Seagate just broke up a massive counterfeiting ring where drives were being passed off as new and having their SMART values tweaked. That’s a good part of the reason they’re controlling the refurbs so that they can check them. It’s also why you saw Seagate getting hammered in the BB charts.
And this is why i stick with Z-Wave/Insteon/etc. I have a local hardware controller that doesn’t have to be connected to the internet to work. It can be cloud controlled remotely, but if their service shut down tomorrow, it’d still be fully functional locally or if I exposed the server endpoint myself.
I literally saw that today after I posted this a couple days ago!
However the price of their 6-8 bay systems are insane and still may push me to something like UGREEN
What’s interesting is if I try to identify it by name or exact TMDb ID it comes up blank. I think there’s an issue hitting the API, which is why I was looking for some logging. I’m gonna try some other providers too.
Which case did you get?
That looks amazing, but damn that’s expensive.
Basically what happens is JF correctly identifies the series from the file names. I can look at all the corresponding metadata and see that it’s correct, including the TMDB id. However there’s just no cover art. I have two identical series and for one it pulls it in and the other it doesn’t.
I know it’s not TMDB (directly) as I have another media server (Think like a Dune or Zidoo) and it is also indexing the same exact files against TMDB and it will correctly add the cover art.
Here’s two examples
Is there any way I can enable/see logging to see what API calls it’s trying to make and their status? I can probably figure it out from there.
So I’m seeing people mention TrueNAS and Unraid. Both look like they could meet my needs (Unraid a bit better) but the issue I run into there is hardware. Finding something in a small form factor that can hold hot swappable drives is few and far between, but UGREEN actually looks promising.
One of the key things I’m looking for is size. I don’t want a server or pc because they’re too bulky. The advantage of the synology is it’s only marginally larger than the two drive bays for the drives. It’s small and quiet.
In other words their response was “hey dumbass here’s what happened, now move along”. They didn’t do anything except school you.
Oh man. One of my old companies, the Devs would always blame the network. Even after we spent a year upgrading and removing all SPOFs. They’d blame the network……
“Your application is somehow producing 2 billion packets per second and your SQL queries are returning 5GB of data”…. “See! The network is too slow and it has problems”
