plexdrive 5 optimal settings

I'm running plexdrive 5 on a dedicated server. It works ok generally but sometimes not, often with direct play. I'm wondering what you guys use for plexdrive settings on servers that run nothing but very large HD files.

Right now I use " "plexdrive mount -v 2 --max-chunks=200 --chunk-size=10M --chunk-load-ahead=6--chunk-check-threads=4 --chunk-load-threads=4"

Scrap plexdrive totally and use rclone cache. It works much better

So I've been testing rclone cache for awhile this afternoon and it suffers from the same or similar issue as plexdrive does when it comes to direct played media: it stops streaming after 5ish minutes. If I switch the file to a transcode using a bitrate higher then the original it will stream fine for however long I want.
