March 7Mar 7 So maybe this has been proposed before but I think UnRaid should start making their own tutorials. Currently everyone needs to utilize outdated or potentially unsecure methods they found via Youtube which are no longer accurate/updated to each UnRaid release.I propose that the people best suited to make tutorial videos about UnRaid should be UnRaid. I can only assume that UnRaid could make the best videos (they created the software) and You could make lots of videos first on everything stock Unraid from installation to finalization. When a customer puts in a request like "How do I install Unraid" or "What does XXXXXX feature do" then UnRaid could link their own Youtube video link.You could then branch out even more with feature or app specific videos and tutorials for each individual feature of Unraid and its apps.Finally also having a podcast, guest appearances, commercials/advertisements, upcoming features etc all on Youtube would be a nice centralized, updated, and reliable source for all things Unraid for those of Us that dont have the time to read pages of manuals, wait for support replies etc. Also I hear You can get paid and can sell merch on Youtube ........ sounds like a no-brainer to Me.Regards

Same for all the other videos from other channels I watched. Would be great to have an official channel with all the changes, updates, fixes, how-to's, project showcases, etc. made based on the direct knowledge of the developers at the launch of each change/fix/update I would think. Start from the beginning (fresh install) and then tutorials etc based on each feature/app that is offered. If that feature/app is updated then UnRaid would know and can just make the update video to it. If the user doesnt want to update their app then the old video would still apply just fine.How this is effecting Me is the app and tutorial video/texts for those apps dont evolve 1:1 so I watch the most current video but the menu/feature etc is not present in UI same as in video.Regards
March 11Mar 11 Author Is that linked channel Official UnRaid? If that is the official UnRaid channel then I suggest grouping Your videos by version so that all videos only are in the playlist of the version they were introduced in or are compatible with. That would avoid watching an outdated video tutorial for a new version os.Regards Edited March 11Mar 11 by imrobertcampbell
