    Exactly the point I'm trying to make - even with high latency, you should be able to saturate your 100Mb link - most people that have issues are on 1Gb or higher links. If you're hell bent on it, I'd set up a lightweight VM
  2. Michael_P
    It could be if it's a low end processor, especially using SMB
  3. Michael_P
    Define 'better speeds', what are you seeing now? What's the link's speed? What's the VPN server's specs? SMB over VPN tends to be slower, but it can also be plenty fast
  4. Michael_P
    Not if you pass it through to a VM, only need the custom kernel if you want to use it with docker containers in Unraid
  5. Michael_P
    Yep, it works
  6. Michael_P
    Make sure you've touched the appropriate file to enable the igpu Make sure the Plex container is set up to use it Make sure you have a plex pass That will solve your issue

    open a terminal on the server and type: top

    when playing the movie and the cpu is pegged, what is the top process running
  9. Michael_P
    That suggests you're transcoding from the CPU - when you're playing the movie, what does plex show in the now playing dashboard?
  10. Michael_P
    OK, you can try moving the movie to the cache drive if you have one and try playing from there to rule out the drive, or try another computer to play the file from, next you can start swapping out network components
  11. Michael_P
    Sure, but if you have something else to try you can rule it out Were the windows and mac machinese connected to the same network port as the Apple TV?
  12. Michael_P
    this 1- make sure the drive where the video is stored isn't being actively accessed by anything else 2- try another device 3- check your network

    Personally, i would ditch the 1070 (this is a no brainer, the iGPU is better in every aspect for media), run 1 SAS card and the expander (SSDs connect to the mobo) - I run 24 spinners and it's plenty. Save power and heat
  14. Michael_P
    You can save a ton of power dropping the 1070, don't discount that
  15. Michael_P
    It can use either/or for power - if it's in the slot it'll draw power from it and there isn't any need for the molex to be powered, too
  16. Michael_P
    Doesn't need the slot, you can mount it anywhere - it only needs molex for power when not in the slot Not better, per se - it'll split up the bandwidth of up to 2 SAS ports and share it between more devices. For spinning rust, you probably won't miss it. @JorgeB did a comparision, it's somewhere around here in the forums
  17. Michael_P
    For video transcoding, the iGPU is plenty (and you can do more simultaneous streams, too)
  18. Michael_P
    Absolutely Yep, something like the RES2SV240

  20. Michael_P
    What time is Plex's scheduled maintenance set to kick off?
  21. Michael_P
    In standard read/modify/write configuration, only the two parity drives and the drive being written to are active. Having parity drives does nothing to protect the data, just FYI

    Torrent Sorting

    Michael_P replied to Rkpaxam's topic in Lounge

    Just stick to categories if you dont need anything fancy, create a category for each of the 4 types, and then add a path for each category - then when you add a torrent select the appropriate category. I'm not familiar with Qbittorrent but it should be a straight forward process. If you get stuck, there should be a decent guide - i just searched for "qbittorrent categories" and the first result seems easy enough to follow

    Not sure about Qbittorrent, but Deluge has a filebot plugin
  24. Michael_P
    Diagnostics from the Tools menu or from the command line
