  1. +1 for Seasonic - an X-650 should be fine in your scenario. It's the one part of any PC build I never skimp on. My oldest Seasonic is currently ticking over 11 years of frequent use!
  2. Links fixed. Side effect of cancelling dropbox subscription!
  3. Side effect of me cancelling my dropbox sub, sorry. I'm updating all the links with replacements.
  4. If you're really worried, just back up your appdata path for your existing Plex docker before you do the change. That being said, you should be fine. I've changed Plex dockers a few times, and originally changed from Phaze's plugin, and I'm still using my original settings/library/everything.
  5. I'm sure most people will be fine with this, however note that ES CPU's (engineering sample CPU's) are not for resale, and have some other conditions around them: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005719.html
  6. I know this is a late response, but unfortunately I didn't get anywhere with this. I've just pulled the quad port and am now using the single on board gigabit as some of my traffic-related needs are no longer.
  7. Historically, licenses have been useable across 'major' version upgrades, i.e. my key that I bought for 4.7 works with 6.1.9 right now. I don't see any reason why Limetech would change that, but I guess only they can really answer that.
  8. Sorry to dig up an old comment, but I just switched from Binhex's nzbget docker to yours, and I'm getting the GMT timezone issue as well. From what hugbug posted earlier in this thread, it doesn't seem like it'll be addressed on the application side. This is really just me being curious - I'll switch back to Binhex's docker if there's nothing that can be done... although he appears to be running the latest also and his docker doesn't have the problem?
  9. This would appear to be an OS issue, nothing to do with unRAID per se. You need to identify what process is chewing up all your RAM. Task Manager -> Processes, and sort by Memory will do this. I suspect either an app with a massive memory leak, or not enough disk space to deal with page file requirements for Windows.
  10. I'm pretty sure that red message the OP is referring to isn't part of the forum software, as it appears for me too even when logged in.. it's just something Joe L. put in his notes right? Probably a legacy from the old forums. I suspect tdallen is right, the OP just needs to scroll down to the actual link.
  11. I note you mention you are using Sonarr and CouchPotato - are you sure you haven't inadvertently set either's watch folder to the media location? This can cause this sort of problem. Sonarr calls it the 'Drone Factory', CP is under 'Renamer' settings, and labelled 'Folder where CP searches for movies', which can be misleading imho.
  12. Quantifying time spent and the value of said time is always interesting in these scenarios. For me, the cost of an unRAID license, along with the simplicity of spinning up the server, was more than justifiable. I am more and more time poor these days, so couldn't dedicate the time required to spin up a MergerFS/Snapraid box even if I wanted to. It does sound like a great concept, but as someone else stated - unless it was wrapped up in a fixed installer with a nice GUI etc (I'd even pay for it!), I just don't have the time to go down that path.
  13. I suspect you are better off asking in the PleXBMC thread over on the Plex forums here: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/106593/plexbmc-xbmc-add-on-to-connect-to-plex-media-server There should be no issue connecting to an unRAID Plex docker with it.
  14. You can overcome that issue with OEM licenses by calling Microsoft to activate and explaining the change. Done that plenty of times for similar scenarios, eg a replacement motherboard that was slightly different to the original due to parts availability.
  15. I moved from Phaze's plugin to binhex's plexpass docker with no issues - was just a matter of sorting the library path out. I backed up the entire existing plex library to another folder on the cache disk before doing this just in case. That way, you can always go back.
  16. I use cache_dirs to prevent this.. I believe it has the added side effect of making library updates much faster as well (at least it seems that way from my experience.)
  17. The Roku's are great. Perfect for this use case, they 'just work'. The plex app on that platform is great too.
  18. Check the thread in my signature for more consolidated detail on M1015 flashing.
  19. Also very curious about the results of this. Our monthly power bills down under here in Australia are usually ~$200-$250 AUD, so any savings are good savings!
  20. silly question, but you have started the VM right? Ignore that, you wouldn't have the stop option if you hadn't started it. Someone else will need to weigh in here, no idea why it's not working for you.
  21. On the VM tab, click on the VM logo (in this case it will be a Windows logo) and choose VNC Remote.
  22. There is a new v6 vmdk on my thread if you want to use the old way still. I've moved away from ESXi, but it seems people are having quick boot times with the newer plop method, so it's probably not necessary any more.
  23. I would love to see a v6 final VMDK posted. I will follow this thread in hopes it happen! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B93BSpm4tzDMTHo0Nmk0RHVzcTA/view?usp=sharing Thanks, first post updated.
