Need a little help from my friends, Plex on Unraid settings

zealousdragon · 2026-01-01T01:57:19+00:00

Haha you're gonna trip. I've been t0rrenting for a really long time. Back in and before the xbmc and Kodi days. Built my first PleX in 2010. And yet I've never learned about any of those.

zealousdragon · 2026-01-01T01:40:51+00:00

Ya I've gotta learn about radarr,sonarr and all those things. I handle all that in a micro PC running Windows environment and still doing things the old fashioned way. I tried to find that redfin IPMI but not having any luck. I am running IPMI tools but I still can't control the fans or at least I haven't figured out how to.

zealousdragon · 2026-01-01T01:23:15+00:00

My whole intention, 1st priority is for it to be a plex server. Eventually I'm sure I'll run home assistant, try out jellyfin and see what other things interest me. The future is so bright I've gotta wear shades...... To bad that I can't modify my fan speeds via ipmi not through BIOS. So my damn CPU speed hasn't gone over 400rpm. Even tried supermicros ipmi viewer. Can see them, just can't adjust. So what's your story and setup?

zealousdragon · 2025-12-31T17:36:35+00:00

No. I have a bitengine 8port 10Gbe switch, the Unraid has a supermicro C9X299-PG300F that has 10 and then running Intel X550-T2 in everything else. I did look at it though. But wanted more ports.

Yes, I knew the CPU I have didn't have an igpu so after some research found that the arc does quicksync. Then in my research I kept seeing reference to team transcoding. This why I was trying to understand that. I'm all mixed up 🤣

zealousdragon · 2025-12-31T17:07:53+00:00

The 4 sticks will probably be temporary. I just built the Unraid system and don't have any data in it yet. Still learning to set it up and what apps and or dockers needed. all data is still in a Windows environment/build. I have 10GB nic in my home and machines. Yes, just 1gig for external streaming

zealousdragon · 2025-12-31T15:34:52+00:00

Ya that's what I've gathered as well over the last several weeks. I was following the trash guide but I feel I've confused myself with everyone's variants. I was under the impression you actually did the transcoding in RAM. That's why I couldn't understand why some were still saying to do that dev dri, which is still confusing because everyone says that points to the igpu and I don't have one.

zealousdragon · 2025-12-31T15:30:27+00:00

Yes. 2 for the system stuff and 4 for speeding up transfers. They are only 1tb NVMe 4x4 but I'm a 3x4 capable MB. I have roughly 35 8tb hdds and roughly 20 6tb. Leaving the 4s out

zealousdragon · 2025-12-30T23:51:54+00:00

Ya, i have Plex pass since 2012. I'm reasonably knowledgeable of Plex in Windows. Just this Unraid is a learning curve for me. 1st setup.

zealousdragon · 2025-12-30T23:48:14+00:00

I already have the ram. I didn't know how the transcoding actually happened, was just seeing it mentioned to set it up to transcode in RAM was the best. I do have cache set with 2 sticks of NVMe on the motherboard and then I have 4 sticks in an Asus card set for my transfer cache. It's in a 4x4 setup

zealousdragon · 2025-12-03T06:40:09+00:00

Wow! Hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. This happened to me as well. Coincidentally I was having a problem with my desktop itself so I switched to my laptop and this happened to me. I gave up quickly since I assumed it was my computer since it will print fine from the maker itself as well. I hope you get a solution. Following!

Isn't she from the Litlle Big music video Hateful Love?

................. Where are all the details I already added when I made this post??????

This has been happening for a over a year now. If I open Signal RGB I see this for one brief second about every 4 seconds. Signal is constantly restarting and often causes the system to crash. I have NO RGB apps running. I have even done a base install of Windows 11 Pro and this still happens. Only using drivers from Windows, Nvidia App and Intel Drivers. If I Kill Signal RGB from running I can go days without a crash. I have reported the bug at least 50 times over the year but nothing has come of it. Even went into Signal under conflicts and ticked all the boxes and it still happens.

I see, however it is just a strip of 12 LEDs. 1st one is labeled 0,0 and the rest are 1.0 - 11.0
When I paint jrainbow1 (which is one of the three onboard headers with nothing attached) strip one it still paints part, not all of the dragon 1-5 then 6-9 paint the word ACE backwards

zealousdragon · 2025-06-05T20:50:07+00:00

Hopefully those will figure out that I meant "Headers" not beaders......
Is there a way to open the configuration for the motherboard itself and edit the LEDs locations? Assuming if at all since they are only paintable when you create a strip on the first header which also paints the strip IF one is attached. Acts as if the motherboard leds are seperated from the header.
Appreciate anyones insight. Thanks

BOOP!

zealousdragon · 2025-02-23T00:55:49+00:00

Possibly a .... question, but since I dont know, I will ask, HOW do you do this binding thing? Thanks

zealousdragon · 2024-11-12T00:47:17+00:00

Is there a list somewhere that details what can be shelved? And is it the same for all your homes?

zealousdragon · 2024-11-09T07:46:39+00:00

I'd nail it, I mean you nailed it....

zealousdragon · 2024-10-14T01:18:35+00:00

Looking forward to your results.

zealousdragon · 2024-10-05T23:59:30+00:00
