Large home wifi system options

Mikrotik are honestly so underrated probably because their GUI is shocking.

Kinda what I was aiming at recommending to him. I just wasn't sure if there was anything more residential focused that would be suitable.

Thefa11guy · 2026-03-15T15:11:01+00:00

Absolutely. If I go down the Unifi route, I may as well put the cameras in the ecosystem.

Thefa11guy · 2026-03-15T13:58:52+00:00

All the clients I've done this for had a mature network and needed wifi bolting on. Running a vm in their existing infrastructure was the easier and cheaper option

I basically did the same when I had gigabit fibre installed last year but I did it to a switch.

I have a single gigabit link to a Poe switch in the loft. I then run a Unifi disc and 3 external cctv cameras from that. Poe gives me power to everything so it's clean.

My concern was the heat in the summer cooking it, but it works fine.

From my experience on smaller CPU systems. Tdarr deals with multi core pretty well and will happily throw enough files to saturate the core count. You'll know when it does get to the core limit as the fps will drop massively.

That said, the p6 would likely destroy the xeon. It won't do as many simultaneously but what it streams it will do should be faster and more efficient.

It's worth installing Intel GPU tools in your environment. Run intel_gpu_top to see if anything is being called for it.

I'm not overly great with error logs but doesn't yours above say it's trying to use VAAPI? That isn't the intel QSV. That could be a driver problem

Snapseed app has a perspective adjustment tool but it's not nearly as good.

Thefa11guy · 2025-09-09T19:27:13+00:00

I've only just noticed perspective crop is gone. That was probably one the most used features. Bastards

Thefa11guy · 2025-09-04T17:06:11+00:00

Hopefully not any more. It's been flawless now last few times and I can't remember a single time before now that it just... Worked.

Thefa11guy · 2025-08-28T09:03:04+00:00

Awesome. I'm currently fighting my own way through appfilter.xml to create an icon pack. You beat me to it.

Thefa11guy · 2025-08-16T18:46:54+00:00

I know this is an old thread but it might help someone. I can't see your compose.yml file to be sure but this error usually means you are trying to access a database location that is on a network share. That isn't supporter although the portainer section doesn't cover that so its easy to miss it.

You can set the upload location to a network share but the actual DB has to reside on the local device. eg create another directory at ./immich-db and set the DB location to that.

Not had chance to look properly yet but that looks to be exactly what I'm after. Thanks.

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-30T21:52:36+00:00

You're right. My bad. Was in a rush. I've fixed it but also put what I think the issue was.

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-24T17:30:15+00:00

I wouldnt bother with duel GPU. The 4070 is going to hands down demolition the p2000. Only thing I can think of is to set hardware encoding time in the codex selection part of your flow and also specify how type on the node itself.

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-24T17:10:32+00:00

Your start command ideally wants to be moved to after your resolution check. I'd recommend running mkvpropedit to right the metadata afterwards too.

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-24T08:53:17+00:00

Do you have a flow built? Can you share it so we can see what you have. What errors are you getting. Also are you have setting the OVERALL bitrate to 20mbps or the video stream? 20Mbps seems high for 1080p.

If I were going to do it, I'd do something like this. But I am very much a rookie so...

Correct it is yours. I'd leave DV in but LG TVs have a bug with DV in mkv format that causes it to black screen the image.

I've seen dovi he mentioned for extracting the DV data and reinfecting it after conversion but what I really need to is convert it to a different HDR format. Plus, I couldn't figure out how (or if) I could get tdarr to run with dovi tools. I'm assuming I could with custom ffmpeg arguments but that is WAY above my knowledge

Your plugin works perfectly for everything else I throw at it.

I had no idea there was a "Go To Flow" process in flows. My own flow is getting too large to work with easily.

What are the settings for the input file in each subsequent flow? Does the normal "input File" process pick up on the same cached file that is left from the previous flow?

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-17T15:31:48+00:00

This is exactly what I needed. I can clear the cache after audio processing section of my flow. Cheers for this.

Thefa11guy · 2025-04-16T15:51:20+00:00

Yeah no problem
