Anyone experiencing play back issues with nvidia shield plex client with this setup?  I keep getting "Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video”

 

 

No, did you put the shield on wifi? If so that's probably the issue. Or are you playing 4k movies? The shield doesn't need transcode so it will play on full quality which can be taxing on your bandwidth depending on your file size.

I get this too. Its nothing to do with rclone and the setup, as local files do the same. Im wired with gig connection. There seems to be quite a bit on the forums about shield and plex and this issue. If i watch my network usage, i see good spike while it buffers to the shield, with bursts every few seconds then all of a sudden the bursts fall away and you get a low throughput rate until you get the message and playback stops. The same video will work some times, other times not. I can go weeks with it being ok, then i get it a few times a day. Search the nvidia and plex forums, its well documented with no consistent fix.

This is hard wired 1Gbps link.  Am I right to assume with the gdrive mount the files are downloaded and then served to my nvidia shield locally from my plex server?  My WAN uplink should have no impact here correct?

Normally plex shoudl check its LAn and sent via LAN but it COULD go over WAN if it doesnt work (i dont know if that works with shield anyway)

 

Just check if you have upload on yoru router while you stream to shield.

New problem popped up last night. Updated to 6.7, rebooted a few times, and ran into a new problem

 

/mount_rclone/google_vfs/[all shares] loads the few files I've put there, but /mount_unionfs/google_vfs/ loads the share folders (movies, tv shows) but doesn't load the contents. I tried deleting the folders in google_vfs but that didn't help.

 

Here is the new error (from the mount script):

 

INFO: mounting rclone vfs.
Fatal error: Can not open: /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs: open /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs: transport endpoint is not connected
CRITICAL: rclone gdrive vfs mount failed - please check for problems.
rm: cannot remove '/mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running': No such file or directory
Script Finished Mon, 03 Jun 2019

 

after a reboot I get this error:

INFO: mounting rclone vfs.
INFO: Check rclone gdrive vfs mount success.
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
CRITICAL: unionfs Remount failed.
rm: cannot remove '/mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running': No such file or directory
Script Finished Mon, 03 Jun 2019 

 

It looks like I can see the mounted files inside /mount_clone but they aren't appearing in /mount_unionfs.

you've got something in /mount_unionfs/google_vfs/ prior to the unionfs mount being created so it fails.  Manually delete whatever's in there (be sure you don't want first!)

hello, i just suscribed g suite for upload my plex file to google. I try your logs. But i don't understand everything

 

here is the log errors for mount : https://d.pr/i/TOnFob

 

the config file : https://d.pr/i/e1UKZ7

 

the mount script i copy cut from github

same for unmount script

 

the user scripts from your github : https://d.pr/i/zXBbPD

 

the mountcheck : https://d.pr/i/mPJajO

the # rclone config : https://d.pr/i/G4Nkjo https://d.pr/i/2zFfSt  https://d.pr/i/5wZd4M https://d.pr/i/xEM4h6  

  for encrypted : https://d.pr/i/3AeNBo

 

I am a noob with coding and totally lost :)

 

thanking you in advance,

 

regards

 

 

edit : i have an upload correct now  to gdrive but still have some issues

 

 

1- an error with gdrive vfs https://d.pr/i/giI75Z i thin i made something wrong with configuration https://d.pr/i/SIneHX or here https://d.pr/i/BRYENB need help on this point

2- in krusader i have this : https://d.pr/i/wPGRY6  and this in the crypt file https://d.pr/i/KTUGSU

 

first question what is the first strange file?

second question the file crypt appears in gdrive https://d.pr/i/yZjjd0 but i can see the file, is it normal or should be crypt?

3- my main objective is to upload all my plex files to gdrive with crypt for being invisible to google but accessible to me everywhere, is it ok with my configuration rclone?

4- how to upload everything from my unraid library to my gdrive crypt folder without copy from krusader to local? i want to save space in my server. As i understand, if i copy to disks->gdrive->crypt, it take space on my server, am i right?

5- last question, how i acces to this file from plex server to gdrive?

 

it took me 9 hours to have a connection so please be kind with me

 

thanks for your work and help

 

edit 2: i redo every thing and reboot, i have this : https://d.pr/i/QRZ2Gd

Everybody's nice on this forum!

 

Can you post your rclone config file (remember to remove any passwords), mount script and the log with any errors in the thread please.  It's easier to follow and I couldn't open your links anyway, although it could be because I'm on my work laptop which is seriously locked down.

you need to install nerdtools to then install unionfs - see the first post for the 'optional plugins' section

fixed - my mistake - an error sneaked in on github https://github.com/BinsonBuzz/unraid_rclone_mount/blob/master/rclone_mount.  you need to add a new section at the start of your mount script -

your first run was actually successful.  What failed was the docker start command as you don't have those dockers or they have slightly different names on your server.  Remove or edit

I'm not really sure what happened on the 2nd run...I think your first mount is lingering somewhere.  Manually run:

 

fusermount -uz /mnt/user/mount_unionfs/google_vfs
fusermount -uz /mnt/user/mount_rclone/google_vfs

before running the mount script again.  Once you've edited the docker lines and added the missing section to the mount script you should be good to go as long as you've used the latest upload script from github

This thread has got a lot more action than I or @Kaizac or @slimshizn probably ever hoped for.  There's been a lot of action getting people up and running, so I'm wondering how some of the people in the background are getting on? 

 

How intensively are other people using rclone?  Have you moved all your media?  How are you finding the playback experience?

 

Personally, I don't have any plex content on my unRAID server anymore, except for my photos and I've now got over 300TB of Plex content stored on gdrive, as well as another big crypt with my backups (personal files, VM images etc).  I don't even notice the impact of streaming anymore and when I do have any skips, I actually think they are because of local wi-fi issues rather than rclone.

That's fine.  What's supposed to happen is the /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running file gets removed when you run the unmount script either at shutdown or array start.  Just manually delete it for now: /mnt/user/appdata/other/rclone/rclone_mount_running

 

I designed the mount script this way so you can run it on a cron job to auto remount if the mount ever fails.  This check makes sure that 2 instances of the script don't run at the same time
