I will try this tonight and report back.

Thanks for your help.

Hi tekkbebe, I don't have the firewall on. That's another topic of discussion which I want to ask, should I turn on the firewall?

This occurs when it's been a while that I haven't looked at a movie on the PS3. Yeah it's a problem with the DLNA. What I do when it's not working, I just start using the Plex app on my android tablet, plug it in my TV with the HDMI cable and watch movies that way. But I did notice this when I finally had Transmission working properly.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I posted this question on the Plex forum but still not sure who would better suited to help me.

When using Plex with OpenMediaVault and trying to watch movies through my PS3, many times, the Plex server doesn't show up in the video section of the PS3. I tried looking through the logs of my OpenMediaVault but there are no errors. The only way to fix this is to stop and restart the Plex server on the OpenMediaVault server.

I can also see the Plex server all the time when using a Plex app either on my android tablet or my Samsung Blu-ray and the movies play flawlessly.

Is there logs for the Plex that I can go look and see where the problem could be?

I'm using the Debian Plex version 0.9.8.4 on OpenMediaVault 0.4.36.

Let me know if more info is required.

Yep, I'll go with your suggestion. Get an Intel network card.

Thanks again for your help, it was really appreciated.

Hi ryecoaaron, I installed the Realtek drivers but I'm still just getting a maximum of 27 MB/s.

Do I have to do something else so that the system starts using those drivers?

Thanks again.

That's my next step adding an Intel network gigabit card.

Many times while steaming a movie, it just pauses, buffers and restarts in a matter of seconds.

What's your opinion on adding extra drives to OMV, is it better to create a raid or just add drives as you go?

Thanks.

Hi, just wondering, what is your opinion in running OMV in Virtualbox or any other Virtual Machine compared to running native OMV?

When I did my testing of OMV in Virtualbox, I was running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit as the native OS and I was getting more transfer speed of my gigabit card then in native mode. I mostly use OMV for streaming videos to my PS3 using PLEX.

Also, wouldn't it be better, for backup purposes, to run in Virtualbox to backup your OMV OS and backup your drive?

And in my situation where I just have 500GB hard drive and want to start adding some more bigger drive, isn't it easier to add drive space by using Virtualbox then reformatting my 500GB drive and creating an raid for adding the drives to the raid?

Since my box, which is using an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 processor with 4GB of ram with a Realtek Gigabit network card and it's really not using allot of CPU and memory for OMV, by using Virtualbox for OMV, I could also create another Virtualbox to use it has my voip box with voip.ms?

Sorry to be asking allot of questions, just trying to use the most out of this box.

Thanks.

Like I said, you're the best. Thanks allot for your great help. I will try this tonight.

You are the best. Thank you very much.

Do I need to add some repositories to my source.list for the drivers since I'm using kernel 3.2 or should I be using kernel 2.6 that came with OMV and install those drivers anyway?

Thanks again, really appreciated.

No I don't, where can I get that info?

Thanks ryecoaaron.

Hi gang, is there a way to get faster network speeds with my Realtek RTL8169 gigabit network card? I tried using Linux kernel version 3.2 with no luck. But it also gives me errors of missing drivers for this card. The best transfer speeds I can get is 27 MB/s. I am using the latest OMV 0.4.36 64 bit.

The weird thing is, when testing out OMV on a Virtualbox installed on my Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, I was able to reach speeds of 84 MB/s.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Sorry to have worded it that way. But how come a user submitted that he was able to view 2 DLNA plugins?

There, much better.

Hi, how come I can only see one plugin for the DLNA . The one from OMV-plugins.org?

Thanks.

Hi, is it possible for Open Media Vault to be a router?

Also, can it also have the components to be a VOIP box?

Thanks.

That I didn't know that OMV was based on Debian Squeeze. I knew Debian was the base but didn't realized it followed it's release pattern for stability. Thanks for the explanation.

But for ClamAV, is there a way to update it so that it uses the latest version?

Hi, this is just a question, I'm not criticizing. Why is there some of the software used in OMV, older version then what's available on the internet?

Example, SQLite, the version used is 3.7.3 when the latest is 3.7.15.1. Also, in the plugins, ClamAV, it's at version 0.97.6 but OMV is using an older version.

Is there a way we can update them to the latest version ourselves or should we just leave them at the older version?

Thanks.

I was also having problems with the plugins, not able to connect to plugins server.I fixed the problem by adding the information for the DNS server to point to my router ip address.

Now everything is working fine.
