I’m not certain if this is where I should be asking, but it didn’t really make sense in any other area of the forums.
With the announcement that Plex Server would soon be available to run on Amazon servers, I decided to begin uploading my movies/tv shows to my Amazon Cloud Drive.
I like to rip my blu rays and store the entire ripped MKV on my Plex server at home to keep as much quality as I can, this means most movies are 20GB+.
I’m currently using Amazon’s own desktop Windows app to upload my movies Amazon Cloud Drive. I’ve noticed that Amazon does a great job uploading most files under ~3GB (30 minute tv episodes). I start to see files fail (I’d roughly estimate 75% of the time) to upload when loading files larger than that to my Cloud Drive, usually not failing until it gets to 100% uploaded.
Is anyone else having this issue and has anyone found a way a round it?
Seems we are on the same path. I decided to get a jump start on uploading my content as well. I started with TV Shows, Documentaries, and Stand-Up comedy. All was going great until I started with my movie library. My movies are MKV rips that usually average 4 to 8GB each. Seems to be anything above 4GB uploads to 100% and then fails. I have tried the simple solutions of restarting and so far, seems to be repeating the upload failures.
A lot of us use rclone to upload content to ACD. I’ve had no issues using it to upload full bluray remuxes (20GB+). It will likely be faster than the official Amazon tool as well.
Since ACD puts deleted files in the trash and does not permanently delete unless you manually do so via their web GUI, I use sync. Currently I run a Movies and TV job via a nightly script @ around 2am to keep my home and ACD content in sync.
