Hello. First of all, i have setup with rclone so gdrive → rclone → plex server → plex player. I also have direct play 100% of the time so no transcoding. I’m hosting plex media server on armbian on Banana Pi M1.

Until like 2 days ago everyting was fine. Music played after 3-5 seconds which isn’t optimal but enough. But after then, i decided to rename my music folder for better organising. I also changed path to the music folder so it’s up to date and will not throw errors about it can’t load because source doesn’t exist in that path. But after library rescan, it started to take too long to load the song. For example 10 to 12 seconds. Well, sometimes it loaded after like 5 seconds but most of the time it was 10 to 12. So i decided to make full metadata refresh of whole library. It took several hours over night and at the morning, i tried to play something on PC to check if it helped. Nope. Tried it on different device under different user outside the network (i have remote access) but still the same results. Interesting fact, the video shows i have alongside the artists loads pretty much in 3-5 seconds stable, but music don’t. During this whole process i tried playback also on android and there it took that 3-5 seconds stable as it should. Where can be the issue? I can send logs if you want.
