@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.

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?
-
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.

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?
-
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?
-
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.

I had this issue since the upgrade to 6.12. I tried everything. unRAID would lock up every 1-3 days. It eventually resulted in database corruption in my containers. The only thing which solved it is changing the cache drives from BTRFS to ZFS.
You and at least a few dozen others. I am one of them.
-
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.

This appears to happen to many people especially if a browser window is kept open. See:

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?

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.

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. . . Icons downloaded previously. icons synced Clear all icons not set......continuing. . . Icons downloaded previously. icons synced Clear all icons not set......continuing. . .

Thanks, I added the memory and all looks well. I didn't bother with a memtest for now.
-
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.
-
Thanks, I have considered that but I find it slightly annoying that the ethernet ports on the UXG-Lite are 1Gig. That would be fine for me for now, but I would prefer faster to futureproof.
-
Sorry, I was using the wrong terminology. The current setting is Cache->Array. I did that to clear off my cache disk to reformat it, and did the same with other shares like appdata, system, etc. But I guess I forgot to change the setting back to Array->Cache for the domains share.
-
I have two 500GB NVME SSDs in a mirrored ZFS pool for my cache and several 4GB or larger spinning hard drives in my array. I would think that the NVME would be faster.
-
I have two VMs - Ubuntu and Win11. A few weeks ago I had mover move the files off my cache to the pool to reformat my cache drive to ZFS and add a second disk to the pool in a mirrored configuration.
I just noticed that my domains share is mainly in the pool - when I look at the config for the domains share I forgot to change the mover action back to Pool->Cache, it is at Cache->Pool. But my VMs seem to be working ok and don't seem to be much slower, although I haven't used them a lot.
I tried googling and don't see a clear answer - what is the reason to have domains on cache? Is it because a VM will run a lot faster on my cache which is a NVME disk, compared to the pool which are regular hard drives?
-
On a related note - Ubiquiti had a security "event" yesterday where users who logged into the cloud for their network controller or NVR were seeing video and or able to config the networks of other users.
That certainly gives one more incentive to keep running the controller locally rather than through the cloud.

What's the difference in building unRAID docker images vs images for other platforms? And what other platforms use dockers? Plain vanilla Linux OSes like Ubuntu? I know that you can now use Docker under Windows, but that seems to have a bunch of limitations.

I did another one a little earlier in this thread that may be more to your liking but honestly, I don’t think LSIO really cares much about unRAID users anymore (JUST MY GUESS) and I recommend switching to unifi-controller-reborn. IMHO it’s much easier to install and setup.
What is LSIO? I have never heard of them, other than for building unRAID dockers and I had no idea that they did anything other than build dockers for unRAID.

Yeah, but I'm just regurgitating the information and at least proved some documentation
I didn't mean any offense, and I appreciate your help. But it just looks a bit painful compared to today where pretty much all you need to do is click on the docker that you want to install.
-
I have been using unRAID for over five years and I don't mind getting my hands dirty but when I look at bmartino1's post here it looks as gross AF! Maybe it is not as bad as it looks, but it is going to scare a lot of people away.

We all agree, but the post you are quoting is from six months ago - do we even know if Limetech is addressing it? There have been several new releases of unRAID since then.
