I am having problems playing 4k files locally, I do not want to create a separate directory to transcoded versions of the 4k files. I just want everything to play how it is and I am sure I can do that, just not sure what's up
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
1.57
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run
rclone cmount -vvv --vfs-cache-mode full GDrive: /Users/Gcache/GDrive
I gotcha, I just wanted to confirm nothing on the rclone side before I made the purchase for a more heavy duty machine. I am running currently on a mac mini 2012 server
There a few ways to transcode as I use hardware transcoding an Intel box:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Is sufficient for me to transcode a handful of streams if I had to from 4K.
You can also look at NVidia card to do it as well. Just depends on how much you want to tinker or plug and play. A low spec server + patched nvidia card is probably the cheapest but requires some tinkering.
I have plex pass and all that so it's enabled, but not helping. I think like you said, it's the processor I am using. Also it's benchmark score is awful compared to yours.
