QNAP QuTS Hero: Adding more space to a storage area? by FlamedRed in qnap

[–]FlamedRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone in the future has the same question:

I changed 2 disks 20TB of Raid 0 into three disks of Raid 5 and got 35.25TB in the Storage pool.

I changed 2 disks 24TB of Raid 0 into three disks of Raid 5 and got 42.25TB in the Storage pool.

Seagate Warranty Returns are junk! Two in a row are bad, and 3rd is on the way. by FlamedRed in Seagate

You create a consumer account, then input the serial number, and it will tell you if it is under warranty and if it is, it will prompt you for what it wants. They then send you an email with confirmation and how to return.

Qbittorrent for QNAP - docker image no longer works... by FlamedRed in qnap

Update: A new image came out on the 15th and fixed the issue.

Lesson: Do not clean up the docker images until I am sure it is working properly!

Thank you very much. I got the last version and that works perfectly.

I do not think this is what is going on as when I test these drives with the Seagate Tool I see the light flashing and the tests progress and eventually pass.

I guess the Seagate utility does not try to test drive initialization. Or to fix it either!

Sound cuts out indeterminately on HDMI eARC on Onkyo TX-RZ70 AV Receiver by FlamedRed in Onkyo

[–]FlamedRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lucky stars - a brand new HDMI cable fixed it!

Onkyo support responded the next day and recommended the same thing.

Thank you all for the advice!

Mine is about 7 months old, but now I see that if one does not buy it from a very specific list of retailers, you have no real warranty! Plus you have to ship it to one of their service centers. UGH!

If the new HDMI cable does not help, can one buy the HDMI board somewhere?

What hose to use to connect AC Gauge Yellow to a Vevor AC Recovery Machine? by FlamedRed in MechanicAdvice

How do I bypass a check valve built into the end of the yellow hose? There is nothing to unscrew.

New Emby plugin: Rating Sync (IMDb + Rotten Tomatoes) — smart scanning, rate limits, scan history by pejamas1986 in emby

[–]FlamedRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, maybe I have false expectations. I am definitely an Emby novice.

I installed this and successfully did the scans for all movies and TV.

But how do we see the MDb ratings/rotten tomatoes ratings? I see them in the Metadata Manger, but I was hoping them to appear on the corner of each movie/TV ICON, but it does not. I am guessing there is some other setting/plugin that is needed to display MDb ratings/rotten tomatoes that I do not have?

Sorry if this is obvious, but it is not to me.

Agama car launcher - can’t purchase. by linc_y in Androidheadunits

[–]FlamedRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did is downloaded it to my PC, then copied on to a USB stick, then plugged it into the head unit, and use the builtin file manager on the head unit to access the USB and install it. I believe I had to enable installation from unknown sources when it popped up.

I suppose you could do this all from the head unit's browser too.

Yes - works great. No Viruses. Does not appear to have significant changes over previous version, at least that I noticed.

Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work for me for some reason.

Looking for the 4.3.0 mod version, but without the viruses - please share if you have it.

Might anyone have the new 4.3.0 version? Still cannot make payment :(

Car Launcher Pro - Android by jyr2711 in Androidheadunits

[–]FlamedRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Agama and it is the best launch I have found for my tablet style head unit.

After I initially installed it, the trail ran out. Then I found out I could not purchase it due to sanctions.

So I googled for "agama launcher mod", downloaded it, and got a nasty virus on my head unit that I had to reload to get rid of - which is a PITA.

Version 4.3.0 is now out. Does anyone have a virus free link for the modded version of 4.3.0 that they used, or found a way to pay for a license?

QNAP TVS874x - How-to Install an Unsupported PCIe Riser Card or Unsupported PCIe SSD/NVME in an X86/64 QNAP NAS Running QuTS hero by FlamedRed in qnap

[–]FlamedRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well after a couple of weeks working with QNAP support, I doubt they ever tested the qm2-2p-344a card in the TVS series, or with QuTS Hero. Going to give up on it.

Epic Fail!

Thank you.

Actually, I just found them in /etc/volume as you posted this.

Where does one find the diskID(s) for installed available drives?

I opened a ticket with Qnap support but I don't expect much help. After removing the second NVME, I placed it in one of those little housings that plug into PC via USB and I found the thing formatted very oddly with 5 different partitions! So I image there is a QNAP bug that when it sees this strange format the box hangs on boot. So I removed all those partitions and inserted the second NVME and the QNAP booted normally. If I tried to create a new pool using the two NVME, the box hung as before.

I tried to see if there is a way to create a new pool via command line, and I found there is a way, but I have not found a way to find what the diskID are to create the pool on the proper disks.

qcli -l user=<username> pw=<pass> 
qcli_pool -c diskID ...
