Rclone Mount Issue

Help and Support
1

Hi all,

I was having speed issues with Rclone Mount and that Plex was taking ages to play a file.

So I deleted my existing Gdrive Remote.

Rebooted.

Re added with a root folder the same as before.

When I play in plex the media is now missing.

If I browse the folder, /media/Plex its now empty?

I can’t seem to get my folder back and now my whole media server is down!

Help!!!

Jon.

OK,

I got this working, however, it now takes an age to load anything…

click play on a movie, 10/15 seconds.

Thought it was plex, tried Emby, its the same.

:frowning: Why.

The whole reason I did this was to see if I could increase speed. When I started using Rclone Mount it would load my files in seconds.

You can adjust the chunk size to something larger than 2M as that’s super tiny.

Rather than tweaking, just remove and start with the defaults.
