Speed disparity between mount and copy

@remus.bunduc

I tested with beta below, i enabled plex integration and plex scanning does seem to be much faster and so far not stalled in one plex section.
However i found two possible issues:

  • on plex playback, the initial buffer is longer than before. And sometimes it looks like it finished downloading buffer but plex won’t play. The only remedy is to close the player and retry again.
    This seems to be similar bug in the past that reoccur again in this beta?
    Basically if it buffers ok, plex will play immediately. If it fails to buffer initially, then even when the buffer fully downloaded plex won’t play the file. I checked via netdata when playing file.
    So the initial buffer status somehow made big difference on plex playback. I’m guessing rclone is a bit slow on verifying actual plex playback as opposed to plex scanning?

  • i cant delete file from plex anymore. When i delete file via plex, say a movie, and i delete via plex web UI or plex android, it looks like its deleted but rclone doesn’t actually delete the file. So on plex service restart plex will find the same file.

I shouldn’t have permission error like above. Prior to rclone 1.40 i could delete files via plex ok.
