Strange PLEX behaviour when switching from ACD to GDrive


Freppa

Question

Hi,

 

After trying with ACD I got sick of all the throttling and decided to get a GDrive account. I have a 1gb/1gb line and have now have all data on Gdrive, however now Plex takes forever to start. 

With ACD it took around 12 seconds to start a movie and scrolling would take as long (prefetch 600mb) and I would max around 80Mbps.

With GDrive it takes around 45 seconds to start a movie, but it basically is downloading the whole movie (prefetch 600mb) and I max around 350mbps.

I haven't changed anything on Plex and the only difference I can see between ACD and Gdrive (apart from the lack of throttling - thank God) is that I had ACD set at 50mb chunks, with Gdrive I can only set 20mb chunks (storage).

 

Any thoughts?

 

I am also concerned that I cannot max the line or at least come close. I have real time download speeds at around 800mbps but with Stablebit and Gdrive i cannot get it over 350 ul/dl.

 

/F

Other than maybe larger size for the "Minimum download size" and increasing the number of download threads (slowly increase it), no, I don't have other suggestions. 

 

That said, if you can reliably reproduce the issue (it sounds like it), then please do this:

And:

And then reproduce the issue.  This way, we can see what is going on, and maybe help diagnose/fix the issue.

I think I'm coming closer to the issue: It seems that there is a delay with G-drive for when it starts. 

If I start a copy, it takes 10 seconds before it starts executing upon it.

If I start a Plex-task, it takes 15 seconds before anything is happening on G-drive

If I run a movie via VLC, it's down to 10 seconds before anything happens.

 

I have tried towards my Amazon and there is like 1-2 seconds delay according to the schedule above.

Could you do this, then:

Reproduce the behavior with the tracing enabled, and submit it to us.
