Prior to upgrading to ver 6.7 I used to be able to browse to my server from my LG smart TV. For some reason it no longer shows up. If I remember correctly the unraid server would show up as DLNA Un-raid. Any suggestions? Thanks. Update: It appears that DLNA was disabled in Plex not sure how that happened. In the meantime I also found minDLNA which I have installed and that seems to be working.

I'm a new user. I have a system set up with a Cache, Parity and 2 Data Disks. I've setup a few User shares. When I look at the utilization of the Data Disks I see 33% Disk 1 and 0% Disk 2. I thought that UnRaid would split the data storage between the 2 data disks but it seems to be using only one of the data disks???

Oh boy I feel like a GOOF! Setup is fine as Squid said just needed to confirm the folder selection by clicking on the check mark.

Shares are OK. I removed Sonarr and deleted the appdata and re-installed. But same problem the path to the media folder is not getting configured.

No I don't see it so I'm going to try to remove Sonarr and delete appdata and re-install, hopefully that will work. Thanks for your help!

So I renamed the directories to remove the caps. The run command is below. But it still isn't working? root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='binhex-sonarr' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e 'UMASK'='000' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -p '8989:8989/tcp' -p '9897:9897/tcp' -v '/mnt/user/Downloads/':'/data':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/media/tvshows/':'/media':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-sonarr':'/config':'rw' 'binhex/arch-sonarr' 0cbbc8817ef0efad0d306907674a80585bc736c723cb61fb9be1895457fc547d

Where do I find the Run command? Sorry

Hi I'm trying to Add A New series. The Path drop down box does not show the default path I specified /mnt/user/media/tvshows for media files. Not sure what to try next? Thanks

I'm running it in a terminal window. I'm not sure what 'inside screen' means, sorry?

Another question badblocks takes a long time to run. If I start it running and I log out is there a way to check the result the next time I log in?

Thanks S80_UK that fixed it!

I've assigned a HDD as drive 1 and tried to run badblocks but get the following: Last login: Sun Apr 8 17:20:04 -0400 2018 on /dev/pts/0. root@unRAID-NAS:~# badblocks -wvs /dev/sd1 badblocks: No such file or directory while trying to determine device size root@unRAID-NAS:~# I'm doing this before I started the array??

Good news! Tried it again and I've been able to connect. Thanks for the quick response John_M

I'm trying to setup a new system but I'm stuck and don't know what to try next. I used the USB Creator for Windows - everything was left as default except I checked the 'Allow EFI Boot' box. System boots to the USB and unRAID installs and runs through to the point where it gives me an IP address. When I try to access that IP address from another PC its not found. The unRAID PC is connected via Ethernet cable to router. Green light at router and orange light on PC ethernet. Motherboard is a Asus Z87-A Any suggestions what to try next?

Thank you John_M for your time. I'm going to also get a SSD for the cache after looking into the pros of this. Cheers!

Thank you for the replies. John_M if I run badblocks and badblocks are found are their locations recorded so they are not used in the future. Sorry if my terminology is not correct. You also mention that if the SMART report looks good you're happy. How do I judge if the report is acceptable? I'm going to be using 4 WD Red HDDs - Cache, Parity and 2 Data I'm hoping I can pre-test the HDDs to identify and exclude any bad sectors from use. I realize that HDDs degrade overtime so I would expect having to run a SMART test on a regular basis.

I'm a new user and about to build my first NAS. Is it recommended to test the HDDs before installing unRAID and if so what is the best way to go about this? I'm using WD Red HDDs. Thanks

I'm interested in setting up a system to store backups from my home PCs and to also serve as a KODI box. I realize that ideally the NAS for backups should be a standalone unit. I'd like to run Kodi under Windows. The home PCs that I would backup are running Windows 7 and 10. If anyone can give me their opinion I would appreciate it. Is what I want to do a mistake? If not can this be done in a reasonably straightforward manner, I'm not an expert but I can do the basics. Is there a better solution? Thanks
