Issues with Plex and CloudDrive


Freppa

Question

Hi,

 

First off - I love the solution that is created with Clouddrive.

I have this solution mounted with Plex where the clouddrive is connected to Amazon Cloud Drive, and apart from it disconnecting from time to time, it is working fairly well.

However I would like to have some input on how to optimize Plex and/or Clouddrive in order to get a stable viewing session.

My current setup is 250/100 Down/Up, I have all movies converted to M4V format thus being able to play natively on the different ipads/computers/TV's in the house (direct viewing instead of transcoding). However when I try to view a movie the download starts very slowly and often download doesn't go over 25-30mbit/s. I am able to max the line when uploading, but downloading is no go. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: Perhaps should add that I put (following recommendation in another thread) pre-fetching to 1mb, forward to 400mb and time to 300sek (not sure what the last one does)

Google Drive runs perfect for me. 20 MB chunks 400 MB prefetch which triggers at 1 MB.

 

I get around 300-400 mbit download

 

I have gigabit and i can't pull 300-400 on google drive. Using a student unlimited account. And have you tried watching while running uploads?

Grab this version then: 

http://dl.covecube.com/CloudDriveWindows/beta/download/StableBit.CloudDrive_1.0.0.784_x64_BETA.exe

 

It should fix the performance issues.

Drashna,

Tried the latest version and it seems to work well. Initial download seems delayed (I.e. start a film, wait <=7seconds before any type of download of information starts), however I now almost max my line accordingly (it fluxuates between 120-180mbit/s) . Cheers!

Fantastic, glad to hear it!

 

Howeve, as for that 7 second delay, ... that's not really ideal... 

 

Have you tried increasing the prefetching settings to help reduce that? 

 

And could you do this:

Specifically, enable the tracing, reproduce the issue, and then immediately stop the logging.

Missed this one, but might as well reply!

 

I can upload fine while watching.

 

I have upload verification on, but only have set upload threads to 10 while download threads is set to 20. This way there is always 10 threads dedicated for watching - works for me :)

This x100

I'm on the latest version (802) and it fixed (close enough) my download issues. It fluctuates between 6-14 MB/s (60-100 Mb/s) on Amazon Cloud Drive  :)  :)  :)

 

Edit: I have Download threads set to 20. 4 gives me max 3.5-5 MB/s. 20 threads gives me 6-14 MB/s
