[[Support] binhex - Plex]

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?

[Random Server Crashes]

@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.

[Random Server Crashes]

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!

Got it. Thanks for the info!

[Update to nerd tools for mcelog?]

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?

[[Support] Linuxserver.io - Radarr]

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.

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.

Start by running memetes, if no errors boot in safe mode and leave all the dockers/VMs off, if stable for a couple of days like that start enabling them one by one.

I assume you mean memtest86? Boot from USB?

[UNRAID System Becomes Unresponsive Within Hours [SOLVED]]

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.

[Best OpenVPN client for Unraid]

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. 

[Best OpenVPN client for Unraid]

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.

[OpenVPN Server & Client for unRAID 6.2+ (6.1 are still supported)]

@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.

[Multiple VMs, 1 PCIe NIC? [SOLVED]]

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.

[Multiple VMs, 1 PCIe NIC? [SOLVED]]

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.

I just had to swap a drive on unRAID and am seeing a weird issue with Plex. I am running the latest unRAID and PLEX docker. 

 

I typically use a Shield TV Client but am seeing the issue on web browsers and Plex Media player too. 

 

A small number of TV shows will no longer play - when I start them - they just spin - nothing plays. 

 

The same shows play fine on KODI. 

 

Any ideas on what could be wrong or how I can debug to narrow down the issue? Thanks!

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.

After running plexmediaserver for about two years it now recently started to stutter a lot when showing movies. I use my plex app on my samsung tv to watch the movies. After I turn on a movie it takes about 2 sek and it start to flicker and stutter. I have no idea what is wrong. I do not know a lot about this so I just installed the docker, mapped the movie directory and everything have been going great after that.

I have made no changes before the stuttering started.

I have tried direct play, direct streaming and transcode. Nothing changes. I have manually tried to set the buffer size but makes no difference. 

 

As mentioned I have not changed any settings before this happen. Have there been any updates that has caused some issues regarding the transfer that I have not seen?

 

Please help. My plex server is useless at the moment:(

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.

[[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server]

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.

No, what you are doing is giving the entire unpartitioned drive to the VM. You need to format the disk and mount it so it has a path in /mnt/disks, then you can assign whatever size vdisk you want and point it at /mnt/disks/mountpoint/VM/vdisk1.img. Assuming you use a format type for the device that supports sparse files, the actual space occupied by the vdisk will only be what the VM actually allocates, however it will appear to be whatever size you tell it. You could tell it to put 4 200GB vdisks in 250GB of space, and it will work until any combination of VM's tried to use more than 250GB total and caused one or more vdisk files to become corrupt.

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.

Simplest method for you is probably going to be formatting the drive using the destructive mode of UD and using the space for as many vdisk files as you wish.

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?

Hey, just curious on how people are setting up their VM's in regard to the image files.

 

I currently have two SSD's out of my array, mounted with SNAP, and I have one VM per SSD.  Is anyone running multiple VM's off of a single SSD? How is the performance?  Is anyone running VM's off of their array?  I would think this would be a major degradation in performance with having to keep parity, and obviously, working off HDD since SSD's aren't supported in the array yet..

Im pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to host multiple VMs on a single unassigned SSD. Each time I try to create a VM, it wants to use the entire disk, leaving nothing available for other VMs. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
