so when i use --vfs-cache-mode=off i also have to delete --dir-cache-time and --vfs-cache-max-age and --vfs-cache-max-size also dont need to mention a cache directory?
well, i am not suggesting you change your current rclone mount command.
in fact, in your case, not a good idea.
i was just pointing out that the vfs file cache is not needed for streaming from cloud to local.
when i stream, my rclone mount is --read-only
only streaming from cloud to local,
never copying from local to cloud.
whereas with your mount, it is for streaming from cloud to local AND copy files from local to cloud.
ops its bit hard to understand for me, what changes i have to make to play video from dropbox that are not in rclone cache?
i only want to archive play video from cloud and now i realise it was only playing from cache,
Thanks
so you want to direct stream from dropbox to local, not to store that in the cache?
my main goal is store a lot of video on dropbox and play them when someone request, if during play they save in local cache i dont care, i have some hundred gb space on my server,
but should be playable all videos that are stored on cloud.
streaming will work just fine using your current command.
if true, then what is the problem you are trying to solve?
file cache directory have a limit 100gb in my case, latest 100gb videos are in cache, old videos are deleted from cache directory, and when they are not in local cache directory they are not playable, this is issue
then increase it.
if you want to stream videos direct from dropbox and not have rclone store them temporarily in the local vfs file cache
then switch from
--vfs-cache-mode=full
to
--vfs-cache-mode=writes

@asdffdsa above no play complaint was my fault, i apologize for that,
Every thing is working perfect, checking last few days and all perfect,
Now i want to move on next stage, can i mount my dropbox with more then one server? means i mounted dropbox and uploaded videos and now playing them via webpage for example domain1.com. and can i use another server and mount same dropbox with second server and point second domain like domain2.com and play videos that are uploaded via server 1?
yes, you can run the same rclone mount command on two servers.
and let's say there is a media file named movie.mkv,
you can watch the movie on both servers at the same time.
