[[Support] Josh5 - Unmanic - Library Optimiser]

/dev/shm is allocated to only use 50% of ram, whereas /tmp has no limit. Wasn’t sure what to expect for ram consumption trying this out, so erred on the side of caution. 
 
the history part had not occurred to me tho. I pretty much leave the container running 24/7, except for updates, etc. I’m not overly concerned with long history, but the next time I restart the docker I’ll report back.

I would think it would use the same amount of ram that it would for disk space, i.e. 8gb transcode would need 8gb of ram. It fully converts then moves the file to overwrite the original. I tried it out with tmp (I have 96gb of ram so I'm not worried at all), And so far so good. And my history was there. It must be kept somewhere else (logs?). The file folders it uses to store the transcoded file before moving it must just be for while it's converting, but they never get deleted by program so I assumed it was history of some sort.

I am glad you brought this up. I've used /tmp for plex transcode and this is a great option. I have an SSD in my cache pool that complains about errors if I let unmanic run for over a day ( crc errors). But is happy any other time. So this means I can leave unmanic plugging along and not have to worry about over working that drive. Also it means mover and parity check won't be slowed down when unmanic is running.

Thank again.

Has anybody tried setting /tmp directory to /dev/shm? I wouldn't advise if you're low on ram, but so far i'm not experiencing any performance issues and it's been great for keeping my file system clean.

How does this work for history? I noticed there are files in the temp folder for every conversion that's been done. Wouldn't these be cleared out of temp on reboot? Does it matter?

 

Edit: I think I'm confused. So /dev/shm is ram?  Are you changing this in the docker itself? Or mapping it to there? I know on Plex mapping transcode to ram maps /transcode to /tmp... I thought tmp was ram in unraid?

Feature request: I know you are busy getting this ready for prime time. I see we now have failures appearing in the failure tab. Fantastic as I can now see subs have been causing some fails because ffmpeg can't transcode them. It would be nice if after something fails we could change the settings for an individual file without changing for every files or having to change around folders to not affect other files. Hope this makes sense and is possible thank you for your great work!

[Docker br0,br1 not preserved on reboots]

docker has been working fine. but recently br0,br1 have not been preserved on reboots. if i restart docker they work. i already deleted docker image->reinstalled apps. i've also tried "rm /var/lib/docker/network/files/local-kv.db /etc/rc.d/rc.docker restart". all my dockers are there on reboot, but anything that uses br1 or br0 doesn't start and when i try to start them is says docker doesn't exist. i restart docker engine only, and then everything works fine. any help would be appreciated. i attached diagnostics.

 

it does show br1 after i restart docker, but after system reboot its gone...rproxy seems to work on reboot, but if i create a new container or edit it is not there as an option unless i restart docker engine.

[[SOLVED] Missing br0 interface in GUI]

Don't know what that would have to do with it but I am also running a pfsense vm.

I was thinking that since docker starts before pfsense vm can get going it wasn't handing out ip's so the bridges weren't able to be seen by docker. It's worked in the past, I just figured it was that. I just tried rebooting again and custom br0 and br1 aren't persisting even though the docker settings have it set for persisting after reboot... My Dockers with proxynet presist but proxynet is not listed as an option when creating a container unless I restart docker...   

Is it because I'm using br1 instead of br0?

 

 

Edit: I solved it by giving eth0 and eth1 static ip addresses.

I did all that and didn't fix my issue. I'm running a pfsense vm so that may be my issue. Thanks for the reply

Started having this same exact problem today for the first time, one problem after another lately.

did you ever find a solution? this problem just started for me. its like docker service starts before the system gets ip address assigned and can't start br0,br1, or any bridge what so ever.

Subtitles are a little tricky. At the moment unmanic has real shitty support for the subtitle streams in your video files. The problem is that different containers have different implementations on how subtitles are stored and therefore ffmpeg requires different arguments depending on your combination of subtitles, src container and destination container. Removing embedded subtitle streams will fix a lot of errors when converting between containers until I expand on the settings capabilities of unmanic and how it generates tasks for ffmpeg.

Thanks. i have turned this off and seems to be working. Well encoding the problem files. Also i have noticed that many have asked for gpu support. i just purchased a p2000 and have passed through to plex docker for transcoding and easily handles everything i throw at it. i would like to throw my vote toward GPU implementation as well. would speed up the library conversion for sure.

[[Support] Josh5 - Unmanic - Library Optimiser]

FYI,  I went into the settings and check the remove Subtitles box and it seemed to fix majority of the issues.  I'm thinking ffmpeg is failing trying to convert embedded subtitles.

No wonder it only processed some movies but not all. I'd like to keep the subtitles and the only option is to remove them. Most of my conversions are h264->h265. The container stays the same...is there any way to save them?

I am seeing this as well. Originally I didn't notice because I just dumped a bunch of movies in a test directory to play with and when I checked it was still converting them. It wasn't until after  all pending tasks were gone did I see that most of the movies did not convert as there were no failed in the list. If I restart the docker it starts trying to convert again and all that are left either stop immediately or go a few % then stop, but still nothing in the failed list.

All tv shows seem to work fine. And some new movies that i download get converted. It's very strange. But I have heard nothing from the developer here or on GitHub.

This tool sounds fantastic... however I seem to not know enough about my unRaid and dockers set up to know how to get this working properly. 
 
Is there, besides the initial steps in the beginning of this thread, a walk through set up, specifically for the dependencies for this to run, which I think I am having an issue with. I can access the web gui for your container, but nothing is happening. 
 
If anyone can point me int he right direction I'd appreciate it very much. 

Do you have the library setup correctly? That's all that really matters. Also is it set to scan at startup? Or every 60 minutes.

Sorry if this has come up. Weird problem with unmanic. It's been working great until yesterday. It starts encoding a movie and gets to 2-3% then just disappears and starts on the next one. No failures. No completion. And the movie disappears from the pending list until they are all gone. When I reboot they show up and it starts all over again.

[[Support] Josh5 - Unmanic - Library Optimiser]

so i believe i did everything right. i can see all the movie folders in docker console in library folder, but nothing shows up on the gui, and no options to convert anything. what did i miss or do wrong?

 

edit: ok so i just left it on and after a couple hours it started showing shows, its pegging all my cpu's 100%. i only have one worker. and dual 8 core processors. all are pegged at 100% on each cpu and its been 4 hours and its at 50% of one tv show file.... is this normal??

Yeah, a change happened on the API.  (Found it yesterday).  Already have it fixed, but not releasing until tomorrow (ish), as there's ton's of other under the hood changes that are still being tested

Thanks for the reply. I did find a post from a couple months ago mentioning an API update broke some search functions. But I just updated CA yesterday so didn't think it still applied. Keep up the good work! Seems they keep changing things just to mess with you haha

i'm running

UNRAID Version 6.7.0 2019-05-08

CA Version 2019.05.12

 

i have enabled docker hub in settings, and have used it before. but it will not search anything on docker hub. anything i tell CA to search for on docker hub comes back with "No matching content found on dockerhub". i have searched generic and specific terms. same result. it has worked before but has stopped. no reboot, restart docker service, enable-disable has remedied this issue. thanks for your help.

[Virtualizing Dead Windows XP Machines in Unraid - How ?]

Hey I just did this and would be happy to help if you have not figured it out yet.

 

Edit : I did it with just an old hard drive laying around that had xp on it that was last booted in 2003. No machine to boot it on. No way to "prepare the os" on a current system.
