  1. True, when going through the unRIAD GUI, but there are times when I may want to go directly to the docker's web URL and/or need to remember ports for doing stuff like port forwarding.
  2. But I don't thing that changing the external port does anything when you use a network type of br0, does it?
  3. The reason to bother is that it is simpler to forget about ports all together which you can do when a docker uses the default port of 80 for its web UI. If I create a docker and give it an IP of 192.168.1.200 then I just need to type that address in a browser bar to get to it. I don't have to worry about a port. And if I use an entry in a hosts file (or whatever) then I can even use something like "sickrage" as my URL. But I can't do that when the docker insists on using port 6881 or whatever.
  4. Since we can now give dockers there own IP I want to do this and use the standard port 80 for web UIs. But with many dockers even if you change the network type to br0 and set an IP address you still can't change the docker's internal IP port so it can still use a funky port like 5800 (filebot), 8188 (sickrage), etc. Other dockers that use port 80 include apache, pihole, rutorrent. I understand why this was the case in the "old" world where you generally used the same IP for all dockers, but does this still have to be the case in the new world where we can have one docker per IP address?
  5. Ok, it is now downloading the .torrent files to my /appdata/sickrage folder. However sickrage is complaining that it is 14 commits behind and I just upgraded the docker about a day ago. Is this usual?
  6. Sickrage on any platform doesn't download anything. It tells another app (nzbget, deluge etc) to do the actual down load. All those apps are available in the apps tab Ok thanks - I use the linuxserver rutorrent docker. Is there a doc that describes how to configure that download method.
  7. No you don't have to install anything else. You have a configuration issue with your ports. I have it set up in a bit of a non-standard way but you can the way that I do it. Change network type to br0. Then you will have to set an IP address to an unused IP on your LAN and you may want to set it to an address that is outside of your DHCP range. I use 192.168.1.240. Then you can keep the port at 80 and it should work. But make sure that the IP address that you use is on the subnet that you are using for your LAN - this is usually 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X
  8. Newbie question as I am new to Sickrage. I have set up some shows and a few of them say "Snatched" but they don't appear to be downloaded. How does Sickrage download shows on unRAID? Does it have a built in torrent client? Do you have to do something to configure that? I have rutorrent running on my unRAID server and it works fine but I don't know what do to to get downloads working in Sickrage.
  9. I would prefer being able to use different IPs for dockers and stick with standard ports. IMHO it is easier to remember IP addresses then ports - so then you can just change the IP number and leave the port at 80 for web UIs. And you could even set up a hosts file to make things even easier. However it appears that things don't work the way that I want them to and that you can't configure the "docker side port" or however you call that.
  10. I am trying to use the docker but it is using the incorrect port. I want it to have its own IP address so I am using network type br0 and an IP address of 192.168.1.239. I have changed the web GUI port to 80, but the container seems to insist on using port 5800 on my specified IP of 192.168.1.239. I don't know where it got 5800 from as I don't see that port specified anywhere in the Docker settings.
  11. So there is even a third developer. How does Autotools work? Does it just add a line to the rtorrent.rc file or something like that? What I am getting at is that maybe there is an issue with the underlying rtorrent process for moving files upon completion of the torrent. Or maybe something changes and AutoTools was never updated to reflect the change.
  12. No fix that I have seen and do we know if the problem is with rtorrent or rutorrent? I don't think they have the same developers.
  13. I also experience issues with Automove not working on rutorrent, but for me it seems to work more often on unRAID then on ubuntu.
  14. This isn't utorrent, it is rtorrent/rutorrent but they are similar to utorrent. rtorrent is the back end rtorrent application and rutorrent is the web-based UI for rtorrent. You should be able to get to the UI by going to the unRAID Dashboard and then click on Rutorrent and WebUI. Then you configure everything through the browser - generally through settings which you access via the Gear icon on the Web UI. Google "rutorrent" and you should find more. You set the download file location in settings/Downloads. You can use Autotools to specify where files should get moved when downloads are completed.
  15. I believe that this is due to the fact that Kodi/XBMC was not originally intended as a client-server architecture. Plex, SageTV and others were designed with a client-server implementation with very light demands placed on the client. IMHO this is a shortcoming of Kodi.
  16. It turns out that I don't have any PCI cards - I thought that I may have been using a firewire PCI card but I have firewire on the mobo. Anything else that could be causing this conflict, like USB ports?
  17. Thanks, I will try moving my PCIe FireWire card the next time I take my system down.
  18. Anyone have any advice for trying to figure out what sites to whitelist when things aren't working? For example - when I am using PiHole I can't stream video from espn.com on my desktop. I was able to use a Chrome addin to help identify the site and add it to my whitelist. But I also can't stream video from espn.com to my phone and espn appears to use a different site to stream to my phone as the whitelisted site that works for the desktop doesn't work for the phone. I have tried checking out the PiHole log but as yet I am not having any luck. Anyone found I good document on how to troubleshoot these sorts of issues?
  19. How much media will you be streaming simultaneously? MPEG-2 broadcast streams use some of the highest bitrates at 19Mbps. But with 1Gig you could stream 50 of those and still have a bit of room left over. Even if you have some high bitrate 4K content I can't see it going above 50Mbps.
  20. The main device that I use is SageTV extenders - HD200 or HD300. SageTV is the best PC based software to record TV and it is easier to just use SageTV for all video content although I do have Plex running and could use Plex as well and (arguably) Plex is better for playing back movies. Like Plex SageTV is a client-server configuration so that makes it easy to use at multiple TVs. I have two cable boxes hooked up to my SageTV server plus I have an HDHR OTA tuner. I have played with Kodi from time to time but haven't gone to it. You can run SageTV on a PC (SageTV Client) but it is just easier to use an extender as they "just work". They work perfectly well with a Harmony remote control, or their own remote control, you don't have to worry about OS upgrades or futz around with codecs, and they don't have hard drives or SSDs that die after a while. I run SageTV server in a Docker on my unRAID server. But the SageTV extenders don't do 4K so I won't be able to use them in the future where I want 4K. But there is a SageTV client for AndroidTV (MiBox or Nvidia Shield) and that is what I will likely go to in the future.
  21. That's true but you can buy a <$10 ethernet-USB adapter and use it with the MiBox3. I have one of these and I quite like it. The other thing to keep in mind is that these STBs are made to be controlled with a remote control and they have a 10-foot UI. With a PC you are still going to need a keyboard or mouse from time to time, which isn't convenient in a living room and sitting on the couch you may not be able to read filename to launch. I love MPC-HC (too bad it is now dead) but it isn't made to be used with a remote control. I have HTPCs in both my Home Theatre room and my Master Bedroom but I don't use them very often as other devices just work better in those environments.
  22. I kind of agree - I think it is just easier and cheaper to have local sources - unless you want to have playback synched across multiple rooms/devices.
  23. This makes a lot of sense, especially if your family gets very dependent on the media content on your unRAID server (which is the case for me). It is great to have a backup server so that if your production system fails then they just have to point Plex, or SageTV or whatever to the backup server and they are back up and running in a matter of seconds. It also gives you the flexibility to do work/upgrades on the production server without causing issues for them.
  24. I sometimes browse through the Docker Support forum looking for interesting new Dockers to try out. It would be great if the first post of each Docker Support thread contained a short description of what the underlying software actually does. I know that there is usually a link to the underlying project but it would be nice to not have to go to an external link. Some of the Dockers are obvious - we probably all know what an Apache or Handbrake or rTorrent Docker is for, but until a few days ago I didn't know what PiHole is and why it would be useful, or Heimdall. Is there any downside to include a small one-paragraph description?
  25. I doubt even that scenario is as bleak as you portray. I am a long-time user of SageTV. SageTV was purchased by Google as they used some of the software in the TV part of their Google Fiber business. But SageTV as a separate product went dormant, but there was (and still is) a vibrant user community. A couple of years ago when Google wasn't using SageTV as much the founder of SageTV had Google Open Source SageTV. So SageTV V9 is now an open source product (and runs very well under unRAID in a Docker). I could see something like that happen with unRAID if it were bought by a large company and then ignored.
