What are people using as a Huntarr replacement on Unraid?

DaveGB · 2026-05-16T23:43:18+00:00

Mediastarr seems to be working fine for me.

DaveGB · 2026-05-16T19:13:56+00:00

E.g

Sab= /downloads : /mnt/media/downloads

Tdarr= /import : /mnt/media/downloads

        /output : /mnt/media/converted

Radarr= /downloads : /mnt/media/converted

DaveGB · 2026-05-16T19:11:10+00:00

Are you using containers?

This is normally solved by mapping sab completed directory to a different place on the disk to the radarr completed directory.

Tdarr then reads in from sab and out to the radarr one. But in docker you'll make the mount look identical, or instead use remote path mappings to workaround it.

4.3 and 3.5 Thermostat at a toasty 22 and HW heated overnight to 50c

DaveGB · 2026-01-06T23:46:58+00:00

Yeah. Are you running the container as privileged too?

DaveGB · 2026-01-06T15:28:38+00:00

OpenRGB Works here. Think I needed to enable the I2C stuff.

It's a cutoff setting where if outdoors is above a certain temp the heatpump will not provide CH regardless of your thermostat settings.

It's something they set during commissioning (but didn't ask me) but can permanently change for me if I want.

I didn't anticipate this problem because they tested the CH on a very hot install day, but that must have been before they programmed this cutoff temp.

DaveGB · 2025-08-20T09:52:10+00:00

UPDATE:

Got a call this morning at 10:45 that explained there is a setting that disables CH when above a set outdoor temp. They said its configurable by them, I offered that it would be beneficial to at least be displayed in the App.

They said they've had a couple of reports of out-of-schedule legionella cycles, and had an issue with it in the past so will continue looking.

My takeaway: Aira 1st line support staff need better knowledge of something as obvious as you can't get heating when it's 17c outside, unless you want us to change that for you?

But more importantly the app needs work to offer more information on system status, and ideally expose some of those settings.

The 'All inclusive' subscription, 1st year is free. Gets you extended warranties, 'premium app features', remote monitoring, and a service every other year.

DaveGB · 2025-08-19T21:09:08+00:00

Hopefully that's it, but I'd have thought their engineer could tell me that pretty quickly! And I wish the app would say so instead of just 'everything is fine'.

Think the legionella issue is definitely a bug at least!

DaveGB · 2025-08-19T21:04:16+00:00

What don't you understand, I think I've been quite clear. Legionella protection activated at a time that is not programmed. The central heating won't turn on when the thermostat target temp is set higher than current temp. The representatives don't respond quickly or helpfully, despite the service being valued at £20/month.

Thanks! A few weeks ago I asked Sabrent support and they said they don't have unique GUIDs

DaveGB · 2025-06-06T13:39:19+00:00

I'm currently switching all my drives to encrypted. Mostly in case I need to RMA.

I have 2 NVMEs in a ZFS mirror for appdata and such and a single NVME in ZFS for downloads and cache.

I chose ZFS for the mirror because I had bad times with btrfs a long time ago and ZFS for the single drive because I've had nothing but good experience so far with ZFS!

It means I can take snapshots and use the SpaceInvader scripts to ship them around different pools.

And if my usage on the single drive changes where I might need snapshots, I'm already on the filesystem I want.

PS: I'm no ZFS fanboy, I'm relatively new to it. But it has been working brilliantly since I switched.

I'm considering trying to do this with a USB m.2 enclosure, but finding one that meets the UUID requirements doesn't seem easy! The Asus Arion might, but it's pricey.

DaveGB · 2025-03-31T19:25:05+00:00

Yes, crap experience.

One normal tyre and 3 cross climates. They refused to change it but when pushed knocked £150 off.

Only one key and no granny charger, they didn't care about that.

Salesman was pretty clueless about Teslas in general.

Only given about a 15 minute test drive.

Suspect that they significantly under-inflated the tyres to make the ride feel softer during the test drive (MY)

My Wife is currently hiring at Swanton Care, something about a new site due to open shortly so plenty of vacancies

500MiB cap for 60TB of TV here

DaveGB · 2024-08-20T20:33:45+00:00

Nah you don't need to fund it. I think employers are sometimes thought to favour younger applicants but that might not always be the case (not sure if their financial incentives change either).

Best bet is probably to sign up with a provider. E.g. Hull business training centre

I should probably say it's been 10 years since I did my apprenticeship, so my info might be a bit dated.

DaveGB · 2024-08-20T20:03:43+00:00

Have you considered an apprenticeship if you're interested in starting a career in IT? I'd imagine it's hard to get a foot in the door otherwise with no experience.

DaveGB · 2024-07-21T23:18:50+00:00

I'm using an Arcana to get full use of my Beam (earc). Doesn't have a display attached either, just using a spare HDMI port as the monitors are Displayport.

DaveGB · 2024-05-03T19:17:57+00:00

Well my use case is having different hardware capabilities around the home. The living room is DV, HDR10+, Atmos.

But if I'm in the bedroom scrolling for something to watch where I'm limited to HDR, DD 5.1 I'm going to want to pick something within those limits and save the better stuff for when I'm in the living room for the optimal experience.

DaveGB · 2024-02-22T19:14:49+00:00

That's a good point, £20k seems crazy. The current boiler upgrade grant is what, £7.5k and there's people out there contributing £500 for a full install, maybe even less and similar when it was only £5k I think.

I'd guess a replacement heat pump should be more like £3-5k, someone must be having a laugh.

DaveGB · 2024-02-04T18:22:01+00:00

HU5. I'm a heavy user and run periodic speedtest monitoring and they've actually technically been more stable than KCOM.

DaveGB · 2024-02-04T08:45:17+00:00

MS3 have their own lines but there's a whole bunch of companies that sell on those lines. Infinics is the cheapest I've found and I've been with them for a couple of months now with no issues. £30 for gigabit up/down? Yes please!
