For the guys running plex off a VPS, how long does it take before playing starts on your end?

My server is in JHB (like me) and I have an rclone mount to onedrive. There is only write cache used with the mount and I've tried with and without a mem buffer; but it still takes quite a few seconds before it starts playing. Same behaviour when seeking forward in the stream to an uncached point. Is that just normal ?

My current mount settings:
Code:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount \
        --config=rclone-TV.conf \
        --allow-other \
        --file-perms 0777 \
        --umask 002 \
        --log-file=rclone-TV.log \
        --vfs-cache-mode writes \
        --vfs-cache-max-age 10m \
        --dir-cache-time 360h \
        --onedrive-chunk-size 200M \
        --cache-info-age=60m
 
I have 2 plex servers setup that I share with some friends.

The old fashion way google drive unlimited + plex +sonarr + radarr hosted on Oracle ZA free ARM Instance

New project where I use Real-Debrid + plex + Plex_Debrid hosted on Oracle NL free ARM instance and proxied through Cloudflare.
I'm curious what you're doing now that Google Drive has limits? My unlimited plan dropped to 2TB...
 
Any suggestions as to what would be seen as developer activity ?
 
Where could I host all my Hard Drive content in the cloud WITHOUT them shutting it down?
And why WOULD they shut it down? cos it's licenced movies and series?
What if I DONT share with anyone and just use Plex (somehow) to stream for myself?
 
Anyone else use plex just t watch some old TV programs they have on it for free?
