  1. @tivodoctor - You might want to look into getting an HD HomeRun tuner. I have a couple of these and they work fine in both Plex and Jellyfin. For the most part I use this with SageTV which is kind of dead now but it was, by far, the best software for recording TV and supported tons of tuners and tuning devices, like IR blasters, etc. You can get used devices pretty cheap on ebay. Sometimes the wall warts die so you may need to replace a power supply. edit - One more good thing about HD Homerun devices is that they are network devices with ethernet connections. So you don't plug them in to your PC and you don't have to worry about drivers and passthroughs in a docker/VM. And you can share them with multiple PCs or other devices.
  2. This docker seems to have updates available on a very regular basis, like every week or so. But I believe that this is a relatively small and simple docker, there is no UI, it just updates your dynamic IP and writes to the log. So why are there so many updates to this docker?
  3. I think your first question is more of a generic Handbrake question and doesn't relate to the docker. There are probably other places that are WAY better to answer that question.
  4. Thanks. One of my main uses of unRAID is as a media server which will be accessing lots of metadata and Fanart files. Is there more documentation around pros and cons of various disk formats? Like what format should you use for your cache disk? BTRFS, ZFS, XFS? What are the pros and cons of each?
  5. No one has any thoughts on this? Is there any reason why you can't set the ZFS cache size in the unRAID GUI? Is it because it can only be resized on a reboot? Or it is a new feature an just hasn't yet been implemented?
  6. It seems like unRAID uses 1/8 of your RAM as the size of the cache for ZFS disks. You can change this, but not currently through the GUI - you add a config file. Has anyone done research into determining the optimal cache size? I recently increased my server RAM from 32GB to 64TB and my ZFS cache size went up to 8GB. But I rarely use all of my RAM. Should I increase the ZFS cache size? In what instances does it make sense to have a larger or smaller cache size? I did search but didn't seem any documentation on this. There is a thread that is 1.5 years ago, but it is unclear to me whether this all applies as this predates unRAID official support for ZFS.
  7. You and at least a few dozen others. I am one of them.
  8. At least a few dozen people have had issues with BTRFS corruption on their cache driver under 6.12. I solved my problem by reformatting the cache drive to ZFS.
  9. This appears to happen to many people especially if a browser window is kept open. See:
  10. I have this problem cropping up on a regular basis. It seems like it may occur when there are stale browsers open, but is that the expected behvaiour? In other words, is this a bug or a feature? And if it is a bug, which it appears to be, is it being addressed?
  11. There is talk in this thread about the "official" Jellyfin docker. Where is that? When I look in apps in unRAID I see the binhex, linuxserver, and hotio dockers. But I don't see an official one.
  12. Is this docker supposed to stop itself? I am using it, and it seems to be working ok as I am using custom icons on a couple of VMs. But I noticed that the docker was stopped, so I restarted it. But then after a few minutes it was stopped again. Here is the log: Cloning into 'unraid_vm_icons'... Clear all icons not set......continuing. created directory: '/config/icons' I have created the icon store directory & now will start downloading selected icons . . icons downloaded icons synced Clear all icons not set......continuing. . .

  13. Thanks, I added the memory and all looks well. I didn't bother with a memtest for now.
  14. My server currently has 2x16GB. I am adding two more of the same memory sticks. I don't have to do anything in unRAID, do I? It's just a case of shutting down the system, installing the sticks, and starting back up, is it not? The reason that I am doing this is that I am running more VMs and that is starting to use up all of my RAM.
