@lemmy.caCan SnapRaid restore the a lost drive in the case where the other data drives have been written to since the last sync? My understanding of the principles is probably just lacking, but I worry that using parity based on the other drive's data would only work if the data on the other drives had not changed since the parity was last calculated.
So do I invalidate my last sync as soon as I write new data to a drive in my arrray?
I currently have 90Tb of libraries shared via a Windows server. I've been using Mediasonic hard drive enclosures with 8 or 16Tb drives and Windows/Intel storage spaces for 4 drives for the "Movies" library, 8 drives for the "TV" library, and another 4 drives for "Photos" and other random NAS. I literally only share with family, but, that's still about 12 users across the US due to school. I have a stable 1000/1000Mb fiber connection that has been working perfectly for the past few years. So, my issue now is, I want to host my own Lemmy, Matrix, and NextCloud servers, but they all seem to need a Linux-based server. I've read in the past that Linux Plex servers run into a lot of issues since it was designed to run on Windows. I'm not averse to buying yet another computer, but, before I do that I thought I would seek some advice if I should combine everything into one Linux server, or leave Plex as its own Windows server and put everything else on a new device.
I'm very new and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any way to set folder (and future subfolder) permissions on Ubuntu?
I use the Arrs and new folders are made automatically when something completes, but I constantly have to use Plex to optimize my videos before they'll play. Unfortunately, the new folders get locked when they're made.
I'm not sure what I've done to my setup, but I'd love some help if anyone is willing.
My computer crashed recently, and I had to reinstall everything. Since then, I could not have anything above 720p anywhere besides playing directly on the computer that runs plex.
It looks like the maximum rate is 2 Mbps regardless of the original format.
I my install is pretty much the same as before.
I run plex as a docker container on Kubuntu.
CPU : I5-4590
GPU : GeForce 1030
I installed the Nvidia toolbox for docker as well, and everything should be good
I tried activating, deactivating HW transcoding, playing with the transcoding speed option, disabled the iGPU to use only the 1030, but nothing seems to make any difference.
I first thought it was a certain format, but it seems to affect everything. I tried to optimize a file by encoding it with the plex option, but the issue stays.
I thought about a network limitation, but nothing is supposed to have changed.
I'm kind of clueless now on what to do next
Any idea on where to look?
Edit2:
Solved!
I unchecked the "use relay" option, and that fixed it.
I still have issues with certain clients, but that's another problem.
I found it odd that everything defaulted to relay when it could have direct play with certain clients.
Thank you for the help!
I'm in a musical rut for sure, Tidal is the obvious solution because it integrates with Plex. What plan do you use (if you do)? I use PlexAmp all the time, have a lifetime pro subscription for plex. I prefer high quality but not sure about that $19/month pricetag...

Hey guys, I've used plex in my home for a while but decided to share my collection with a friend. It seems that even when I can get plex to do a direct stream, it still transcodes the audio and he only gets 7.1 channel audio instead of dolby atmos.
Any idea what setting I've got wrong? The file I tested was one I had ran through handbrake, ensuring that I left passthru enabled.
