What is the problem you are having with rclone?

3question

  1. Nothing critical but i get this more often than before (read: connection reset by peer) even with default rclone mount. I wonder what cause,it is from my side or google side.
  2. Does –buffer-size give me benefit on mount since i use nvme ssd for cache?
  3. For Jellyfin,does anyone get same like me,jellyfin will do 1gb+ download on every file even i pause it after play?Does first 1gb download because of jellyfin or rclone

???

rclone mount does not download anything on it own.

is the issue that 1GB+ was downloaded from the internet or the size of the flie in the cache is 1GB+ ?
check the jellyfin logs...

not really, i always use -–buffer-size=0, no matter what type of drive is used by the cache.
can search for the forum for discussions about that.

might want to rclone selfupdate

allows for over-mounting. be 1000% sure you need that?

i use my own id client/secret. dont u worry about that

of course it cache,i monitor how much it download. after 1gb,probably not much,maybe 100-200mb,without seeking

im not like some guy want update every single time,it not even old

yes i need

Those are standard network errors, not really related to rclone. It means connectivity broke from client to server.

Updating saves time and fixes problems and makes easier for all parties. If you’d like to request support, we’d like to request you to update as things are solved a lot of times by using the latest version and troubleshooting the latest version is what we’re all trying to do.

Can you explain your use case and why overmounting/hiding makes sense? Generally curious.

i mean it my side or google side,because i seen this on my pc and vps. rarely happen,just curious

Could be any item along the route that is causing the issue as it can be your PC, your ISP, a transient carrier along the path, Google’s API, etc.
