October 16Oct 16 Hi everyone! Let me begin by saying I'm not a developer so I had to rely on our AI overlords to help build this. It's based on Alturismo's cache-mover, just a improved version. With that out of the way, I hope you guys find this plugin useful!It's updated to work with Jellyfin 12, but I’ve tested it on Emby and Plex.What it does? I'll quote the github page. Watches what your media server (Jellyfin, Emby or Plex) is playing through its API.Copies the playing file or folder from the array onto your cache pool with option to skip previous episodes.Switches the media server's open file handles to the cache copy while playback continues, so the array disks can spin down.Keeps cached folders on the mover exclusion list, so the mover does not undo the work. Requires CA Mover Tuning.A scheduled cleaner releases folders that have been idle long enough: files with an identical copy on the array are removed from the cache, everything else stays for the mover.Everything runs on your own schedule (copy every N minutes, clean daily/weekly), can be started by hand from the webui, and is logged to a quiet plugin log with a live status strip and cancel button.Playback Cache Edited October 18Oct 18 by adolfotregosa
October 17Oct 17 What is actually different between the two versions besides "just a improved version" ?

October 17Oct 17 Am I understanding this correctly—that no further episodes of a series will be cached in advance?-faxxe

Basically whatever is in that folder at the time. New episodes don’t need caching: Unraid already writes them to the pool, as long as the share’s “Primary storage (for new files and folders)” is the same pool that Playback Cache uses.

October 18Oct 18 Author New option to skip previous episodes for tvshows. The idea is to only cache the current episode and the following ones.
October 18Oct 18 Author Maybe I explained it badly...Playback caches the season folder. When someone watches something, playback cache, caches everything on the folder with possibility for exceptions using "Never cache these".
