- Storage Limit slider → Shows current free space and not total space of external SD card.
That’s actually by design. The iOS app has had that behavior for over a year now and there haven’t been any major complaints, so we thought it didn’t make sense to do things differently.
Well here is one disadvantage to this scenario. Say I have 10gb/32gb of “free” space now. I am able to designate 10gb for plex. I perform some syncing and synced ~8gb of videos to it. So now plex has “2gb/10gb” free and my system also have “2gb/32gb” free. If I were to free up some space on my system (outside of plex) I would be unable to use it in plex. Say if I delete 6gb from my system, I will have 8gb/32gb of free space (6gb + 2gb that was free initially). However I would be unable to increase the storage limit that can be used by plex as 8gb of free space is less than the 10gb that was initially assigned. So now, even though I have 6gb of extra free space outside of plex, I cannot utilize them due to me not being able to increase the slider past 10gb i.e. I want to use 10gb of initial free space + 6 gb of extra free space to have a total of 16gb for plex.
A simpler example might be
0) have 10gb of free space on device.
- sync 10gb of files to plex.
- sync 10gb worth of files to plex → device have 0gb of free space now.
- free up some space outside of plex. → say we delete a 5gb file, we now have 5gb free space on device
- we should now be able to assign “15gb” to plex but slider stills limit to “10gb” as free space is less than “10gb”.
This issue was not present in sync 4.X as it showed the total space of the external SD card.
@ManuelPG this post should be related to the scenario described above.
