@nug I was finally able to get key-based SSH to work with Guacamole with help from this Reddit thread: The key was the comment to use the old key format by running the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -m PEM After doing that and adding the public key to the remote host, I was able to connect successfully.

Did you ever get key-based authentication to work? I'm running into the same issue currently. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm back to try to figure out my Unmanic audio weirdness. I'm not sure what's happening, but the screenshots attached show my audio tracks before transcoding (blu-ray rip in VLC) and after Unmanic. You can see that one shows the 5.1 channels as expected (rip), whereas the Unmanic encode shows everything as AAC Stereo. I have Unmanic set to process audio files, but it says it's supposed to keep all the audio channels, re-encoding as AAC, and only create a 2 channel track if one doesn't already exist, so I'm not sure why all my audio tracks are being converted to stereo. I can't imagine I'm the only one running into this. Is everyone else just turning off audio transcoding? Thanks

I would assume the same, if you're able to run the MacInABox VM in the first place, I'd think virtualization would have to be enabled. Is it possible to run this without virtualization? Maybe someone who knows more about this stuff than I do can correct me.

Hi, Has anyone succeeded in passing a 5700 XT through to the MacInABox VM? It works great when I run it with VNC, but when I pass through my graphics card I get the Clover screen, then it glitches out when it shows the Apple boot screen and I never get a desktop. I've tried tweaking some options in Clover, but so far no luck. Any assistance would be appreciated if anyone has gotten this working. Thank you

That's what I've heard as well, but I honestly don't notice a difference. It's entirely possible that CPU encoding may result in a higher video quality at a smaller file size, but I have hundreds of DVDs and blu-rays I'm ripping, so I'd rather have faster encoding speeds if it means a negligible quality difference. I need to do a side-by-side comparison of a standard DVD, but the blu-rays I really can't see a difference. Someday, when I get my Threadripper 3990x processor after winning the lottery, then I'll re-encode everything with CPU only.

So after my Unmanic vs Tdarr testing, I've decided to use Tdarr for now. I like the simplicity of Unmanic, but Tdarr supports NVENC, so my encodes there are much faster. Initially I was using Unmanic because the resulting files were significantly smaller than Tdarr's output, but that was until I realized Unmanic was clobbering my audio. Once I disabled the audio transcoding in Unmanic the file sizes between the two were about the same. Besides the faster GPU encoding, I like the control Tdarr gives me through the use of plugins. It was more difficult to get set up and figure out the workflow and what plugins I wanted to use, but now that I've gone through that it seems to be working pretty well.

Do you just set all of these to false in your config? "ENABLE_AUDIO_ENCODING": true, "ENABLE_AUDIO_STREAM_STEREO_CLONING": true, "ENABLE_AUDIO_STREAM_TRANSCODING": true,

So I'm continuing my comparison between Unmanic and Tdarr and am now looking at Unmanic's audio re-encoding. I'm wondering, besides file size, what advantage is there of re-encoding all the audio tracks as 2-channel AAC? It seems to me this would be fine if you're mostly watching your movies on your phone, or through your TV speakers, but if you have any halfway decent home audio setup that you'd want to keep the discrete audio channels. Am I missing something here? Is there some magic that Unmanic is performing that reduces the audio track size while still maintaining quality? Thanks in advance!

Ah, yeah, thanks, I hadn't even thought of checking the process in the container. I did notice that the plugin I'm using with Tdarr is encoding to 10-bit, that's the only difference I've noticed from looking at the processed files so far.

Does anyone here happen to know the exact ffmpeg options Unmanic uses to perform its magic? I've been running tests between Unmanic and Tdarr and Unmanic outputs significantly smaller file sizes. I'd like to make sure I'm doing a one-to-one comparison with the same options between the two. Thanks!

I have 48 but would like to upgrade to 64 eventually

Quick update now that my transcodes have been running for over 12 hours on the ram disk... I'm still having some failures, but significantly fewer than before. Right now all the files I'm transcoding are files that had previously failed and most are working.

Hi everyone, I noticed some other people in this thread reporting seeing failures in transcoding. I was seeing the same thing, a large number of files transcoded without issue, but a large number also failed. I recently switched my encoding cache directory to /dev/shm (ram disk) and now the files that were previously failing are transcoding successfully. I'll have to let it run for a while longer to confirm things don't start failing again, but so far it's looking good. Thought I'd post this in case it might help someone else. -Vince

Thanks for the reply, but I'm having an issue with this configuration as well. When I set the output subdirectory to SAME_AS_SRC, HandBrake seems to eat my mp4 file: [autovideoconverter] Change detected in watch folder '/watch'. [autovideoconverter] Processing watch folder '/watch'... [autovideoconverter] Waiting 5 seconds before processing '/watch/THE_BABY-aFoEAg/title00.mkv'...

I end up with an empty folder in the output directory. Aside from this, I also have a problem when changing the converter preset. When I set it to HQ 1080p30 Surround the container won't even start up properly. I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. I'd love to get this working correctly. Thanks again, Vince
