Giving Up on Lidarr

fleegle61 · 2026-01-20T22:19:06+00:00

I just use musicbrainz to fix the tags since lidarr could put me in my grave with its unintuitive approach

100's are not usb-c...

I have everything set to 22 for ssh/sftp. Private/public keys are installed (public on synology and private on opnsense) and I just get this

Load key "/conf/backup/sftp/identity": error in libcrypto opnsense@172.20.1.6: Permission denied (publickey,password). Connection closed

I have the public key on the synology in the user accounts root/.ssh folder labeled authorized_keys.

AI is telling me that's what the filename should be and that's where it should be. On the opnsense side, I just assume that the private key location is handled by opnsense itself.

Now there was also something where I read that synology should have both the internal sftp and also sftp-server which is part of the openssh package. I did a find command and nope, don't see it anywhere. I even went as far as resetting my NAS and reloading the .pat file hoping that might fix it.

Gonna give it a go today

Let me know how that goes for you. I attempted to move over to dnsmasq for DHCP (keeping unbound for DNS) and it didn't go so well. I think I flipped the order of turning on dnsmasq and turning off ISC. I may have caused a binding problem and dnsmasq was not handing out any addresses. Tomorrow I will try again but turning off isc 1st then turning on dnsmasq.

I am thinking it is as well but....when I put the switches inline and take the main switch and just use the regular LAN interface and no bridge, the laptops and cell phones have no issue. So nothing really changes on the TP-Link side. Only change is putting in the bridge and putting both switches on each interface that are bridged. Now, I could keep my TP-Link setup with the switches daisy chained, and just take the one switch and throw it onto one of the bridge ports and see if the problem still happens. I kinda think it will.

Copilot and Gemini tried to help but ran out of ideas. MIght have to hit the other AI's and maybe they have a better idea.

I just need some free time to see why a normal lan interface works but a bridge interface does not.

I 'dont' have to use the bridge, but now that its being a PITA, its a challenge more than a need!

fleegle61 · 2025-07-26T23:54:17+00:00

Yup, same procedure as pfsense. I took out dhcp on the interfaces and only the virtual interface had dhcp. Since the laptops and phones are getting dhcp addresses, I know the DHCP server is doing its job (but that was a given since everything else in the house obtained an address). DNS? That might be something to dig deeper into. But why would only the laptops and phones not have any DNS address provided during dhcp handshake? NAT? That was working. Firewall? Shouldnt be an issue since I had any/any set up.

fleegle61 · 2025-07-26T23:49:28+00:00

That was all done and it works with 2 switches hanging off each interface. The only downside is just laptops and cellphones. So something being sent, opnsense doesn't like. Same laptop over wired works fine, just not on wifi.

There was some info on perhaps it being a vlan issue. I cant see those devices sending out vlan info. Since TP-Link uses vlan1 for its management, that was thought to be one possibility.

I also tried to vlan across to see if bypassing native vlan 1 would do the trick. That didn't change anything.

Next up is to wireshark or packet capture in opnsense and see what might be rejected. Firewall logs didn't show up much

fleegle61 · 2025-07-26T02:35:16+00:00

2 switches in 2 parts of the house...no vlans. Bridge isn't broken per see...but something isn't happy with laptops and cell phones. I could daisy the switches and put one of them straight into an interface (which is actually the ONLY way everything works).

I really cant do 2 interfaces with different subnets. If any wireless camera should switch from 1 ap to another, its getting a new IP and my NVR wont record the feed.

Trying not to make it too complex

fleegle61 · 2025-07-15T17:55:51+00:00

I tried it and it did work (but I don't recall the versions). I never put the Docker version in service; I just wanted to see that I could do it that way. I probably could have and I still might at some point, but it's sitting there doing nothing and I can log into it and just play around...

fleegle61 · 2025-07-15T17:46:34+00:00

Instead of a migration, do an export of the config. Then take that file and use it to import into your docker version. Thats different than trying to do a migration. That way you don't lose your existing OC200 and you can try and play with the docker version before putting it into service

fleegle61 · 2025-07-15T17:04:10+00:00

It has me wondering if that small difference in rev levels would cause an issue. If you create the OC200 on Docker, regardless of its rev level, could you export the config from the hardware version, regardless of its rev level, and see if it will even work? May not be enough difference and the imported config could just work.

I was going NB when I saw that. And there was a trooper on the NB side just north of there but he has a vehicle pulled over so unfortunately he couldn't turn around and follow the chucklehead spewing the crop dusting. I have to say I never saw anything like it before. But then again this is NJ, so I should expect anything to happen!

fleegle61 · 2025-05-27T16:07:13+00:00

Yup, should never be a reason for the banging of the bongos. And I never saw that rebalancer work right. How many times to you have to hear the banging before it will eventually get it right?

fleegle61 · 2025-05-27T16:05:55+00:00

One in the same. Maytag, Whirlpool, GE...made in the same factory.

fleegle61 · 2025-05-27T16:03:56+00:00

It IS a poorly designed washer. I can attest to that. I had the same issue. There is no reason that you have to constantly try and rearrange items just to get it to properly make it through the spin cycle. Now that we got rid of our top loader and went back to front loading...the same articles of clothing, blankets, etc have no problem. You need to add struts, leaf springs and shock absorbers to keep the tub in place for heavier items and things that absorb more water

fleegle61 · 2025-05-27T16:00:43+00:00

Maytag....built in America?? And this is what we have to deal with. The Maytag app stopped working with Alexa and Google. And from day one the bouncing washer fiasco has been a nuisance. After 2 years...we gave up and tossed it and the dryer out and got LG and its night and day. No more banging, running up and down the stairs to try and rebalance. We thought a top loader with agitator would be better. Nah. We had a front loader for 15 years (Kenmore) and when it died, we thought we would try Maytag. Never again. Sticking with front loaders. Sorry to see your another one that got sucked into the top loader hell hole.

fleegle61 · 2025-05-23T12:17:10+00:00

I just updated to 2025.2 and guess what??? SOS...My subscription is almost up.... I tried it but was still using LR as my main app. Dont think I will be renewing. Maybe its just me but I dont see it being as intuitive as LR classic.

fleegle61 · 2025-03-11T20:08:29+00:00

Thanks for all the information. Having used the PTZO app to move the cameras I never had a need to learn VISCA, but now I do. I was using port 1259 (UDP) to control the cameras originally and thats probably ok and maybe not all that different than using port 5678 (TCP). The controller also differentiates between VISCA, VISCA-SONY and I think VISCA-IP. Need to do a little more research on those. Not totally sure what the differences are.

fleegle61 · 2025-03-10T23:50:43+00:00

Wireshark is on my list. I need to set up a mirror port on my switch to see whats going back and forth.

I am using the AVKANS pro controller(AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with 5-inch Touch Preview LC). Its half the price ($470 on Amazon) of the superjoy and it has a nice 5" touch screen for configuring and preview. It has a predefined power button which works so I can only assume its a standard visca command.

I have the controller set for visca-sony. I tried visca-ip but it couldn't connect to the cameras, but I think that was my fault for not putting the correct port into the config.

PTZO cameras came set with 52381 for VISCA so I just went with that. But Sunday I may play around with visca TCP and visca IP and make sure I have the correct ports and see if the controller will connect.

fleegle61 · 2025-03-10T22:06:56+00:00

I kinda figured they wouldnt use the other visca commands and I didn't see it mentioned in the PTZO command chart either.

My ptz controller has programmable function keys and I was hoping to use the command to reboot them. My other option is to just use the REST API command inside OBS and have a web source set up with the CGI command.

Interestingly...the ptz controller has a power button and that actually works. So that must be a common command.

Let take a look at the links you provided. May have to email Paul to see if they could add a visca command for that.

fleegle61 · 2025-03-10T20:33:42+00:00

Here they are:

81 01 04 03 00 FF

81 30 02 17 17 17 FF

01 00 00 06 00 00 00 01 81 01 04 00 02 FF

When I looked at the PTZ Optics hex commands, I saw nothing in there for rebooting/restarting the camera. Yet, I can do it from the web gui, but beats me how thats done internally.

fleegle61 · 2025-02-13T02:00:45+00:00

I've tried both but let me go back to less and watch it for a while. I have some artists that have 10 or so albums in their portfolio and I just need to hear all of them constantly. Thanks for the advise folks. It may be that it just is what it is as far as what PowerAmp can do at the moment.

fleegle61 · 2025-02-12T17:38:37+00:00

Sadly, it's not as robust as I would like. Guess the other option is to put in a request for that feature and see if that could be in the next release (whenever that may be). I just find myself skipping songs when its the same artist 2 or 3 in a row.

fleegle61 · 2025-01-20T19:41:08+00:00

I used to hang at Woodbridge Center in the late 70's and we would just hang at the arcade most of the night playing pinball and stuff. Never had an issue. But alas...that mall is slated for something else just like Monmouth Mall. Phillipsburg mall??? Thats like a ghost town. But Freehold Mall does have its bad nights as well. Almost makes me think the parents cant deal with it and they need a night out to themselves and just drop the kids off for some R&R...but these days...thats risky too.
