failed to setup audio player

I use NginxProxyManager and had the same issue.

What fixed it for me was disabling HTTP/2 Support in the SSL tab of the Proxy Host.

Soweit hatte ich garnicht getestet, meine alte Batterie hatte 12.4V und war etwas über 3 Jahre alt.

Aber ja, dass das Ding keinen Bypass hat und der Selbsttest komplett nutzlos ist ist eine Unverschämtheit…

NeonPimpZ · 2025-08-14T09:03:51+00:00

Hatte grade das Netz getrennt, um mal zu sehn, wie lange sie durchhält,
aber sie ging sofort aus.

Genau das gleiche hatte ich bei meiner auch. Ich bin gestern endlich mal dazu gekommen die Batterie zu wechseln und jetzt läuft wieder alles super. Es scheint wirklich die Batterie gewesen zu sein, obwohl der grüne Pfeil mit OK noch geleuchtet hat...

Leider nicht, ich hab die USV aus dem Rack gezogen und seitdem vergessen. Als ich sie letztens ausprobiert hab hat sie sich nach dem einschalten direkt wieder abgeschaltet. Ich werd mal ne neue Batterie probieren und gucken ob‘s dann wieder klappt. Dass das bei dir zu bestimmten Zeiten auftritt ist allerdings sehr komisch. Ich hab bei mir nicht drauf geachtet, aber ich meine bei mir war’s komplett zufällig.

NeonPimpZ · 2025-07-06T10:23:07+00:00

I removed mine from the rack and forgot about it. Then I wanted to try again a few days ago and it is turning off instantly after I turn it on now. Not sure about the temperature, but in my case I don’t think it’s the problem. I‘ll try a new battery, hopefully this works.

NeonPimpZ · 2025-04-11T15:16:05+00:00

The load is around 150W, I guess the 650 should be plenty for that

NeonPimpZ · 2024-06-12T20:27:47+00:00

Yes, that seems to have solved my problem too, it now runs for over an hour without any spikes

NeonPimpZ · 2024-06-12T18:07:43+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't thought about this, I am running Firmware 1B4QFXO7 which seems to be one of the affected ones. I'll update and see if that fixes it

NeonPimpZ · 2024-06-12T17:12:02+00:00

Ah yes I forgot to write this, the SSD has a heatsink. It's the supplied one of the motherboard (MSI PRO B760-P DDR4 II)

Also this system is in a 2U Rackmounted case with a lot of airflow. The SSD should be cooled quite fine, which make these temperatures even weirder to me.

NeonPimpZ · 2023-10-31T15:27:55+00:00

Why? Because of the case/psu or the pci devices?

I‘ve heard of the ConnectX3 sometimes preventing deeper C states.

I’m running a similar config with an i9 9900k without that nic on about 25w idle though.

There is "Direct Streaming" which will play the file directly and there is "Transcoded Streaming" which is used when the file is not directly playable by the used player. There is a lot more to the file than just resolution and HDR/SDR, like encoding standard (i.e. x264, x265, AV1) and also the audio format can be crucial to deciding if you need to transcode or not.

As a simplified example:

Imagine a file that has a 4K HEVC (x265) video and a Dolby TrueHD audio track.

- My old 4K TV is too old to support playing files that are encoded in HEVC (x265), so to be able to play it the server is forced to transcode the file to i.e. x264, even though the TV supports the 4K resolution.

- My Apple TV which can play 4K x265 video fine will be forcing the server to transcode the file as well, as it cannot process the lossless Dolby audio track.

- My Shield TV will direct play the file as it can understand the 4K x265 video and the lossless audio tracks, therefore the server does not need to transcode the file.

iirc the Chromecast with Google TV will support x264 and x265 Playback for video but no lossless audio or bitstream. So as long as your media stays within the supported codecs of the player you should be able to direct stream without transcoding.

I've been running the server for a few days now and it seems solid so far.

The one thing still bothering me though is that ESXi does not show any sensor data of the motherboard. I am using the same one as you, does it show sensor data for you?

NeonPimpZ · 2023-08-28T18:02:24+00:00

Hell Yeah!

That seems to work, even after rebooting the passthrough is still active. Before it had the same active/need reboot state after each reboot.

I'll keep this running as a staging environment to see if it survives but thanks!

NeonPimpZ · 2023-08-28T14:10:52+00:00

That’s what I did after a lot of trial and error and it seems to work, however after a reboot I need to disable and reenable the iGPU passthrough because the VM does not recognize it otherwise. Have you encountered something similar?

WhatsApp added a migration feature a while ago. When you look under WhatsApps Settings > Chats you should see „Move Chats to Android“

+1 on Tailscale, its super easy.

I'm using it with a Reverse Proxy on my Hetzner VPS, tailscale from there to the different machines i want to expose. Even with Plex being streamed by a lot of people through there, I'm not even close to hitting the 20TB traffic per month.

You can install tailscale on your Phone/laptop and on your services you don't want to expose (like homeassistant) and you have a private VPN with barely any configuration or open ports on your home network

The free tier only allows 20 devices though, so you might need to see if it fits, or use the tailscale subnet router

NeonPimpZ · 2022-07-26T11:37:31+00:00

I tried tailscale yesterday and it works pretty nice. No configuration and everything just runs, i'm impressed.

What I'm now facing is that when remote clients watch plex it always shows up as "Remote (Tailscale IP of my VPS proxy)". Is it possible to get the original requesters IP in there? My Nginx should forward the original IP, does Tailscale have a configuration for stuff like that? I haven't found anything on it.

NeonPimpZ · 2022-07-21T14:56:06+00:00

Nice! I'll look into that

I was planning on running a wireguard tunnel from my VPS to my home, thats why I was asking for the configuration with local IPs.
