  1. Slow speeds anyone?  Does PIA still have port forwarding at certain locations.  I cant seem to find the current list.   I was going to switch PIA locations to see if that made any differences. Anyone else seeing very very slow speeds?  I'm at 9 to 12 KiB/s.  The thread has many seeds, it should be much faster.  I removed all DNS besides the two cloudflare (1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1).

     

    Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers!

    If you're using Deluge as a privoxy then this is down to a Deluge update.  Check in that thread for what you need to do (pinned post, plus posts from the last few days).

    Sorry,

    Where is this pinned post?

    The key steps are:

    1. Make sure the iGPU is the primary graphics adapter in the BIOS (normally i915 drivers will not load if iGPU is not primary so it appears this is done)

    2. Load i915 drivers - working

    3. Pass /dev/dri through to the Plex server as either extra parameters (I do it this way) or as a device in the container configuration.

    4. Enable hardware acceleration in the Plex server itself in the Transcoder setup.

     

    It looks like you have 1 and 2 covered so it is probably failing somewhere in 3 or 4.  If the checkbox for hardware acceleration is selected in Transcoder setup, the problem is likely something with step 3.

     

    If you look at the Plex docker container run command for Plex 2, does it appear to be passing the device successfully?

     

     

    Plex1 (intel) does not hw transcode. I have the following in the extra parameters "--device=/dev/dri" and the transcode box is checked. For Plex2, it successfully transcodes with the nvidia graphics filled out as the Docker states to. I see "hw" when changing 1080p movie to 720p. Do not see this with Plex1.

    What does "complete all steps" mean? 

     

    Have you done everything listed in this guide?

     

    It looks like modprobe i915 is loading the necessary drivers so that is a good start.

    That is correct!  I have completed everything on the guide as instructed.  It doesn't hardware transcode ("hw") with intel.

     

    I added a  dummy HDMI doo-dad and this this did not change result.

  5. Hi All,

     

    Need a little direction please.  Currently, I have everything working with with a GTX1060.  All works well!  I want to switch to the Intel GPU and use the 1060 for a VM.  I have pulled down a new linuxserver plex docker (named differently plex2) and setting up Intel quick sync on it.   No luck.  It does not show "hw" after I complete all steps.  I can switch back to plex1 and all is well working with the GTX 1060. 

     

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  6. Thanks for the comments!!  I do understand I can upgrade, however, I don't want to loose the capacity of the other drives.  They are good red drives.

    Based on what you have + what you want to add = 24 drives <--- that's a 4U server chassis (or close to it). DAS is possible but seems rather hack-y. You need an external case with its own power and then you need to run a cable from your existing server to the external case (usually using a controller card that supports an expander card of some sort).

    Frankly, seems like a lot of headache.

    Why add drives and not upgrade size of existing drives?

     

    I would love to do a homemade DAS.  Would this only be 1 cable going from Server to DAS?  Also, can you please add give some specs and links your set up above.  Thanks in advance.

    You can use an homemade DAS, e.g.:

  7. Hello Fellow Unraiders!

     

    My first post...I think.  I've been on Unraid for a few years now, upgrading and improving my server over time.  My specs are below.  I'm running out of places to store drives.  I still have 1 opening and I know I can upgrade the 2TB's...but I would rather not.  I'm looking to add a small form factor external DAS.  I know it is possible, but how? I have 1 and can make 2 (if needed) of the 4 PCI-E 16x slots available. I'm looking to add 6 to 12 more drives over time. So, external SAS controller?...then what? Know of a guide? I searched on the forum, but didn't see much. Unless my search foo failed me.  Any help would be appreciated and thanks to ask that try.  Please no rack mounted ideas. Cheers!

  9. I recently added a cache pool to my Server, then upgrade my cache 2 drive to match my cache 1 drive.  WD black nvme 500GB cache 1 /AData nvme 500GB cache 2 to two WD black nvme 500GB cache 1 /500GB cache 2.  Now the cache 2 drives shows no reads or writes being made. 

     

    Can someone please advise?  Thanks in advance, sceenshot below.
