I mean, stubbed.

Yup. That prevents the host os from using the pci device.

Removed the stub from the GPU, rebooted, still no /dev/dri

 

Puzzled.

Edit: added amdgpu.conf and radeon.conf to /boot/config/modprobe.d/ , rebooted, same situation
Edit2: found the problem, i had also stub for the GPU in syslinux.cfg.

Hi again,

I'm finally being able to fiddle with Unmanic

I checked the various files handling plugin but can't find a way to do what i need.

 

I have downloading automated, downloading files in this way:

 

/library/folder1/downloadedfilefolder/file1.mp4
/library/folder2/downloadedfilefolder/file2.mp4
/library/folder3/downloadedfilefolder/file3.mp4

 

Basically, everytime a file is downloaded a "downloadfilefolder" is created in its path to contain the file itself.

I tried to avoid this but i can't sort it out.

 

What i'd need is a way to have the file moved into its parent folder after conversion, like this:

 

/library/folder1/file1.mkv
/library/folder2/file2.mkv
/library/folder3/file3.mkv

 

(and the, by now, cointaining "downloadedfilefolder" deleted (with everything else inside, wich usually are text files and other tiny ones).

I guess the "External Post-processor Script" plugin may do the work but my knowledge of linux is ways too limited to do something with it.

Anybody has any idea in how to do that?
Thanks!

Hi again,

i have been investigating this for a while but can't find a solution.
When i encode a file, most times the encode mkv has "added" a vertical black band to the right:

 

My settings ATM are:


original width of the source file is 624 pixels.

Any idea?

Thanks.

are you sure its added ? in your "snipplet" its looking ok as its filled top & bottom.

 

what is the height and aspect ratio from your source and targets, may check with mediainfo to compare, or play them side by side with 2 VLC Instances ...

Top and bottom are filled but on the right it adds that vertical black bar.

Those are the properties of source file:

As far as the comparison, original on top, converted on the bottom:

In other cases (other video), i even squeezed the frame to make room for the right vertical bar.

looking weird anyhow, Top (Original) black bar left & right (centered), Bottom (encoded) black bar right (left alligned).

 

about the pixel aspect ratio, low quality ~ 16:9 .. what is the resolution on the encoded video ? if its similar its just weird looking on a mirrored VLC session, should be pretty fine on a 16:9 screen (fullscreen), only if the black bars are really hardcoded ... and not only "fillers" right now to match the windows screen. Or are those black bars really included in the video ?

 

why its left alligned instead centered ... i cant imagine right now from your infos

I doin't force a resolution, so the encoded one should be the same of the source.

As far the bars, they are shown in every player i tried, including the one in my TV (16:9).

So, i'm clueless.

ok, as your shown resolution is 624 x 352, which is pretty exact 16:9 and you see black bars in fullscreen mode on a 16:9 display, then the raw video is not fully 16:9, like real resolution would be 600 x 352.

 

you can check if the black bars are hardcoded, search for ffmpeg crop detect ... next step would be to look why your encoded video is then left alligned and not centered anymore.

It's doing it with any video i use as input, even the ones without any kind of bars on the sides: it just adds that black bar to the right. I guess it's something in the metadata it adds, dunno.

I haven’t come across this before. But you could try the new “transcode video” plugin, as it has an option to remove black bars

Thank, i'll try.
But i don't see the option you mention.
?

EDIT1: found it.
EDIT2: nope, doesn't remove them.

Thanks anyway.

Is there a way to reset the data statistics plugin? Like to clear it out and start over?

On 9/11/2021 at 10:03 AM, Jammy B said:

in an attempt to keep up with the cool kids. i updated my container from latest to "staging"

 

i lost all ability to convert the media [its been running non-stop the last 2 weeks and had around 2 weeks to go converting TV] and so i rolled it back to latest aka old UI and now it all fails. where before it was ripping through it.

 

same error each time now - "Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height"

 

haven't changed anything, even deleted all trace of the container and downloaded all over again. gutted i've wasted today on it, should've just left it to do it all on the current working setup.

It's a brand new install so I'm sure I just missed something, but I have no idea what.

Any advice? 

You are using the nvec encoder. That’s only for nvidia cards.

 

you need to use the libx encoder

you need to use the libx264 or libx265 encoder.

 

your procs are quite old and wont run h265. I would stay away from that unless you want to spring for a GPU

Ah! Ok. Thanks so much.

I have another question though. Looking at the docs again, I see that I misunderstood them. What should I do with the "Nvidia GPU UUID" variable? Remove it?

You can leave it, it won't use it if you aren't using the nvidia based plugin

Hi.  Really loving this plugin.

 

Is there a way to do the opposite of the path ignore plugin?  I want to target some specific files (Remux 2160p but not others) for the new Transcode Video plugin.

This plugin uses regex. So just add a string to include everything except 2160p and it will ignore everything except files with 2160p

Thanks for the reply.  I tried googling how to construct a RegEx for "everything except X" and the results weren't simple.  Most of the answers stated that it depend on the particular RegEx implementation.  I've tried a few combinations based off Google searches to match everything except "Remux-2160p" but haven't had any of them work.  Each ended up with an empty queue in Unmanic.

 

Any suggestions on how to include everything except "Remux-2160p" so that it will ignore everything except that, so I can target just my Remux-2160p files to re-encoding?

Im trying to transcode some media but the output format is mkv I there any way to change it to mp4

On 10/11/2021 at 10:34 PM, Josh.5 said:

You are quite right. I should update the instructions removing that warning as I highly doubt anyone is still running the older version of Unraid and so there is no need to keep those instructions.

 

Just follow the instructions in the template adding the --runtime=nvidia option and the other things that it says to.

OMG please update. I spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how people do it with VMs since the NVidia Driver plugin says not to download if you plan to pass through GPU to VM. All the videos I found (including the Cpt Chaz video that you posed in the video guide section) all suggest you need the Nvidia Driver plugin.

So to be clear:

1. We do not need the Nvidia Driver plugin and do not insert UUID; only "adding the --runtime=nvidia option"?

2. It IS okay to run Unmanic NVidia encoding while also using a VM all on the same GPU?

If NOT, then what do you suggest? 

- I only have 1 Unraid machine, but I do have other desktops and laptops. 

 

Thank you very much, I am pumped to use it! maxed out my 24TBs. You rock

First post updated.

 

You probably will find that you cannot use the GPU on the host for anything if it is being passed through to a VM.

I'm pretty sure (but am not going to test this for you) that the NVIDIA docker runtime will not work without installing a NVIDIA driver on the host. Therefore, I'm pretty sure the linked documentation is correct for anyone who wishes to use Unmanic with the latest version of Unraid and a NVIDIA GPU.

Just as a notice here, I will soon be steeping away from using Unraid to develop and maintain my projects. I will still provide support for Unraid for all of my projects, but that will be moved and only provided via Discord with a focus of providing that support agnostic of the platform. Anyone wishing to reach out for any assistance or to provide any feedback should join us there.

 

I will be focusing my future development on providing better compatibility for platforms that are not Unraid, and as such it makes no sense to remain here in this forum.

 

I may still pop my head into this forum from time-to-time, but please do not expect support from myself from this thread going forward. Please move all support related questions to Discord.

I added you discord support channel. Thank you. To hopefully wrap this up here then; I'm sure everyone has GPU passed thru to their VM. The Nvidia Driver plugin says dont install it if you pass thru GPU to VM. So how do I do it? Download the plugin anyway? VM and Unmatic should still work or no?
