My Unifi Controller just fell over for the first time. It just dropped off from the mobile app (I was using it at the time). If I restart the docker and login, the dashboard comes up, but then if I click anything it's just a spinny circle and nothing happens. It's v6.0.43 I've never had this happen before, but reading the thread most people say that v6 is trash at the moment. Is this, then, par for the course? I installed swag and setup a reverse proxy with my own domain for Nextcloud two days ago, which means I have now opened up ports 80 and 443 on my router, and am feeling particularly jumpy about that. Am I being paranoid associating the two? Like, have I opened up my server to script kiddies now? Or is swag and Docker secure enough that I don't really have to worry (ie my controller falling over for the first time is just a coincidence)? If it is just the Docker, in terms of a fix, is there a 'clear cache and restart' equivalent I can do to it? It's been rock solid for years now - never had it crash before. I don't know what has happened to have it so reliably die on me after every restart. And if I decide to downgrade to v5, do I have to nuke the whole install and start over? Thanks for your help (and reassurance haha).

Thanks for the update, @dlandon Can confirm that it fixes the slow scan issue, with 'look for new and changed music' dropping from 13 minutes to a much more reasonable 3 minutes.

My scanner is taking a long time to scan, even with "Look for new media and files" rather than "clear & rescan" I think it was a bug introduced in a recent build. The bug has been fixed as of 25th Sept, as per: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112920-Scan-taking-hours-instead-of-minutes-on-recent-nightlies/page7 @dlandoncan you update the build included in the Docker? Many thanks!

Possibly. No harm in shutting it down for a day and seeing if the problem stops, I guess.

Super weird that other SB devices are working. Maybe try a xlinix reset/factory reset of the radios? I can't find how to do it for radios, but this is for SB3s and may be similar: https://joes-tech-blog.blogspot.com/2018/11/logitech-slimdevices-squeezebox-classic.html Also: do you use mysqueezebox.com (or whatever the online thing is)? I've disabled mine. May be worth seeing if that's causing any problems, too.

Looks like you're on a different version to me (I'm on 6.0.22), but my memory now recollects that that is _exactly_ the option that I had to allow (as in, allowing multicasting by un-checking that option) to get my Squeezebox to work properly: they rely on multicasting to work. I think the warning about proper controls is really only problematic in corporate networks where traffic is plentiful. I've had no problems. So, if multicasting was already allowed on your network, then my advice isn't related to your problem.

My money is on the AP blocking multicast. I *think* I had to fiddle with a setting on my Ubiquiti AP to have my Squeezeboxes work properly (no radios, just a boom and a SB3 on wifi). Do you have the Unifi Controller Docker (or similar) to take a look at your settings? If it's any help, here's a screenshot of mine (from Settings > WiFi > [SSID] > Edit > Advanced):

+1 desire unit (I'm not the demanding type 😛).

Now that this is fixed in v2.6+, how do I delete the erroneous test results from my result history? Do I have to purge everything, or can I just delete the erroneous ones? Thanks.

So, after recently getting back on the Spotify bandwagon, I installed the 'Spotty' Spotify plugin (after upgrading to v8, but that's unrelated), and even without the 'Online Music Library Integration' (which I actually later disabled, as my Spotify account is too messy to invite into my neat home library), Spotify support in LMS is actually really good! The last time I used the Spotify plugin, it didn't support appearing as a player in the Spotify app, which is a total drag - but now it does! Better yet, it also adds an 'On Spotify' album to every artist, which makes it a total breeze to play or enqueue a new album by an artist you already have in your collection. You can also browse your Spotify library through the plugin (without having to integrate it into your existing library/playlists), so it feels like a total solution. So much so that I now have no interest in the 'Online music library integration' that made me upgrade to v8 in the first place. I just love how LMS keeps on being amazing, even though it's been officially deprecated for a decade (or more?) now!

Ok. Updated, installed the Online Libraries plugin, as well as the dev build of the Spotty plugin, and it's working! At least sometimes. Syncing seems to be a bit dodgy. And hoooo boy do I have to clean up my Spotify playlist library now. There's also a lot of duplicate albums for those I have added in Spotify even though I have a copy in my LMS library. Still: pretty neat!

@dlandonany chance this can get an upgrade to 8.0.0? I'm keen to try out the online music service integration: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/8.0/Changelog8.html I'm sure this feature will be of interest to others in this thread, too (particularly those that have come from Sonos) I do note, however that v8 is still in development, so maybe even as a separate build until it's stable? Thanks so much! EDIT: bit more info on v8: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111600-Version-8-0-ready-to-test

Just re-ran the tests on v2.6 Much better results! I didn't receive the speed gap warning, either. Thanks for the help.

Upgraded to v2.5 this morning and thought I'd re-run the benchmarks. Was receiving 'speed gap' notification, so I aborted, disabled all dockers and re-ran. Still got the 'speed gap' notification, so I aborted, and re-ran with the 'disable speed gap detection' option checked. The final results page looks vastly different to the last time I ran it, however, going back to the main page, the curves look just as before (almost as if the main page didn't update to the latest results - even after I Ctrl+R refreshed the page). Please see attached. So: is it something I should be worried about? I haven't received any notification from Unraid that anything is wrong with SMART, but should I do something to confirm that my disks (or controller?) are ok? Thanks for your help. EDIT: I just ran the controller benchmark, which showed erratic results, and as per the recommendation I restarted the Docker and ran it again: same erratic results (although I think the disks with low speeds were different this time). Attached is a screenshot.

Odd. I'm backing up almost 3TB. Maybe you have more files than me, though (>2TB of my backup is FLAC audio from my CD rips). Still, with 128GB RAM, I guess it's no problem to have it higher than mine (only 16GB RAM).

I think it's coz they're cheap. Serious question, though: what's a good alternative? I've been thinking of chucking in the towel, but haven't found anything even close in price.

Don't know how, don't know why, but as of this morning, it's fixed itself. Maybe this has something to do with me raising a ticket with CrashPlan support yesterday? I don't know.

I'd recommend a different service for that much data - they're not really unlimited, and may end up booting you off the service for a backup that large. https://www.reddit.com/r/Crashplan/comments/ezuztk/warning_unlimited_not_really_unlimited/

My bad: I was thinking it was different to the option you'd changed, but it's actually the same thing. Sorry 'bout that.

https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/6/Troubleshooting/Adjust_Code42_app_settings_for_memory_usage_with_large_backups Have you tried this?

Thanks for replying, tcharron. My dashboard says 2.4TB used. If I click on Devices > my server (the only device under 'Active'), it shows as 2.4TB stored. But if I click on the entry for my server, it says under 'Selected' that there's only 212GB. I don't know what 'selected' means, but it's clearly got something to do with this. If I click on the 'Backup' tab on that same page, it appears that all my folders are indeed present (at least the top level ones - I can't drill down in this UI). In Devices > 'Deactivated' there is one other device, but I'm pretty sure it's just my old backup from before they made everyone switch to a 'pro' account. And it's 0MB anyhow.

Bump. Anyone?

I rebooted my network equipment and server this morning, and thought I'd just check that everything came back up happy, and upon entering CrashPlan, found that it thinks I only have 228GB of backups - but I actually have about 3TB. You can see what I mean in the attached screenshots: 1 showing the main screen with only 228.4GB backed up and the other showing the preferences > destinations size of using 3TB. I fairly frequently open the CrashPlan UI to check on it, so this has only happened either in the last few days, or since my server reboot. I restarted the Docker to see if it fixed anything, but it remains the same. As you can see from the main screenshot, no maintenance is currently being performed. I went through the file list (under the manage files button), and all major folders appear in there as backed up. Does anybody know what's happening? Or is this something I should email CrashPlan about? Thanks for your help.

Install the Unraid Tips & Tweaks plugin from Community Applications. Then go to Settings (in Unraid, not Crashplan Docker) > Tips and Tweaks. There will be an option in there to increase inotify. Setting it depends on your system, but I have 16GB RAM and have it set to 1048576 which seems fine. (although I have had a weird thing happen this morning, see my upcoming post below).

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to rename the digital inputs on my Transporter. I found these instructions: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?54831-Labelling-transporter-digital-inputs-possible Which says to create a custom-strings.txt file in the same directory as strings.txt So thought I'd open a terminal window and try and find that strings.txt file, but can't find it anywhere. The post suggested Slim/Plugin/DigitalInput/strings.txt But there is no Slim directory Any logitechmediaserver directory I've found doesn't contain Plugin, or if it does, doesn't contain DigitalInput (or strings.txt). Any idea where it is? Or is this method no longer applicable? Thanks for your help! EDIT: I should note that the 'plugins' directory found in my appdata folder (\\PERCY\appdata\LogitechMediaServer\cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins) contains my third party plugins, which all have strings.txt files in their dirs, but there is no dir for the DigitalInput plugin (which is a Logitech plugin). I also checked the plugins directorys mentioned in the settings > advanced page in the UI: /config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins, /usr/sbin/Plugins, /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Plugins
