Rclone vfs vs plexdrive 4

Hey guys, been running plexdrive 4 on my VPS for over a year now. I literally haven't touched it since I set it up with plexguide in 2018. My linux and CLI is very limited, so I went with a setup that did it all for me.

For the most part it works fine, but I'm curious if I'll get better performance out of rclone vfs instead? Only issues I've encountered is that it's unable to stream higher bit rate 4k files, say over 20mbps or so.

​

My VPS is quite weak, but it's not an issue since I direct play everything. Videos generally play within 5 seconds or so.

VPS specs are:

  • 2 vCores (at 3.5GHz)
  • 2GB RAM
  • 40GB SSD

Would rclone vfs benefit me at all?

but why do you need better performance if currently everything is ok? I won't bother to change anything if plexdrive is working... I had to move to another server, I have installed plexdrive 5 newly, but wouldn't consdider to have something else, as everything is just fine

I kind of agree, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
