Ubuntu Connection with Plex

Yes, perform your rclone mount now and let PMS try to use it.

Let’s see what happens.

withe the root user, or dexx User?
should I then create a /home/dexx/Multimedia folder again`?

mount it at /home/multimedia like we set up.

Mount it as the root user.

Permissions of /home/multimedia should be 755 before the mount
Permissions of /home/multimedia should be 755 after the mount

Ok is Mounting

Mhh in /home/ ist not the “multimedia”:

I have restart the PMS

When i use in PMS only “/” for the Media Search, i find 6 Files:

This is the console:

Something is wrong with /home and ‘/’ permissions.

This is from my Ubuntu Server installation.

You can see /home.
Permissions for / are 755
Permissions for /home are 755

Here it is clear, Plex can see /home.

mhh how can i change it?
i have make now :

sudo chmod 755 /home/multimedia
sudo chmod 755 /
sudo chmod 755 /home/

I have another Linux server from a different provider

Try the other provider – OR – try Ubuntu.

it is Ubuntu

i have now a new pms installed , but i cant add new Sources?

SSH tunnel to it , use :

It is remote. Standard claiming rules apply again…

now i see more in the new Ubunut Server and Plex

I have the rclone Job in Backround it is enough?
I have activated the daily search in pms

If you want rclone to startup every time the system starts (which is logical),

Add the command to launch rclone in /etc/rc.local ( executable script file you create )

This way, every startup will execute the rclone mount command however you want it.

An alternative way is to create a systemd service in /etc/systemd/system

I would call it /etc/systemd/system/marco-rclone.service

You then create a basic service file with ExecStart and ExecStop definitions so you can mount & unmount as you need.

uuii complicated
Is it normal for some movies to lag at 2160p?
the buffer is very low

@marco_6118

Depending on network/connection speeds between server and player AND bitrate of video being played, yes it is possible.

You’re using FTP to pull the media file contents. FTP isn’t quick. HTTPS would be much faster on the same connection.

The buffer in the player is device-dependent. Each device limits how much memory the player can have/use

How can I switch to Https?

mmh today is the Connection Lost.
I have restart the Plex Server and the Server.
The Rclone is mounted.
But I keep getting the message that playback is not working.

Plex say, the file are not ready
