To recap on how I did this on a similar CPU with Ubuntu and on OMV.

Install linuxserver/jellyfin docker (It does the HW transcoding config for you)

set up your media folders

Set up Jellyfin to use VAAPI - disable QuicSync (hard to get going and if VAAPI works then little need)

Optional step - install vainfo on base system to confirm encoding/decoding capabilities of your Intel chip.

Find a 10 bit HEVC file and play it. Open an HTOP window to see what's happening - this will tell if HW transcoding is working.

Optional step - install intel_gpu_top and run it - this will tell if HW transcoding is working.

It's best to give Jellyfin read only access to your media shares (maybe Plex also but I don't use it). If you haven't then do so. It then stores its metadata etc in its own config files and database so less likely to interfere with another media playing system.

In you use the linuxserver docker for Jellyfin Intel HW transcoding should work without any extra measures. Lots on this in the Reddit Jellyfin forum.

It's stopped happening now.

I'm getting email error messages like the following on boot, one for each drive. Everything work fine just reporting in case it is a bug.

Host: \omv.workgroup

This triggered the monitoring system to: restart

Jellyfin - Emby fork free works well in Docker on OMV.

Jellyfin

https://jellyfin.org/

Works well with OMV 4 and 5 in docker install - free and clients for IOS and Android.

Seagate have a drive utility for Windows that allows you to set spindown time. So move the drive to a Windows machine then move it back.

Nice job.

Run omv-firstaid from the terminal the LAN address may have moved with the new hardware - a similar thing happened to me.

Having a second go at getting this to work - gave up last time. Plugin installs but when I set an alarm and go to confirm I get:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; omv-salt deploy run --no-color wakealarm 2>&1' with exit code '1': debian: ---------- ID: configure_wakealarm Function: file.managed Name: /etc/wakealarm.conf Result: False Comment: Unable to manage file: none of the specified sources were found Started: 13:59:35.753151 Duration: 19.481 ms Changes: Summary for debian ------------ Succeeded: 0 Failed: 1 ------------ Total states run: 1 Total run time: 19.481 ms

Anyone have this plugin working?

Could you replace the mobo with a Raspberry PI and SATA hat or similar? Which would give USB 3 for further drive expansion.

Intel CPUS (such as below) are adequate for hardware transcoding using the CPU's Intel graphics, no need for a separate card. My modest Pentium can easily handle three three concurrent 1080 transcoding jobs, maybe more but haven't tried.

Look up Technodadlife videos on youtube - the recent ones that use Portainer and OMV5.

Yes Docker is best way to install pretty much everything under OMV 5. Worth learning, a good investement of your time.

Start here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/syncthing

Is the certificate self-signed or letsencrypt?

If the former then use the latter method.

I do exactly the same here and this works:

rsync://admin@192.168.1.4/Multimedia/Movies

Yes but the usual advice is don't use raid on USB drives. It's not supported through the OMV web interace so you'd have to do it via the command line. A better alternative is UnionFS/SnapRaid which is OK with USB drives and caters for drives of different sizes which is likely your case.

That should make a nice system.

1) Either but I'd use SSD - best choice NVME M.2 (not SATA M.2 as it will steal one of your SATA slots).

2) Same as with any Linux system numerous trutorial on the web as to how to recover. You'll have media files on the HDs so they'll be intact if you need to reinstall OMV.

3) I'd imagine so - I have same CPU in a Windows desktop and have run one Linux VM without trouble and you have plenty RAM for the job. OMV will likely use 1% of you CPU most of the time.

4) I'd imagine so unless they are 4k files, then I don't know. Research if hardware transcoding is supported with that CPU/APU and maybe take a look at Jellyfin instead of Plex, it is free and supports HW transcoding - I have an intel Pentium Gold - much more modest than your CPU - and it transcodes 1080 x265 in hardware at 300+ fps.

Given your HDs are various sizes SnapRaid is a better choice than RAID.

My old QNAP TS-420 with Marvell CPU has WOL. I used to have an Odroid XU4 and whilst WOL wasn't possible wake by RTC was, so may work on HC2 also.
