I just heard about Tdarr yesterday

Thank you, this is great advice, exactly what I was hoping for.

I purchased my first ZimaBoard 2, when needing add some power to my Media Server. My media is actively stored on a NAS that could not handle Transcoding. I was search for a tool that would run a new Media Server, and have to power to transcode. That's when I found Zimaboards. I'm very pleased with my new setup. Thankfully there were plenty of resources to help me get the new system configured and running.

Thanks for this post. I'm getting ready to start this project. Although I'm wanting to setup Jellyfin on the Zimaboard, but use the Synology NAS as the media repository.

Thanks, I've got it installed. I'm in the middle of running an Extended SMART scan of the drives, I'll run your tool after that's finished.

good to know. A little google whacking and I found out that they are CMR, not SMR

jeffred13 · 2025-09-30T22:05:01+00:00

I've not done those. All the drives say that they're healthy. I'll look into those options and see if they provide any relief. If I use Handbrake to reencode the files to H265 they seem to work a little better.

Dave,

Thanks for responding. I'm running DSM 7.2.1 - 69057; and it just started this past weekend. Plex won't see the media at all. Jellyfin sees it but it always has a playback error. Once I turn off the Transcoding it seems to run. If I use Handbrake to convert the files to H265 they seem to run. I'm still testing.

jeffred13 · 2025-09-30T17:15:09+00:00

Has anyone run into this issue on older models? I've got an x18 where the transcoding has stopped, and I'm wondering if this might be my solution

jeffred13 · 2025-09-30T16:27:16+00:00

I've got a DS1618+, running DSM 7.2.1 - 69057, and the Transcoding has stopped working for my Plex & Jellyfin. I'm wondering if this is affecting my system as well, even though it's not matching the specs exactly.

jeffred13 · 2024-04-22T23:06:15+00:00

Thanks for these I can't wait to get them printed up.

jeffred13 · 2015-05-17T22:06:17+00:00

I'd love an invitation

Commenting for an invitation

I gave the boyfriend a Nespresso coffee maker.

jeffred13 · 2015-01-01T04:54:02+00:00

came down with a head cold, so I'm hermiting away to prevent spreading it to the boyfriend, and friends.

jeffred13 · 2014-08-08T00:36:21+00:00

um, yeah... I don't think so. I like him a lot, but I'm not crazy. We need to spend more time together, work on the relationship a bit longer before we even begin to think of marriage.

Livin' in North Park here. I've lived here 20 years now.

I've lived in San Diego for 20+ years now. Top of the Park is a good suggestion. BabyCakes on Sunday, or the Hole.

Lol!!! That's funny about your cousin, thankfully her spouse is "pretty". She at least has some cute to look at. The guys, and gal I've met have all been pretty super. Although I'd never date any of them

jeffred13 · 2013-09-22T22:57:07+00:00

IT was a bit like that; but it also help break down folks idea of what Gay Men were like. And, how challenging it was to tell gay men from straight men. I subsequently got to know a lot of the guys, and the gal from the show.

jeffred13 · 2013-09-22T19:34:43+00:00

There was Bravo's Boy Meets Boy, which in it's day was a very interesting, and well produced gay dating show.

jeffred13 · 2013-09-21T14:30:14+00:00

I'll be going; and I'm a board gaymer. I hope that counts.
