  1. I back up my flash manually every Sunday (while searching to make sure this wasn't posted I came across @Cpt. Chaz script - and will be trying in the future).  For the last 60+ weeks the zip has consistently been ~570mb.  I have made no material changes to the server (boot, plugins, config) and yet on my most recent backup the size was ~450mb.  The size has been consistent across OS ver (6.7.x - 6.9.1), so I am curious as to why it has shrunk 120mb.  Should I be concerned?

     

    Thanks!

    What is the path of the Homebridge Logs within the container?  Does not seem to be /var/log which is what i thought was standard..??..

    Did you get this sorted.  I am trying to get log access.  I found a 0byte file /mnt/user/disk/appdata/homebridge/log.txt but nothing obviously written to it?

  3. Just an FYI, I too am having one of my GPUs "falling offline" (2070 super).  

     

    It does not affect performance (to the best of my knowledge), when I use in VM for gaming... or in Plex transcoding - just spams the log when idling.

     

    The other GPU is an rx570 used for acceleration in a hackintosh.  

     

    Cheers.

     

     

    EDIT:  on 6.8.3

    Did you get it to work? I am facing the same issue and cannot get my GPU to passthrough on MacOS. I updated the kext, so this doesn't seem the issue.

    YES!

     

    I had to pass through the vBIOS - (check techpowerup for your card)...

     

    So this is where we slam the disclaimer:  the vBIOS that worked for me was NOT the actual one for my card, but a similar one.  I tried a few before I could get it to boot

    I noticed the same thing, and tried the same.  Aside from the above error message, I also noticed this in the installation log:

    I will assume that in my case the  Nerd Tools package upgraded some pre-requisites to a version higher than the script likes.
     

    I am getting the same log spamming, on multiple operations.

    Im unware of seeing these earlier, now for the past few days I´ve been noticing them occur semi-frequently. It doesnt appear to affect the general function of the server in any way that atleast I can notice. I'm curious though if these errors are something I should pay heed to or if I can safely ignore them?

    Unraid is: Version: 6.8.3

    Did you ever get any clarity on this?

    may really take a look at client, when u playback on this tv, does it still direct play or does plex transcode ?

     

    as soon transcode is involved hdr will be ... try some settings on your tv plex client, like allow/force direct play etc etc ...

    I tried.  Something is borked on the client side for sure. XPlay plays the same content on client in HDR (though playback is choppy - something is definitely going on with how stream is rendered on this TV)

    Yes. Plex will download it again when you restart the container.

    Unfortunately that did not help.  I removed the container, reinstalled 6.8.3, reinstalled the container and configured fresh (my setting did not carry over - but I had them exported) and the problem still persists.

     

    HOWEVER I have the same model TV upstairs and it does not have this issue.  Further, no other clients accessing the server have playback issues.  It seems like it isolated to this particular client.  I reinstalled the plex webOS app... but still no joy.  Really odd.

  9. Has anyone else noticed that on latest update *.2740 their HDR content is no longer playing?  I have an LG C7p and have been streaming HDR without issue.  No, the movies start - but do not trigger HDR.

     

    Oddly, I have the unRAID library mirrored on a Mac mini, and the PMS serves the HDR content just fine to the C7p/

  10. I am perplexed

     

    Everytime I restart the container, the same 17 (out of 310) torrents are force rechecked, and, then set to complete rather than actively seeding.

     

    I assume the FastResume data is corrupted.

     

    Is there anything I can do so that these torrents just begin seeding upon container restart?

    I agree with Hoopster, mine was pegged out even though I had the usage level set to 70%. perhaps the load leveling doesn't work well, especially with other processes (Plex, SABnzbd, PiHole, etc.) Though the other BOINC container works fine and I'm able to manage the alternative choice from a different server using your the RDP-BOINC container..

    Load leveling does not determine the amount of CPU usage, but rather instruction frequency.

     

    The two percentages adjust load cycle (70% = 2.8s work, 1.2s rest wash rinse repeat), and core allocation (70% = 7 of 10 threads utilized).  At least from how I understood the manager instructions

    I have High Sierra running fine from this Docker with Splash Top Desktop, no issues.

    Could anyone point me in the direction of the steps to passthrough a GPU/Audio (GTX 1070) and a USB mouse/Keyboard?

    I'm seeing mentions of Opencore/Clover not sure what is the prefferred/correct method.

    Mouse and keyboard can be done through the template (peripherals on the USB bus show up on the bottom with tick boxes).  Regarding the gtx - I am not certain, but you need a VGA BIOS (check tech power ups library for your card|mfg) & some kext insertions in clover (Lilu, whatevergreen).  I think Space has a video on his channel as well for GPU passthrough in macOS machine

     

    Edit: check this out

    sounds like its stuck in reset. Rebooting the server should get it back. Looks like you got bit by the AMD GPU reset bug.

    Hard reset does nothing.  I tweaked xml and can get the VM started now... but no signal.  I wonder if the card is blow... though I would imagine it wouldn't enumerate in system devices if that was the case.  Super bizarre (and frustrating)

     

    EDIT:  ~~Something is borked... now I started from scratch, and on first start... VNC just hangs.~~

     

    EDIT2:  ~~what would cause  a single VCPU to peg @ 100% and log to hang changing the state of the network adapter br0 ?~~

     

    EDIT3:  VNC viewer lets me hit the clover boot loader

     

    EDIT 4:  Dear Jackass (me):  K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid).  My 8pin was not seated all the way (I added a new 2070 a month+ ago, and hadn't fired up my macOS vm since).  Hence, enough power to announce, but not enough to enumerate.  I suck.  Sorry everyone.

     

    EDIT 5:  Back to square1.  All VMs using the Radeon are hanging at boot.  Got it to boot once after re-seating, but that's it.

     

    I am not sure why or how, but the BIOS of my card got nerfed.  After trying several revision of actual BIOS, I used some different Polaris BIOS and got one that worked.  For those of you using a Polaris 20 GPU - The Sapphire Nitro 580 4gb (2017.11.17) worked for my Pulse 570x.  

  14. Everything has been working fine... until today.

     

    I started the VM, and in unRAID it shows as started.  However no video signal and it seems the machine stays pegged at 100% on one core.

     

    I have been using it without problems (4 core, 16gb, 570x passed through with working sound)... and then just bupkus.  

     

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
