Having fun with Unraid V6...!!!

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I've been running an Unraid server for many years now...Started with 4.7 in 2009, and upgraded to V5 approx 6 months ago. I'm using it as a vanilla server to stream to my WD TV Live (I have 4 of them) and it works perfectly well.

I wanted to "play" with V6 and Plex though, but without taking the risk to put mine off-line...My wife would not be happy if I tell her she can't watch her favorite TV shows  :o

So I installed V6.1.8 on a spare PC I was not using (AMD XII 250 and 2 x 1TB WD Blue i just purchased for the test) Installation was flawless. I've also added a cache drive (64GB SSD) that was laying around

I do have some questions:

1) How can I have the server to beep when it's ready?

2) I can't access it thru its name, only its IP address. Since I have my 1st one named TOWER, I named that one TOWER_II. But when I type Tower_II:8080, nothing.....

3) How do I modify the schedule of the mover?

4) And finally, where can I find a clear tutorial to install Plex?

Thanks

8080 isn't the default port. That was unMenu's port. Just leave off the port number and you will get the standard v6 webUI just like you would have gotten the standard v5 webUI if you didn't tell it to go to the unMenu port.

 

If there is actually a beeping type of speaker you can put a beep command in go. There are a lot of variations of that idea on the forum.

 

Plenty of plex docker discussions on the forum also.

 

See search tips in my sig.

 

And read some of the stickies.

3) How do I modify the schedule of the mover?

Settings - Scheduler - Mover Settings

 

4) And finally, where can I find a clear tutorial to install Plex?

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37732.0  Noobie Docker Setup uses Plex as an example, but I would install Community Applications and then choose either Linuxserver's or Binhex's

Add to your go file:

 

beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500 ; beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500

beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500 ; beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500

It doesn't work.....I guess I will have to check if the speaker header is properly connected on my mobo

Do I just add that extra command at the end of the go file? I'm using Notepad to edit it, is that OK?

 

  • Community Expert

Check your speaker, notepad is fine, example go file:

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500 ; beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500

as long as your server has an on board speaker you should be able to enter a beep code in your go file.

 

you can google beep codes for handful of unique ones

I personally have FF7 Cloud Winning Battle beep when server boots up :D

yeah, will check the speaker cable

Here is my go file:

 

#!/bin/bash

# Start the Management Utility

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500 ; beep -f 700 ; beep -f 500 -l138 -D275 -n -f311 -l275 -D138 -n -f294 -l275 -n -f262 -l550

echo "/sbin/powerdown" | at 01:30

 

The last line is a copy of what I currently have on my V5 server...I don't use my server 24/7, so it shuts down automatically at 1:30 am. Hope it's OK on V6

 

I just noticed that my version is 6.1.8 (i prepared the flash drive last week), and now there is the 6.1.9

How do I upgrade?

 

Other question: what would be the cheapest and most efficient (consumption wise) CPU to get a minimum of 2 streams with Plex? I was thinking about the AMD FX-8320E......Great price, probably powerful enough for at least 3 streams, but not sure about the efficiency though !!!

Go to the plugin tab and press the Check for Updates button.  If the unRAID OS plugin shows an update press the Update button!

Cool.............it's done

When I switched from 4.7 to 5, I found the GUI very nice

V6 is even better........ :)

I guess i will have to upgrade my current v5 asap, hoping everything will go well
