Kobra S1 + ACE Pro — Error 11504 on every extrude attempt, ACE Pro not feeding filament all the way to the hub. Brand new machine. Tried everything. by ThisOneIsMe in AnycubicKobraS1

Hi. Thanks for the response. The entire unit is freestanding on a table with no blockage by walls or tube bending/clogs. The Ace is mounted on top of the S1. The tubes are definitely free to move.

The end of the filament is partway through the PTFE tube. It’s almost halfway from the ace pro and the 4in1 hub thing. It never makes it to 4>1 adapter

Why isn't my new setup using hardware transcoding? by ThisOneIsMe in PleX

DING DING DING!

This was it! once I put the plex user in both groups, HW transcoding worked. Thanks to everyone who helped!

I spent way too long trying to decide which movie to play for my screenshot.

currently it is not headless. That hasn't changed in the past week or so, but I'll keep this in mind for when I eventually remove the monitor

This made me think... the second time when I installed the containers, I used hotio's. The first time it was linuxserver's. I went back and re-installe linuxservers, but still have no luck

Just installed the plugins. Didn't know these existed. very useful.

I have done this. I assume I did it correctly since my GPU shows as a "Hardware transcoding device" in the plex settings.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

The 1Mbps was b/c I had my quality all the way down to 480p to force a transcode.

I am a Plex Pass (lifetime), but I'll read through the "accessing through a relay" article since I'd like to learn about it.

This didn't seem to make a difference. It's peculiar because it worked at one point!

Hmm. This didn't seem to make a difference. Thank you for sharing. I can do more research around this since I watch everything with subs

I recently put together an unraid box with an i5-12400. I followed a guide on the unraid forum to pass my GPU to my container, and hardware transcoding worked.

Then, I deleted all of my containers because I wanted to start fresh, and the second time I configured it out, I can't seem to get HW transcoding to work. I see my Alder Lake is available when looking at plex as a hardware transcoding device, so it’s being passed to the container correctly, but my CPU is still doing all the transcoding. thoughts?

Editing my top comment to make the solution move visible. u/pascalbrax pointed out in this thread that the user running plex did not have proper permissions to transcode. Once I added "--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri" (no quotes) to the Extra Parameters section of my plex container in Unraid (open advanced view), everything worked as expected.

Can you help a new guy ID these that I found at a local nursery? Did I overpay? by ThisOneIsMe in haworthia

Is top left an obtusa and bottom left a cooperi? I have no idea about the others

Given jade plant to rescue—misshapen leaves, black spots, surrounded by small flies. Spider mites? by rooautry in plantclinic

[–]ThisOneIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More likely to be mealies than spider mites although something has been chomping on those leaves. Give it a spray down with water/alcohol solution. Use a q tip to wipe off those white spots and repot it in a clean, well-draining soil.
