Help and Support

try to setup a crypt.
if you have questions, let us know.

then we can work on getting plex to see the crypt.

25

Hi, I have set up the remote crypt using the guide you linked to and I can see it under my list of current remotes.

Name Type
==== ====
Cloud onedrive
gdrive drive
secret crypt

e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
e/n/d/r/c/s/q>

Could you help me linking it to plex and also is it possible to map it to my computer so I can see it like a normal external drive?

26

did you check the new remote?
do a rclone ls secret: and post the command and output

if that works, copy a media file into it, so there will be something for plex to see

then install http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/rel/

27

I'm getting this when I do "rclone ls secret:"

C:\rclone>rclone ls secret:
2020/06/02 16:31:37 Failed to ls: directory not found

28

you might need to create the bucket that the crypt is pointed to

can you post

rclone config show secret
secret not secret: no colon in the remote name

and
rclone config show gdrive

29

C:\rclone>rclone config show secret

[secret]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive:/files
filename_encryption = obfuscate
directory_name_encryption = true
password = xxxxxxx
password2 = xxxxxxxx

C:\rclone>rclone config show gdrive

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret =
scope = drive
token =
root_folder_id =

30

sorry, you need to edit that post, redacted the ids and passwords.

31

there is a mismatch in the name of the bucket.
config file has lowercase files' bucket name in gdrive is uppercase Files`

32

C:\rclone>rclone lsd gdrive:
-1 2020-06-02 16:06:07 -1 Files

33

there is a mismatch in the name of the bucket.
config file has lowercase files
bucket name in gdrive is uppercase Files

also in the config file, the remote is
gdrive:/files
but there should not be a /
gdrive:files

34

Ok so how can I fix it, do I need to redo it?

35

edit the remote using rclone config

36

Ok so I ended up deleting that remote crypt and I am doing it again, I think I am doing something wrong when I enter the path of the remote crypt. I am putting in gdrive:files but do I need to put something else in here?

37

the folder in google drive is Files, not files
so i would use gdrive:Files

39

as long as the two match, it should work.

so you know what's next, test the new remote
rclone ls secret:

40

C:\rclone>rclone ls secret
2020/06/02 18:01:20 ERROR : : error listing: directory not found
2020/06/02 18:01:20 Failed to ls with 2 errors: last error was: directory not found

C:\rclone>rclone ls secret:

C:\rclone>

When I am typing rclone ls secret: it just shows nothing but I don't have anything in that file yet.

41

good, now you have a working crypt!

copy a media file into the secret:, something that plex could stream.

rclone copyto c:\path\to\media\media.mp4 secret: -vv
-vv will output more information.

42

I don't think it worked:

C:\rclone>rclone copyto C:\Users\xxxxxxxxxx\Desktop\media\film.avi secret: -vv

There is nothing in the folder Files on my gdrive

43

sorry try
rclone copyto C:\Users\xxxxxxxxxx\Desktop\media\film.avi secret:/media/film.avi -vv

44

Still getting the same error, is my path too long?

C:\rclone>rclone copyto C:\Users\xxxxxxxxxxxx\Desktop\media\film.avi secret:/mediafilm.avi -vv
