FIXED [Cloud Sync] Waiting to Upload

Looks to have been fixed as of April 23, 2016.
:smiley:

Original Topic:

Guess this is now the place for these types of topics with the closure of the Cloud Sync forum, so here it goes.

For the last few days, I have been unable to upload anything. I’ve tried removing any of the ā€œstuckā€ files, clearing caches, running updates, etc, to then lead up to placing the file back into its normal folder and then letting Plex re-convert and then attempt to upload.

The file itself is only 196MB which a file of that size would normally have taken up to 3 hours at most from conversion to being synced. I’ve tried other videos of varying sizes, but I cannot get anything to upload anymore.

I am using two sources for Cloud Sync, one is a 1TB Dropbox and the other is an unlimited Amazon.
The Dropbox was the first one I had, but as that one was filling up, I ended up just adding on with Amazon’s to not have to go through the hassle of reconverting and reuploading almost 1TB worth of videos.

The Amazon source is currently set as the primary for Plex.

Since the most recent update, I’ve noticed that files don’t always upload (mostly when there are several that need to be uploaded), but typically taking the ones that didn’t upload out, emptying trash, then placing one back in to have them upload one at a time would work.

Things were honestly working far better in the previous update, though already know from past experiences that downgrading does not work.
I always try to stay up-to-date on the software versions, so currently on Version 0.9.16.5.1966-81a3bf0 (latest Plex Pass build as of April 22).

I’m seeing this exact behavior. It is being actively looked at. No specific info on cause or time to fix, but I can assure you it’s been routed to the right dev.

This is the pertinent part of the log:

Good to know, thanks.

Same issue for me.

This is with Plex server (latest Plex Pass version 0.9.16.4) on a synology nas and using Amazon as my only cloud provider. Trying to sync just 1 small file.

(I did check that I can upload files to my Amazon Cloud Account normally, and had no problems doing that)

I have similar entries in the log:

Just updated to 0.9.16.5 and no change, still the same errors…

Same issue for me as well. Tons of ā€œfailed uploadā€ entries. Running version 0.9.16.4 uploading to Amazon

Same problem for me. Any updates anyone?

Can you all check your pending sync’s (Amazon Cloud Drive) again? I had quite a few that just went through last night. I’m checking in w/ dev to see if/what changes were made.

I haven’t tried any new sync’s yet. I’ll do that tonight.

Confirmed with dev that changes were made on the back-end. I had a very significant number of sync’d shows go through so far… I’m going to test some more tonight to see if I encounter any further issues.

Yah, mine seems to be syncing :wink: @BrianAz pass my thanks to dev

Thanks for the feedback!

Appears to be working now.
I let it upload throughout the night about 20 or so different videos, but it looks like 2 of those files (each about 150MB) didn’t upload.

Removing them from the folders that Plex has access to, updating libraries and emptying trash, then placing them back in to reconvert and upload, allowed them through.

Interesting. I’m doing a rather large sync today/tonight. I’ll report back what my results are.

I’m trying to upload a 4.3G movie via Cloud Sync to ACD on a 5Mbps UL line and it’s been sitting for 10hrs and counting, currently at 55%. I don’t see any settings to set bandwidth speed limitations or exclusions but it sure is very slow…

plex sync …Waiting to Upload…???

Here I’ve tried with Dropbox and Google Drive.
Not working with both !
Stucks in Waiting to Upload.
I’ve unninstalled the entire Plex, removed all registers and trashs (cache files), reinstalled everything and… same problem !
I spent two days researching google about this problem, I found many people complaining mainly about integrating with Amazon (which by the way does not exist anymore), but few people complaining about other methods available.
But worst of all is that there is no post even talking about the SOLUTION of the problem.

Any updates on this? I wouldd love to sync to gdrive.

WTF?! Same problem here. Why has this been going on for so long with no love from PLEX? Do they even read these message boards?

Same problem here - first time i’ve tried using cloud sync feature. My account is with google and my google drive is the only one registered with plex. Oh well.

I am also affected.

Have tried (in the last few days):

  • Unlinking and relinking Google Drive in Settings
  • Restarting everything (machine, service etc) repeately
  • Deleting Plex Cloud Sync folder from Google Drive - unlinking and relinking recreated it (as expected)
  • Following an old solution: Unlink, deleted all synced items in Sync settings, remove Cloud Sync from Devices settings screen, relinked, logged out and in, Synced again, waited 2 days, nothing.

Currently, Cloud Sync is not an option at all in my servers dropdown and there are no files in the Plex Cloud Sync Folder on Google Drive.

EDIT: It should be noted that the Accepted Answer that causes the ā€œFIXEDā€ part of the title is not actually a solution
