbacks per spaceinvaderone's video. If any of this sounds like a garbage plan, let me know. Thanks

To your first post, 2 years then. I couldnt remember when it was released, but it was soon after initial release that I purchased the CPU. Also, Ive never experienced instability issues with this system and thus never disabled C6 or effected the boot options tweak or the go file tweak. Yes Ive simply reset CMOS and havent yet re-enabled virtualization. Ive been focused on just getting the system stable as-is.

Thanks for the response. Ive actually run a memory test and everything was fine. I will try uninstalling those plugins again...and then Safe Mode. If I dont have any issues in Safe Mode, what is that telling me? How should I proceed from there? Additionally, Ive attached an image of the most recent lockup from just a few minutes ago.

Version: 6.6.7 UNRAID Server Plus MB: ASRock X370 Taichi CPU: Ryzen (1st gen) 1700x BIOS: v4.8 Mem: 16GB G. Skill TridentZ DDR4 3200 Cache: 250GB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSD Array: Assorted WD & Seagate Unassigned Device: 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD Hello all, I am at my wit's end with this issue. I have been running my current setup for nearly 3 years without a hiccup but starting in January I started experiencing odd behavior. The first sign on something amiss was my server froze, upon restart all of my dockers and VMs were gone. It ran fine for a few weeks until seemingly out of the blue it began freezing every 12 hours or so. I have a monitor and keyboard attached but the terminal was completely unresponsive. I restart and enter GUI mode to see if I can gather more info or if I'm given a warning before freezing, but get nothing. The GUI freezes completely. No keyboard or mouse input accepted. Fix Common Problems reports nothing. Since then, the following actions have been taken with no improvement in outcome: 1. Uninstalled all VMs, docker containers, and plugins -- system still froze 2. Reinstalled OS -- system still froze 3. Reinstalled all SATA devices -- system still froze Attached to this post is a .zip containing diagnostics and an image of the syslog when the system was frozen. Please feel free to let me know if additional information is required. AND THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP. I'm at the end of my rope with this. tower-diagnostics-20190305-1304.zip

I’m experiencing a similar issue. On all of my clients (chromecast, iOS, and tv app) a certain number of shows will no longer play successfully. I’m most cases, I’ll get 5-10 minutes in until the stream hangs up and acts like it’s buffering (even on direct stream) and never successfully resumes. No warning about server or connection speed. No eventual time-out. I’ve read a recommendation that one should explicitly specify a transcode dir on the cache, but it’s been my understanding that plex automatically transcodes on the cache if the app and sys shares are cache only. Also, linuxserver’s repo doesn’t provide a path for a /transcode dir.

Im having this issue too. The flickering and stuttering happens no matter which player I use (web, chromecast, tv app). If anyone has any resources, please share.

I've just reinstalled Linuxserver's plex docker after my server randomly decided to delete all of my dockers and vms; however, I cant seem to remember what I should do with the "transcoder temporary directory" setting. By default it's blank, but I cant find anything telling me where the default location is. Does anyone know where the default transcoder directory is???? I want to make sure that my transcoder directory is on my SSD cache.

Ok. So I guess what I need to do is figure out how to partition the drive. The disk is formatted in XFS, but Im still not given the option to choose a vdisk size. This is the manual location Im typing into the vdisk location option. /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_S1DBNSBF882120V

That's what Ive done, however, when I manually set my vdisks to be on my unassigned device, the vdisk size option goes away. So the vdisk just occupies the entire unassigned device, instead of a smaller partition. I guess my question is whether space is actually dynamically allocated to a vdisk in this situation, or will a single vdisk take the whole 250G to itself and prevent any other vdisks from being assigned to that drive?
