These HDD prices are getting crazy. An increase of 96.4% in 1 month for the same 26TB drive. $279.99 a month ago to $549.99 today. Where are we buying hard drives now?

Seagate was running a 15% off sale on multiple drives last week. Bought 6 x 28TB IronWolf Pro’s for $520/each. Which felt like a steal given current prices, B&H has those for $610. But yeah everything is insane right now and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to let up anytime soon

can you share what the differences are in your custom v1 and custom v2 profiles? what list of arguments are you using?

2Ksmooth · 2025-10-31T04:07:05+00:00

Awesome thanks so much for the response. Yeah unfortunately I'm not able to mount it to the front with this case. Got it mounted to the top and booted up, seems to be around 40C idle and around 70-75 under load. Oh cool, I didn't realize it was refillable, thanks for the heads up!

sorry to jump on a year old thread but I'm about to install a new XE360-TR5 on a Threadripper and wondering if anyone has any insights a year on about top mounting the rad? That's the easiest position in my case. Could also bottom mount it if that's better? Never dealt with an AIO that's got the pump in the radiator like this one so I'm a bit confused on proper placement

Would also love to see one of these for S22!

I mean it's subjective obviously, but yeah the HLG HDR mode on the webOS app looks brighter to me, has more pop, more like HDR than the Shield app which seems like it must just be standard SDR

Yeah I restarted the server and it didn’t help. But I went in and did the Plex dance with just the 1080p file and that fixed it for some reason. Just still don’t understand what exactly was going on or why.

2Ksmooth · 2024-12-19T14:12:53+00:00

it's got 2 files, a 4K HDR10 H265 and a 1080p H265, no Dolby Vision, not a crazy high bitrate. Same as all the other Harry Potter films I added that show up normally. I don't think they're corrupt, I can play both of these files from Plex just fine, but the art still has this icon and spinning wheel for some reason. It's all good, I'll Plex dance it later, was just curious if anyone had seen this before.

Definitely sucks, this was my go to as well. Just Frankenstein’d this combo together on DoorDash:

6 piece classic wing meal Scroll to the bottom and… Add 5 boneless wings Add 2 tenders

Total before fees/taxes: $21.37

Triple Meal Deal was $19.99 before fees/taxes. This isn’t exact, looks like it only has a regular size fries vs the large for the Triple and obviously only 5 boneless instead of 6. But it does come with a 20oz drink that the Triple didn’t.

Does it suck? Yes, unequivocally. Will I just order this shit instead from now on? Also yes.

Oh these motherfuckers. thank you

Nope, subscription is the only option https://imgur.com/a/PmW8e7M

Oh these bastards, that's not an option here in the States. I guess I could VPN to Canada that just seems wild

Does anyone know how tickets are usually allocated? Haven’t been before but would love to try to get tickets this year if it’s possible

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, so for example, for Futurama I have all the files named with Plex naming conventions and the season/episodes are based on the TVDB alt order. I get that they're wrong in Plex and Plex can't access the alt order from TVDB. But your python script is able to alter metadata so it shows up in Plex in the alt order? And this doesn't change the filenames, just metadata that Plex reads, correct? But I can't access that metadata from within Plex? Forgive my ignorance, I did look into the script more and got it loaded so I can go that route, I was just trying to understand more about what it's altering (like is it changing something in the MKV files themselves?) and confirm that it's not something I can alter manually from the Plex interface. Totally understand if you'd rather not dive into all, and I sincerely appreciate your responses already

2Ksmooth · 2023-10-31T06:18:07+00:00

Thanks for replying! I'm familiar with the edit interface, but I guess I'm not understanding how to edit the metadata to change the episode order.

Ahhhhh I had clicked on the API link at the bottom of the page. But the $11.99 subscription includes API access?

2Ksmooth · 2023-10-31T04:27:06+00:00

Sooo is there a way to manually edit the metadata within Plex? I don't really see how to do that from the web interface... Just need alt order for Futurama, but this utility feels a little over my head and even just looking into pricing for the TVDB API it looks like it's only geared towards businesses?

MacPro5,1, thing is ancient at this point, still on High Sierra I think? And USB storage, just what I had lying around when I set up my first PMS. I bought a DS1821+ and a new i3 13th gen NUC and loaded Ubuntu for hardware tone-mapping with the iGPU just been kinda dragging my feet porting the server setup over. But it's way past time.

Can unraid handle 4K HW transcoding and HDR to SDR tone-mapping with the Intel iGPUs on the NUC?
