In the last couple of weeks I've moved the old Fire TV gen1s that are on the secondary TVs in the bedrooms back to Plex away from Kodi, as either my Kodi database was getting too big or the infrequent use meant they were too 'laggy' trying to update database, thumbnails etc whenever they were turned on. Plex is working well there. For the TVs downstairs where I need passthrough support, Kodi is much better - audio problems I was having with Plex for years is what drove me back to Kodi after being away for 12 years. I also have family using my remote Plex and a few friends. I tried TVHProxy last month and wasn't keen on the lack of guide for liveTV. What I've done for my FireTVs is install SPMC alongside Plex just for live TV. To be honest, my family doesn't watch much live TV upstairs so they haven't even noticed yet - upstairs is where all my old kit has ended up after upgrading the real TVs downstairs. I've recently turned off my pfsense VM as I'll need the last pcie slot next month when my server hits its current capacity, so I thought I might as well move early. I'm struggling to justify paying £300 for a dedicated box (and associated running & support costs) for effectively squid and a bit more firewall control as I've met my VPN needs with dockers+privoxy and VPN clients for the occasional times I want to connect a PC or a Kodi box; I can do ad blocking via my browsers, I traffic manage by scheduling my download clients as even with a slow connection (19/1) we have enough bandwidth etc etc. As a VM it was a no-brainer as the nic card only cost my £60, but £300 is a bit much. What's the spec of your pfsense box? If I can find a cheaper way to build a pfsense box e.g. cheaper hardware or 2nd hand kit as I can do my heavy VPN traffic through dockers, then I might build one. I've ditched the idea of changing my mobo to get more slots for future storage and space for my nic as I've got space on my mobo for 1 more drive, I can add another 4 internally and 4 externally - 9 more data drives on top of my current 5 should be more than enough! So, if I'm going to return to pfsense it'll have to be via a dedicated box

grr I removed my pfsense VM last week and went back to my ISPs router, so this is why I can't connect anymore. It works in a VPN so it's definitely my router - will contact my ISP. Thanks

It just gets stuck saying 'sending request' at the bottom of my chrome tab with nothing seeming to happen Edit: Timed out eventually This site can’t be reached The webpage at ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/data/fullexport/20171007-001758/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

thanks. the controllable items make sense and I can address those. The constant python errors I'm not sure about - could be old SabNZBD errors as I switched to nzbGet about a month ago and I agree, it's so much faster and has features I really need like being able to search by category.

thanks for persevering! I'm using the official docker - https://hub.docker.com/r/homeassistant/home-assistant/

getting the var/log error again - still not sure why. Help please highlander-diagnostics-20171006-1527.zip

What I'm trying to achieve is in my original post - I've copied a file configurator.py to my appdata folder which is supposed to add new functionality to the home-assistant docker. If running it is a bad idea, I'll leave it alone. Using Unraid is my only real experience of running Linux (I've worked in the internet space for nearly 20 years, but I run products & P&Ls and don't code at all for a living) so this is all new to me. configurator.py

all my three folders are empty - dbase, import and redis

I don't think it's in the docker container - the configurator.py file is in the appdata folder. I've just tried the following and it still doesn't work: root@Highlander:/mnt/user/appdata/home-assistant# python ./configurator.py File "./configurator.py", line 1 !/usr/bin/python ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

sorry, thought I had!

it's not downloading anything. When it does work I know it's best to leave it alone to download the database - I know this because after a couple of days (I'm assuming when it's doing an update) it usually starts generating errors. Normally I just do a fresh install and it works, but this time for over a week I haven't been able to get it to install. Here's a fresh log from an install until the error: ErrorWarningSystemArrayLogin [s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc...exited 0.

no

thanks - I gave up using the forum search engine (sucks) and even tried google to search the forum

Thanks - so a thumbs up from you then!

I'm bumping up my Parity to 8TB soon and then future array drives will also be 8TB. Any thoughts on Seagate Archive V2 ST8000AS0002? Will these be ok as (i) parity and (ii) array drives? There's something about the term 'archive' that makes me worry about these drives i.e. that they are just for archiving and not for accessing movies, tv shows, potentially supporting multiple streams etc Thanks

Not sure if I'm doing this right: root@Highlander:~# docker exec -it home-assistant /bin/bash ‘configurator.py’ /bin/bash: ‘configurator.py’: No such file or directory root@Highlander:~# docker exec -it home-assistant /bin/bash -c 'configurator.py' /bin/bash: configurator.py: command not found root@Highlander:~# docker exec -it home-assistant /bin/bash 'configurator.py' /bin/bash: configurator.py: No such file or directory root@Highlander:~# docker exec -it home-assistant /bin/bash root@Highlander:/usr/src/app# sudo configurator.py bash: sudo: command not found root@Highlander:/usr/src/app# configurator.py bash: configurator.py: command not found root@Highlander:/usr/src/app# ./configurator.py bash: ./configurator.py: No such file or directory root@Highlander:/usr/src/app#

Ditto - I'm getting this problem as well

thanks - will try that to see if I get more stability. I still had problems when I used a separate share, but maybe those issues are resolved now

Yes. I used to have a musicbrainz cache only share that I used, but I went this way in the hope that my appdata backups would speed up restoration

yes, my /data is mapped to /mnt/cache/appdata/musicbrainz/database

hmm still can't get it to work. I'm parking for now

The docker safe permissions tool now and then, not the the other one.

my tuner isn't supported yet, but I'll have a play with it if support is added as the DVR is better than Kodi where you just get the 'guide' and no recommendations etc

My installation has gone again. This normally happens once a week or so and I'd just reinstall, but now i'm getting a constant error: FATAL: data directory "/data/dbase" has group or world access DETAIL: Permissions should be u=rwx (0700). LOG: skipping missing configuration file "/data/dbase/postgresql.auto.conf"

Downloading to my cache is nice from a noise perspective (assuming the mover is working when I'm AFK), but I download direct to my array as they have to go there anyway and to reduce wear on my SSD. When I'm lucky enough to have a broadband connection that means I need my SSD speeds for downloads, I'll happily do this! Any drive I buy now will definitely be 8TB and upwards - last year I was buying 6TB drives. Part of my upgrade planning is replacing my older drives as they fail with larget capacities e.g. the 2TB I've had for over 6 years, so it's probably going to die one day soon. I can get one more HDD in without removing any current drives, and I've got space for 5 more in the case if I put a 3x3.5" enclosure into the 2x5.25" bays and a PCIe Sata card taking me up to 62TB with 8TB drives. If I need more storage beyond that, the plan is get an eSATA card for 4 external drives taking me up to 94TB from without replacing the smaller drives, so that'll keep me going for a few more years! I might give this another look, as the SQL setup does take a bit of effort. It might confuse my family a bit though having to switch between an addon and going back to Kodi for live TV - if it wasn't for the Kodi PVR, I'd probably just move them onto Plex as I agree it's a lot easier to manage and I do this with my FireTVs gen 1s that are too low-powered to work with Kodi properly
