Rclone dont make stream file to vlc

Alessandro_Congiu · June 18, 2023, 10:40am

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

The files in the folder are there, doing a terminal check (using ls), but when I copy the link to vlc to play it, it doesn't play it (I've tried it on others as well)

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.62.2

os/version: raspbian 11.7
os/kernel: 6.1.21-v7+ (armv7l)
os/type: linux
os/arch: arm (ARMv7 compatible)
go/version: go1.20.2
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Streamtape

could you provide all details? are you using mount? then provide mount command and rclone.conf and results of mount with -vv

Alessandro_Congiu · June 18, 2023, 12:46pm

Hi, thanks for responding

I mounted it with the webGUI, so I can't provide commands, what I can say is that I left everything in the default settings except, in the "mount" section, creating a new mount, I set "ReadOnly" to yes (since doing tests it didn't show the files by doing "ls" on the terminal, while setting it to true did)

Just to be as detailed as possible, what I want to do is this: at the moment I have a jellyfin server hosted on raspberry with all the media, anticipating that a lot of additional media will arrive and that 1tb is not enough for the content that will arrive, I decided to use streamtape's ftp ( which is """unlimited""" ), mounting the ftp to a folder, to be then set to jellyfin.

Before linking the folder to jellyfin, I wanted to do a test with vlc, to see if the file would play, by copying the link from filezilla and pasting it into vlc, vlc manages to make the connection, since it asks me for username and ftp pass but then stops not playing the file

So I decided to don't use vlc and focus on jellyfin, apparently the folder can find it, but it can't show the files or folders inside it

kapitainsky · June 18, 2023, 12:51pm

default mount options do not support streaming.

you have to mount your remote with minimum cache mode --vfs-cache-mode writes

kapitainsky · June 18, 2023, 12:53pm

You should play your files from your mount not from ftp server.

Alessandro_Congiu · June 18, 2023, 12:54pm

Since I don't know what is the right command to do, could you please give me the basis of the command to do?

Alessandro_Congiu · June 18, 2023, 12:55pm

I meant that from the section to enter the folder, in jellyfin, where to take the media from, I selected the mounted folder

kapitainsky · June 18, 2023, 12:55pm

You can start with:

rclone mount remote: /path/to/mountpoint --vfs-cache-mode writes --vfs-cache-max-size 100G

kapitainsky · June 18, 2023, 1:00pm

Actually for your purpose - watching media from remote I would use --vfs-cache-mode full

Here you are example of more complex but good mount settings:

I tried to enter the command above, opening the folders from filezilla I notice that it has been mounted, since you can see all the subfolders, but the files inside are not there

kapitainsky · June 18, 2023, 1:18pm

Now post:

your rclone.config file

run rclone mount streamtape:/ /home/a/streamtape1 --vfs-cache-mode writes --vfs-cache-max-size 100G -vv and post results

but if i check on filezilla:

Now when you connect to this ftp site using FileZilla do you see all files?

Alessandro_Congiu · June 18, 2023, 1:41pm

This is using directly the streamtape's ftp
