Movie not available mounting google with rclone

General Discussions

Hi,
i’ve mounted my google drive with rclone and created my library pointing to that remote directory.
The scan works fine as plex can find movies, but when i enter the movies a find red flag with the not available.
I mount my google drive with:
nohup rclone mount --allow-other --umask 0 remote:/ /media/Google &

Any idea?
Tnx

Never seen this issue before, if you cd into directory and ls are the files there ?

Yes,all is there.
ls works fine all seems OK, but plex tells movie is unvailable.

Can you tell me how is your settings?

Your files will only be inaccessible for 24 hours.

If you want to use Google Drive & Plex with rclone, you need to significantly reduce folder seeking.

Here’s some advice:

Don’t sync, just upload your files. If you have a local folder, let’s say “Movies”, and a folder on Google Drive “Movies”, and you simply want to upload or move your files to Google Drive, use rclone to upload them, with the added command “–no traverse”. Example usage:

rclone --no-check-certificate --no-traverse --drive-chunk-size=64M --transfers=6 move /home/myuser/Movies google:Data/Movies --exclude .@**

Go into Plex > Settings> Server > Scheduled Tasks > Uncheck:

Remove old cache files every week (possibly)
Refresh local metadata every three days
Update all libraries during maintenance
Upgrade media analysis during maintenance
Refresh metadata periodically
Perform extensive media analysis during maintenance

Do not use --no-modtime when mounting Google Drive, Plex will need to re-analyze your files at every remount because it will believe your files have been in some way modified. General advice: try not to interrupt a library refresh, ever.

Move all of your movie files into a single directory, instead of allowing your Movies to have their own folder. It should be Movies/file.2016.mp4 instead of Movies/file.2016/file.2016.mp4

Do not excessively refresh your Plex library.

Do all of the above and you are unlikely to run into this problem again.
