Guide to replaceing plexdrive/unionfs with rclone cache

@Animosity022 thanks for your useful posts. I finally made the switch this week and everything ‘works’ apart from two problems.

Problem 1: it’s taking about 20-45 seconds for files to start playing.

I’ve pretty much copied your setup, so I’m not sure why my times are so bad. My setup is an unRAID server with a E5-2683V3, 64GB ram, running Plex in a docker on a SSD - so I should have enough power. I also got a 200/200 internet connection this week upgraded from 18/1, which is why I’m trying to get this working fully.

Is there something glaringly wrong with my config?

Update: I’m wondering if it’s because I’m playing files that have just been uploaded, so the cache isn’t fully populated???

rclone mount --allow-other --dir-cache-time=160h --cache-chunk-size=10M --cache-info-age=168h --cache-workers=6 --cache-tmp-upload-path /mnt/user/rclone_upload --cache-tmp-wait-time 1m --buffer-size 0M --log-level INFO gdrive_media: /mnt/disks/google_media

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = REDACTED.apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret = REDACTED
scope = drive
root_folder_id = 
service_account_file = 
token = {"access_token":"REDACTED":"REDACTED","expiry":"2018-06-14T19:04:01.421796372+01:00"}

[cache]
type = cache
remote = gdrive:crypt
plex_url = http://192.168.30.90:32400
plex_username = Binson_Buzz
plex_password = REDACTED
chunk_size = 10M
info_age = 48h
chunk_total_size = 32G
plex_token = REDACTED

[gdrive_media]
type = crypt
remote = cache:
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = REDACTED
password2 = REDACTED

Problem 2: Adding files to local temporary path very, very slow

I’m also using the cache-tmp-upload-path feature, but my writes to the temp store are ultra-slow - 2-3MB/s. Do you have this problem as well?

Thanks in advance
