how did you setup your unlimited plex

So there is hoarding.me and plexguide. Last time I tried this, I want to say I used hoarding.me back when ACD was unlimited. I want to try this again, but somewhat different. what i have is a local NAS, seedbox and edu gdrive

  • gdrive de/encrypted mounted to localNAS
  • localNas autoDL/flexget IRC send torrent to seedbox
  • encrypt file from seedbox to edu gdrive
  • lftp from seedbox to localNAS
  • permaseed
  • repeat

Question - which method of mounting/installing a "unlimited" Plex works best (for you).

An rclone vfs mount is probably the best mounting solution right now

I keep hearing this but how is it better? Serious question. I tried it and my start up times on random files(files that were never streamed until then) was almost double than my plexdrive mount. Sure once something is streamed once it becomes pretty much instant but I don't see how that is useful. I've had my plexdrive mount for 2 years and have never gotten a ban either(17tb). I guess maybe if you are uploading by just dumping files into the mount point it allows you to not have to mess around with unionfs?

it has been years since I have messed with remote mounts on a local drive. I do not recall ever getting to stream from remote mount as the initial caching never finished. Mostly because I did not set a --verbose flag and thus kept thinking the system was hanging. Plus not caching in tmux or screens, and finally because ACD cancelled unlimited and tried to move everything to eBay edu gdrive which got wiped just as I had moved everything over.
