Hey all, I've had upgrading my Amahi 7 HDA to version 9 on my to-do list for several months now, and since it's going to be a clean install, I decided to wait until I could afford some hardware upgrades. Well, the time has come. I'm thinking of getting an i3-7100 and a 2-series board, but since it's...

Sure. It'll be a couple of weeks before I'm able to get to it, but I'll be sure to make notes as I go. I'll report back when I'm finished.

wilholt, maybe I'm just a dummy, I dunno. I managed it, too, but it took a lot of Googling.

It's been over a year since I originally got my HDA up and running, so I can't recall any specific examples. I swore I would make detailed notes of my installation experience while it was still fresh in my mind, but my baby girl was born days later, and I never got around to it. I remember having th...

Wasn't sure what category to post in. I figured it's a fairly noob-ish question. I'm running Amahi 7.4.1-1. I discovered there was a Plex update, and then after reading a few posts in the forum, realized I'll have to update to a new Amahi version. I gather version 9 is the most recent? Is it possibl...

bt107: Ideally, I'd like to have two rips of everything in my library: one large, high-quality file with 6-channel sound for viewing at home, and another smaller, lower-quality file with 2-channel sound for when I want to stream remotely. My (limited) understanding is that Plex will intelligently ch...

Thanks for the reply. I've been building PC's for over 10 years, but it turns out I have very little knowledge outside of overclocking CPU's and/or determining the best video card to buy. The Amahi HDA is not only my first foray into establishing a server, but also my first experience outside of Win...

Thank you for the reply. Yes I have. Lots of good information about the CPU horsepower required for Plex transcoding, though not specific to Amahi/Linux. I don't know much about Linux, but I've read many anecdotal reports over the years about how efficiently it manages system resources (like RAM), s...

Nobody eh? Regarding Plex, well, I guess CPU horsepower/transcoding questions are better left for the Plex forums. For what it's worth, I'm now considering a Pentium G4400. I've become increasingly convinced that 4GB of RAM would be sufficient. Still not sure if a single shares drive is sufficient t...

Hey guys, So, I've been running Amahi for a little over a year now. Very happy with it when I'm the only one wanting to use it (do a lot of movie streaming through Plex), but encounter problems if my son, for example, attempts to stream something else at the same time. I'm running it on old, low-end...

Well, it's working now. Still away from home, but now on a different unsecured network, and everything works fine. Logging in to the HDA, accessing files, etc. Guess there was something about the previous network that was causing problems. Sorry to waste your time. To answer your question, I'm on Wi...
