Ah okay. I can see why you’re asking for that very specific request now… encryption would require that you run your plex media server on your computer and keep the files locally. You wanted some way to trick Plex into not detecting a change when we converted our files to placeholders…
Yeah, there’s not currently a great way to be able to do this so you’ll have to keep everything local for now (or deal with Plex updating its database until some other way surfaces, perhaps either on our end or Plex’s end).
In some ways, this is sort of a feature request for odrive to be able to support streaming of encrypted files–which has come up a few times before (and which we’d love to do once we lay the groundwork potentially with some other changes first). If we supported that on our own platform first, it’s possible that Plex would be interested in integrating with us.
Best,
