Plex server with Amazon drive - rclone crypt vs encFS speed

Hey @ncw

I’m back with my hopefully 2nd to last post for this topic.

I am quite confident the fix for the stream+corruption bug you did for v1.33-81-g9d2dd2c seems to have resolved pretty much all my problems.

I had 5 streams running from an rclone encrypted mount point, no dropped frames and I was actively monitoring the Plex log and the buffer stayed full on all the streams (so it was successfully pulling segments).

I will do another test this weekend with 6+ streams (the 5 I did were from my own house), but I am expecting it should be positive.

Caveat of course is that skipping ahead isn’t as fast as EncFS over an rclone non-encrypted mount. If you ever want the rclone log file from a stream from Plex (just to see how much Plex is accessing the file), I can PM you a snippet. But just to let you know that the rclone log fills very quickly when streaming with Plex.

Hoping to see some more tuning and improvements to the streaming and FUSE you were talking about soon!

Cheers,
