I tried it but I get the following error

Cliparr could not open any playback stream. Preview stream failed: Cannot decode avc video in this browser. Cannot decode aac audio in this browser. Source stream failed: Cannot decode avc video in this browser. Cannot decode aac audio in this browser.

I’m honestly unsure of how to troubleshoot since I don’t really get what the problem is, the browser works fine with jellyfin, tried a handful of videos and in both firefox and chromium. I’m not knowledgeable enough to solve it.

Have seen similar comments on that specifically on mint before, does mint have a particular problem with it? I used timeshift to restore manjaro a couple of times and it was very confusing but I assumed it was just me.

Thanks, I have my important files manually backed up every now and then on two different drives in my desktop, this idea is part of moving away from stressing so much and I’m probably going to abandon the raid idea for the near future and instead do scheduled backups (and maybe checkups?). I’ll keep in mind all that stuff about temps too when I do get an oportunity to make a suitable raid array build (without individual usb controllers between the drives and the server).

I have checked my data recently, haven’t found any issues. I appreciate all the info and help!

Didn’t know about this, it is at 8 GB of ddr3, couldn’t find a bigger stick and it doesn’t have more than one slot. I’m updating the post to address other responses. Thanks
