I have all of my tasks set to run on a schedule between 2 and 6am. That way it doesnt affect anyone watching my server, well at least its minimal. Even with a 14900k it can cause major buffering when people are watching. Proably because its a spinner issue.

I think the default for intro skipping was midnight, and I suspect the trickplay is the same. Not surprising that trickplay scanning can cause issues if the content is being pulled off of the same HDD, looks like it's pulling the active file at 100 MB/s with my alder lake Processor.... probably maxing the HDD with your 14900k. :)

It'd be interesting to see what the scanning speed is.... probably very much cpu bound (with the upper limit being the HDD) but I'd suspect it's a multiple (like 2X) of normal playback speed similar to the idea of high speed cassette copying back in the '80s/'90s.

My current focus is looking into new skins/themes.

edit: Default for intro skipper is 12am, default for trickplay is 3am.

Bah!!!!!

2 days scanning media to create trickplay images only to discover that it doesn't work on firestick apps. :(

OTOH, intro skipping appears to be working fine.

edit: Apparently skins/themes don't work on the various streamer stick apps either. :(

I was incorrect..... there is a selection in developer's options to enable it, but with a warning that the feature is unsupported. It does appear to work as advertised.

Unbalanced is da bomb!!!!

I had initially avoided it as I was concerned about preserving hard links, as well as really nervous about screwing stuff up with the fix permissions option.... fortunately on the permissions front, unraid's "docker safe new perms" selection avoids making changes to app data, and I was able to confirm that hard links should be fine.

That said..... moving 2TB+ between drives on the array takes between 6 - 7 hours. :eek:
 
I have mine set to have the tv share on one drive, the movie share on another drive., high-water, manual: do not split directories.

That definitely makes sense since you don't have any redundancy. If one of those drives fail, you're looking at a specific content type to replace as opposed to trying to figure out what holes are left in that content type.
 
I also do have a backup folder for my pc and documents on there as well. My redundancy or backups to the whole thing is on an external drive though.

I absolutely hated trying to figure out which episode was here, which was there, etc. It made it a lot easier for me this way as I always know exactly where everything is.

Also a parity drive always made everything so slow and I was tired of people complaining everytime a pirty check kicked in an plex was buffering.

Isn't that automatically covered by rad/sonarr in plex? With my setup, the location of the file is irrelevant to jellyfin.

As far as parity goes.... there's a new(ish) option for scheduled parity checks which allows you to set it to run during off hours broken up over several nights. (Not that I'm suggesting you need to run parity for your setup).
 
Obviously it will look like everything is in a single place to the file system or any programs accessing the files. But for me, Im a little bit OCD when it comes to my pc/server as far as organization is concerned. I also know that you can run parity in increments now but I have family accessing from different sides of tge world so it would still piss people off. 😂

Anyway, my purpose for unraid is 95% media server so running it as individual disks makes the most sense for me.

This is what I've been using and it seems to work as advertised. Ends up taking 3 nights to complete parity with a 22TB parity disk.

Currently prepping to replace one of my 10TB drives with a 22TB one, and I know it's not necessary (I could just pop the old one out and let the system run parity on the new drive to rebuild the files that were on the old one) but I'm running unbalanced to move all of the files over to the other drives on the array before replacing it.

10hrs 12hrs+ for a little under 5TB. I get hives whenever I'm running something for that long which is potentially destructive to the array. :)
