Yes that’s what I’m afraid of. When sharing my plex library with friends and family I’m finding direct play is difficult due to the different media players they have (some just use the smart tv). I was hoping to be able to transcode on the fly and was wondering if emby supports this on the Helios platform...

Has anyone used the Helios for any media transcoding? I use plex and have researched that it doesn’t support arm based transcoding. I have read that emby does support it. I’m not looking for a whole lot of horsepower but hoping I can transcode 1080p vids for remote viewing. Any pointers would be great....

What is the connection like between your power cable and the power brick? I found mine was a little loose there.

Yes I upgrade to OMV 4.

FIY my PWM fan issue has now been resolved. I used 2x AVC DS07015R12L 70mm fans. They work a treat (almost silent). I have hit another snag however. I can't seem to set a static IP only dhcp. I have followed the wiki but after i "sudo reboot" it seems the static settings are lost. The Helios4 welcome screen shows no IP and opening the armbian-config shows "Warning. Configurator can't work properly without internet connection. Press CTRL C to stop to stop or any key to ignore and continue." I have taken a look into /etc/network/interfaces and the file is as below # armbian-config created source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Local loopback auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Interface eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 no-auto-down eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 24 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 I must be missing something here. ... a quick update ... I put the armbian config back to dhcp, then logged into OMV and manually added eth0 with static settings and it seems to have taken?

No I didn’t use one of the kit fans silly me. Will try that. The .rules file was there already. Will report in a couple days Further testing indicates it is indeed the fan. The single stock fan works a charm..... Thanks again for your help.

I'm using Helios4_Debian_Jessie_4.14.20-OMV_3.0.97.img.xz ....Just an update.. I've followed the linked blog post but changing the values doesn't seem to make any difference. I have updated the kernel and running the command "uname -a" gives the output "Linux helios4 4.14.18-mvebu #22 SMP Fri Feb 9 10:41:38 CET 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux". For the 4.14 kernel i changed the values to # Helios4 PWM Fan Control Configuration # Temp source : /dev/thermal-cpu INTERVAL=10 FCTEMPS=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=/dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=/dev/thermal-cpu/temp1_input MINTEMP=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=55 /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=55 MAXTEMP=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=95 /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=95 MINSTART=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=50 /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=50 MINSTOP=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=50 /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=50 MINPWM=/dev/fan-j10/pwm1=50 /dev/fan-j17/pwm1=50 but this seems to have made not difference upon rebooting. Running sudo fancontrol Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...

I have also installed the "Helios4_Debian_Jessie_4.4.110-OMV_3.0.96.img" image instead. Ran sudo fancontrol and the output is below (I would have thought the results below mean the fans could be turned off. sudo fancontrol Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...

Bad fans? They are 4 pin but perhaps they don't support PWM.

Ok thanks for letting me know. This is the first time I’ve used omv with a single board setup. I did notice the flash memory plugin enabled but didn’t put the 2 together :)

Hi gprovost, Fans have been replaced. Finally got this baby setup (although it was a little trickier for me as I dont have a windows/linux machine handy, just my mac). A couple quick questions.... I'm using OMV v3 but have noticed none of the performance graphs (under system information) are generating graphs. Also the fans seem to be running at full speed. Is there a way to fix this (I tried the steps earlier in the thread to no avail). Cheers

Hey I pulled open my kit today excited to assemble. To my disappointment one of the fans is broken (fins are snapped). Does anyone have a link where I can purchase a replacement pwm fan? I've taken a look on aliexpess and ebay but can find an exact mate. This seems a close match. EC21 has the exact model I believe but I have never ordered from them. Any advice would be great. Regards G ... just an update. I had a quick email reply from kobal. Ordered some new fans, fingers crossed
