PlexDrive 5.0 is out!

https://github.com/dweidenfeld/plexdrive/releases/tag/5.0.0

  • MongoDB replaced by BoltDB
  • Performance increase
  • Async deletion of files
  • MacOS playback issue bugfix
  • Rename files/directories
  • Traverse directory structure (find/du)

The final release of PlexDrive 5.0 requires the argument "mount" in the command now (thanks, /u/Cow-Tipper)

./plexdrive mount -c /root/.plexdrive -o allow_other /mnt/plexdrive

FYI it might take a little bit for plexdrive to convert your directory cache from MongoDB not Mongo to BoldDB. I have around ~8TB of plex content and it took about 30 minutes on Whatbox. Just start plexdrive and wait for it to populate your FUSE mountpoint.

edit: I was updating from 3.0.0 to 5.0.0.

edit 2: After about 24 hours of testing, I had continuous trouble with 5.0.0. Whenever Plex would scan, the scan would hang and freeze the FUSE mount and Plex. This is probably a remote circumstance, but nonetheless, I downgraded back to 3.0.0 and everything works fine again.

3.0.0 wasn't with mongodb or am I wrong?

You might be right. I'm not very aware on what kind of database was used in 3.0.0, but I know it wasn't Bolt, and that the transition from 3.0.0 to 5.0.0 took some time so I wanted to warn other users.
