@StSimm1 Thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
I already have video transcode directory set up to the external storage, it’s not video transcodes it’s every other thing that Plex puts into /cache… it all goes into /cache in internal storage and not the cache folder on the specified external drive.
Why does the photo transcoder stuff etc. need to be on the internal storage instead of external? I mean, I find my PMS cache regularly 8+ GB in size and I only have around 5 users. On the Shield TV this is the vast majority of the free space - if I actually used my storage for much else other than Plex I would be continually running out of space despite instructing plex to keep it’s big data on a 1tb removable SSD. Given the fact that the shield uses flash memory for it’s internal storage, churning all of Plex’s cache on internal is also going to wear it out way faster than it otherwise would.
I’m fine with some of the PMS cache data staying on internal, but the stuff with the possibility of getting really big that is constantly changing (like the photo transcoder stuff) really needs to be moved to external when the user has asked plex to put it’s data on the external storage.
