Hey guys,
since I slimmed down my setup (thrown out Plexdrive and moved from UnionFS to MergerFS) I rather was into testing streaming and general usage.
Homeserver:
- 100Mbit down
- Debian 10
- Gdrive crypt
So I tested 4k streaming and have chosen a very recent movie which wants about 50Mbit. While I could see via Netdata that the server mostly used 90+Mbit I experienced a few lags which slighty affected a nice watch.
- Plex on LG OLED C8 WebOS = Just a few lags
- Plex on Nvidia Shield System = Considered unwatchable
- Plex on Nvidia Shield Kodi = Messed up picture and sound for like 30 seconds after each lag
While I assume that is just about the client caching and I could live with it to watch via the TV-Plex, I have to admit that it works just fine when streaming from my rent dedicated Server tho.
Anyway is there any optimization I can do?

In the next case I just want to get rid of the testfiles in one directory, but I can't since the rclone mount is RO. And ofc I can't find out via Gdrive website because of the encryption. What is the recommended usecase here? I mean I could maybe live with that I can't delete a torrent via the rutorrent Web-UI but do I need another RW rclone mount then?
In that case I also want to question the upload folder. Couldn't files placed in a RW rclone mount be encrypted and uploaded automatically so I also can manage the torrents conpletely from the web?
Slightly regarding the last question of managing torrents, I yesterday added 35 torrents in one go and found out today that just a few downloaded, some already have downloaded partly and others stick to 0%. And while each torrent has several seeders, even up to over 200, they don't really download. Like 4 torrents currently show a download of 0.2KB/s to 0.8KB/s, others don't download at all eventhough there are dozens of seeders. And I wonder if it could be because the upload-script already uploaded and rtorrent maybe can't handle that? The upload script runs every 5 min uploading files older than 5 min. Looks like rtorrent doesn't keep up the timestamp of unfinished torrents if they are not downloading. But if that is the case I also doubt only running it once per night won't do the work either, there may be torrents with just 1 home-PC-seeder and therefor it may take days until it's finished....
Edit: I just rechecked and it looks like the timestamp of the files which still show as downloading with the very slow speed don't update, they have the timestamp from yesterday.
Upload-script:
#!/bin/bash
# RCLONE UPLOAD CRON TAB SCRIPT
# Type crontab -e and add line below (without # )
# * * * * * root /home/scripts/upload-m.cron >/dev/null 2>&1
if pidof -o %PPID -x "upload-auto.cron"; then
exit 1
fi
LOGFILE="/home/scripts/logs/upload-auto.cron.log"
FROM="/mnt/google/auto/"
TO="auto-gd:/"
# CHECK FOR FILES IN FROM FOLDER THAT ARE OLDER THEN 15 MINUTES
if find $FROM* -type f -mmin +5 | read
then
echo "$(date "+%d.%m.%Y %T") RCLONE UPLOAD STARTED" | tee -a $LOGFILE
# MOVE FILES OLDER THEN 5 MINUTES
rclone move $FROM $TO -c --no-traverse --transfers=300 --checkers=300 --delete-after --delete-empty-src-dirs --min-age 5m --log-file=$LOGFILE
echo "$(date "+%d.%m.%Y %T") RCLONE UPLOAD ENDED" | tee -a $LOGFILE
fi
exit
Is anyone having suggestions, tipps, similiar usecases? I would be glad to solve all that finally.
