    This controller container will come in handy for managing the UXG-Lite as well as it has no built-in controller like the Dream Machine. 

     

    Frankly, I would rather have a separate controller rather than a built-in controller like on some Ubiquiti hardware.  As you noted, performance is much better this way and you don't have the limitations of some of the hardware with built-in controllers.

     

    I 100% agree with you.  Years ago I was self-hosted because I started with the Access Points.  When I got the Dream Machine I was disappointed in the speed compared to what I had before.  I also like the MANY options I have for backups.
     

  2. Just wanted to say thanks for creating this!  My UDM (base) died 2 days ago (the classic no lights, full fan death) and needed to get something up quick.  This worked out great and is running really fast on my hardware, much better than the UDM.

    I have the UXG-Lite in transit and will be adding that shortly.  For now I'm up on my old Asus RT-AC86U for the router function, and managing my 2x NanoHD's and 1 U6 Pro with this container.

  3. I'm not using a ROM file, I don't believe it's needed with my card.  (too old to need one I believe)

     

    For 2 I let the UI create the XML. (in basic mode) ... then I switched to advanced and modified the XML based on some guides / videos I've seen.  Not sure if this is required, as I believe it's mainly to get HDMI audio working.

     

    From what I remember, Window sees the GPU, but it sets it at a Code 43 or something, so I had to force the driver in to get it working.  I downloaded the driver from Nvidia, ran the installer, and then when I knew it had extracted the files to a temp folder, I switched to Device Manager and installed the driver from there, then I just killed the Nvidia installer.

     

    HA=N means Nvidia in Blue Iris ... the "HA" is Hardware Acceleration.  If it wasn't working it shows as a "-" instead.

    @cscoppa Blue Iris is the reason I want to passthrough the iGPU to a Win 10 VM. Since I haven't had much luck I tried a very old Nvidia Quadro 400 I had laying around for Blue Iris but that was even worse than the iGPU. Was it hard to passthrough your GTX730? I'm getting desperate and may buy a cheapy GPU but want one that will work.

     

    It wasn't too hard, I just had to "force" the driver in by starting the installer, switching to Device Manager, and pointing it at the temp driver install folder to get the driver to go in.

    I tried, but no luck. I have a 12th gen cpu. Would be very interested in a solution!

     

    Same here, when I first built the box.  I ended up flipping it around and using the iGPU for Plex and passing through my old GTX 730 to a Win11 VM for Blue Iris to use.

     

    I don't transcode in Plex very often (prefer direct play) so would be interested in getting iGPU passthrough to work.

  6. Thank you so much for posting this.  I wanted to reconfigure things so that I could turn OFF "Host access to custom networks" as that generates a new MAC address on every boot, and it really is a hacky implementation.  I could NOT get local LAN redirects working until I saw your post, and had the idea to move the Unraid UI ports so that NPM runs on the standard 80/443 like your screenshot.  Now it's working great so thanks!!!!

    is that capture taken when you first start watching the movie and it's building a buffer, or after?

    it's not as staggeringly less burdened than my 7700K as I would have thought:
     

    Still considering upgrading to a 12500/600 as audio transcoding can be a real CPU hog.

     

    I believe I took that screenshot right after starting playback, so it is probably still building the buffer.
