I recently discover Rclone, I want to replace my local storage by amazon drive my connection (400mbits down/60mbits up). So i install rclone create a new remote acd and a second one encrypt.
Even when i put a movie on the acd remote, when i start it from plex it start but after some time it’s stop …
In the log of plex i got in infinite loop with this message : We want 360 seconds ahead, last returned was 230.000000 and max is 621.788000.
CPU load isn’t big 10-20%. I don’t know what i miss or where to look.
I mount the encrypt folder with : rclone mount --allow-non-empty --allow-other --read-only --max-read-ahead 14G --acd-templink-threshold 0 -vv --debug-fuse --dump-headers --log-file rclone.log encrypt: /mnt/encrypt/
When i transcode it’s seem to work well but not when i direct play
Why the scanner my test is only with one movie. For instance I copy a single movie in the ACD directory mounted and i set this directory as a Library in plex. If i read this movie (8Go) in direct play it’s go well few second (the movie is playing) but it got stuck. But if i transcode it the movie play fine (720p 8mbits).
I try to user buffer command and it’s the same problem
Can you share the rclone log? I moved away from ACD as the service was too sporadic for me as it seems to be having some capacity issues. You can see in the log if you are getting timeouts on playing or if it’s having issues buffering the file up.
No, you should be able to direct play without an issue. At 1.5.5 it did fix the /dev/shm issue that was previous before.
You aren’t light on memory and swapping or anything with using /dev/shm?
I had no problems with streaming or direct play as long as ACD was behaving, but it doesn’t seem you are seeing any time outs or anything along those lines.
What does your server log say when you are playing?
which log plex ? (Plex media server.log???)
I don’t understand i just disable Direct play and it’s ok …; But like I said CPU usage isn’t the same at all
enable DEBUG logging in PMS and the MDE information will show up in the server logs.
The MDE (Media Decision Engine) will tell you exactly why it is transcoding the file.
On plex how can i connect to an annother Windows to monitor ?
I don’t understand today it’s working fine with the same file … No transcoding … No explanation …

But i still got some buffering and I don’t know why in log of rclone they are no problem. And the log of plex its just too much verbose to find something.
When i monitor my cpu they are 5% on rclone mount when it’s buffering i suppose that is the problem of buffering …
Is that a problem if the RAM is fill more than 70% ?
or where to look.
why its work when it’s transcoding (this log is the direct play when its stuck)
