I just tested with adding a new folder for podcasts, adding a library and downloading a stream.. I can access the files, folders etc. just fine - even copy them elsewhere no issues. YMMW.

According to github it's running bog-standard permissions for the share: -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_UID=99 \ -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_GID=100 \ Maybe have a look at your user perms?

Four hours to complete the test.. all passed. Memtest free won't let you run more than four passes, not sure how I'd accomplish a 24 hour test from looking at the settings. I'm running another test now though.

I re-indexed everything per the recommendations to get the best experience.. I hadn't even browsed the authors screen before.. I figure the search function works well and I don't personally miss any sorting options.. I'm sure it's a simple thing to implement though..

So thread necrophilia is a thing. I just switched to a new system and I am putting this old one through its paces before deciding whether to use it as an upgrade for my backup-server, that's only running intermittently. One thing I did notice recently was the log drive filling up quite rapidly, but I couldn't see any immediate issues. Switched to running single-disk cache, now back to running btfrs raid1 in the new system. Here's the new system: Uptime is close to five days. The old one would rise to 30% log usage within a day usually. Usually with the btfrs issue I found out when the log was full and related issues started to occur, rebooting fixed the log-issue and then I'd be able to tell that btfrs was FUBAR'ed. It's been happening with varying frequency. I did discover just now, that since I'm using Dynamix I was supposed to increase the size of the log, so I changed it to 512 megs with mount -o remount,size=512m /var/log - maybe that will help with the issue I was having. Can btfrs corrupt if the system runs out of memory somehow? Memtest is currently running on my test bench and is showing no issues, running the latest version of memtest.. going to let it complete regardless. Any specific memtest config or something you want me to try out to be sure? I don't want to rely on the board and memory for my backup box if it's the cause of my issues after all.

Nginx Proxy Manager. Get it, love it. Here's my nginx setup: A domain or static DNS is preferable here. If you don't have that, I believe there are videos from SpaceInvader on the topic of dynamic DNS setups on YouTube. He has proxy manager videos, too. Nginx ports: These will likely be different for your use of course. relevant port forwarding: Basically you forward any external traffic on ports 80 and 443 through nginx, which then translates that in the back-end to whatever you need. In my case I need it to forward traffic coming for ab.mydomain.org on 443 and 80 to the internal server at port 13378. I hope this makes sense - I tried to keep it short and simple.

It's still twice as powerful as my Avoton setup.. so there's that at least. I wanted ECC support, IPMI and quicksync.. thought I had it nailed with this setup.. ah well. Hopefully AMD will get some sort of hardware transcoding capability supported by Plex in the future, they're much less stingy with the ECC support. Thanks all.

So dedicated GPU or broke it is, then? Or just rely on Xeon processing power.

Hmm... I'm getting weird behavior. Just upgraded from an ATOM-Based system to a SuperMicro motherboard, X11SSL-F, running with an i3 6100 hoping to get at least some transcoding performance out of it. Following the steps, the driver-step is never added. The modprobe command doesn't fail or anything, but it's missing the folder once done. But am I to understand that IPMI and quicksync cannot ever co-exist? I really like having IPMI for troubleshooting, since my server is headlesss in a closet. If that's the case I guess I'll have to go Xeon or add a dedicated GPU instead. Please advise. root@FortyTwo:/# modprobe i915 root@FortyTwo:/# cd /dev/dri root@FortyTwo:/dev/dri# ls by-path/ card0

Mover is currently running.. stuck on migrating plex data I think.. it takes literal ages. Decided to play it safe and move data off the cache before trying anything else. Will let you know when that completes. Thanks Jorge.

I tried a new config with m.2 drives a week or so ago, didn't end up liking it, so reverted back to my old motherboard and cache drives. Today I tried switching to a new platform again, only to discover that my CPU apparently wasn't much liked by the motherboard (assuming BIOS update required) so I had to revert yet again. Threw back my hardware and rebooted. Array didn't launch. Cache drives are showing up as emulated and missing, it's remembering the old m.2. drives that are no longer in use, for whatever reason. Everything appears to be working just fine.. but obviously this worries me a bit. Any advice on what to do? Move to array and re-format the cache yet again?

Awesome. Again... You God, me blubbering fool.

Okay maybe my suggestions were unfounded.. given your suggestions I have just discovered that I can actually see more than the "bottom of main screen" player and have a full-screen player, too. That helps immensely. Especially with the button sizing. I am evidently an idiot for missing it. I am so very sorry. One must admit when one has been a blundering moron. I see there's both a chapter list and a chapter-skip option therein. IMO it would then make sense if the progress bar was "adaptive" so you'd click and hold on it, and then you could use it to navigate quickly and release the finger when you think you're at your target. The playback history thing is obviously a good idea - wish I'd have thought of that. That way I can just go in to the history and click resume, from around the time when I parked my car in the morning. Brilliant idea. You may disregard me now, as I am clearly without the mental acuity required to comment on absolutely anything. Carry on with the stellar flippin' work man!

That sounds great, thanks for the tip on the 30 seconds.. that'll help some! The seek bar becomes very unusable on a fifteen hour file is all. I don't know how Plexamp does it, either, but it does - it's just a neat feature. Android permissions says physical activity - files and media is currently disallowed.. which is interesting considering it caches liberally. I must admit Android permissions only seem to become more complex and difficult to comprehend as time progresses.

I'm perfectly happy with the stats.. I'm sure "days listened" is relevant to.. someone. My PlexAMP music player, which you replaced as my audio-book listener, can detect when I'm moving in a vehicle and adjusts the interface accordingly.. would be a nice add-on. Maybe an ability to jump in something other than 10 sec increments.. if it plays by accident in my pocket it quickly becomes a nightmare to figure out where I left off. This is all really just nitpicking.. the thing is perfectly usable as is - and you should really consider accepting donations man - it's just great.

I am still absolutely loving this thing. When are you comfortable with a donation man? This is just great. Larger buttons for playback fiddling while driving would be immensely helpful, as it stands I have to pull over to do anything.. I can just about manage hitting play.. but yeah. Question about the stats: The "days listened" is that number of days I have listened to an audio book? It's a bit confusing right next to minutes listened - clearly the two numbers aren't related.

You won't regret Seasonic. Absolute beasts for reliability. I've had multiple Corsair PSU's give out - while my oldest Seasonics are still chucking along without a hitch. Anecdotal, I know, but yeah.

Get Seasonic for realiablity. I've had PSU's drop power below spec during continuous use before (silverstone was the culprit, in that case) - while Seasonic has been ROCK SOLID.

Looking for some quick pre-purchase advice. I'm looking at updating my existing Avoton based server with a new one. Unfortunately it seems like if I want quicksync support, IPMI, ECC support & fairly low TDP I'm locked in to 9th gen Intel - if I don't want to add a dedicated GPU, which I don't. From what I've read 9th gen should be better supported by UnRAID regardless. I've found an available SUPERMICRO X11SSH-F and can source an i3 9100, too. Which should be fine for UnRAID, a handful of containers and most of all - plex transcodes. Was hoping for more than four cores, but it seems that unless I drop ECC and IPMI all I can get is either XEON or Pentium Gold - neither of which seems to be preferable for my use-case. Thanks

A bad disk shouldn't really be causing the loss of an entire raid setup though, ideally, surely?

Yes, obviously. Probably just shouldn't have upgraded the OS Was running fine until then. I'll try the other memtest once I'm done recovering. Plex takes literal ages.

Surely other issues would have cropped up during six years of use other than this btfrs issue? Surely?

Seems fine so far.. I think it's BTFRS itself that self-corrupts.. I think I've tried all variables by now, including getting the motherboard replaced at one point. Eh - think I'll just go for xfs and get started on recovery.. haven't tried recovering using backup/restore before, so it'll be a nice test at least. edit: pass complete, no errors.

What makes you suspect a memory issue? It's ECC memory and it's been put through memtest before.. I'll usually get 8-12 months out of the btfrs cache before it implodes..

yeah BTFRS is completely unmountable now.. never had it this bad before.. even set up a script to regularly monitor for corruption. Damn thing just keeps screwing up. It just says the filesystem is unmountable now, like it's all gone.. thinking I'll just to xfs from now on.. haven't had btfrs be stable despite changing s-ata connections, cables, power delivery and even switching to new SSD's entirely. Annoying. Please advise, otherwise I think I'll just have to recover from backup appdata.
