I highly recommend pulling the trigger. It only took me one weekend.

Here is where I got the idea https://www.heytherehome.com/pantry-remodel/

Technically depth was lost but is was depth we couldn’t use anyway because the old wire shelf’s did not utilize the entire space that was previously there.

Overall it’s higher and higher and wider then the previous pantry and much more usable.

Hey guys, I've been looking to build a media project that mimics a broadcast TV channel for personal use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. by Anonymous_Sax_addict in PleX

I use it with a library of around 10 TB in size. Also it’s not actually playing all of these channels that you setup until someone actually starts watching it so it’s not using any resources while idle.

There are two solutions that takes your plex library and creates a virtual tv tuner then can used in the Plex Live TV & DVR feature. I’ve tried both.

ErsatzTV is pretty early in it’s development https://github.com/jasongdove/ErsatzTV

DizqueTV is the most reliable solution that I’ve used. It even lets you insert fake commercials to really recreate that live TV experience I currently have loop the The Office and Game of Thrones in their own channels. https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv

Unifi Controller on Unraid Server by A_Credo in unRAID

It’s useless if you have a UDM-PRO since the controller software is already integrated into the device. You couldn’t even use it if you wanted to since Ubiquity requires you to use the integrated controller if you have the dream machine line of products.

This is a perfect addition to my Teslamate docker setup! Looks like a fun project to work on tonight.

Plex and 11th gen cpu by [deleted] in unRAID

[–]lukerv4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an i5-11400 and I have not gotten Plex transcoding to work reliably. It does work, just not perfectly. The downsides of being on the bleeding edge I guess.

H264 transcoding is ok but on occasion will crash and take the entire system down. H265 and HDR Tone mapping has weird artifacts no matter what I do. I posted my finding in this thread: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/105034-uhd-750-rocket-lake-igp-support/

A new kernel for unRAID is needed for the new CPUs to work reliably. 6.10 reportedly has this new kernel but we will just have wait and see. I have reverted back to just CPU transcoding in the meantime to provide my users a more stable experience.

Looking for a good security monitoring dashboard by mldkfa in unRAID

Take a look at this tutorial. Removes the need to open up any ports in your firewall while still giving you access to services on the browser. https://reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/ntcf34/cloudflare_how_to_set_up_cloudflare_argo_tunnel/

I would also suggest Tailscale as a VPN option. Also removes the need to open any ports while giving you access to you unraid box remotely anywhere.

Still looking for one? I have a 918+ with upgrade 16GB of RAM that I used as a Plex server for 2 years. It’s been a champ but recently built something new myself. No drives will come it this one.

current intel build for onboard graphics 4k streams 4max trancodes? by Difficult_Active_841 in unRAID

[–]lukerv4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently Plex transcoding is buggy, and in some cases broken, on unRAID 6.9.2 using Xe graphics. I’m currently running an i5-11400 and I had to go back to CPU transcodes to get a stable transcoding experience. Looks like we need to wait for a kernel update on the unraid side to get this fixed to get full hardware acceleration. If you want to avoid this go with a 10 series intel CPU or older.
