*update*
even with the "offline SRT" it's working half of the time( some time it load the srt automatically and some time not )... so it must be Because the loading time, it's taking about 10-15 secs to load the stream....

When it fails to load, can you hit back to start the video over from the start. I'm almost expecting it will start the subtitles. In that case, I'll know exactly what aspect of the timing is having an issue.

yap , on second time the srt is displayed

Perfect, that means there is too much of a delay between start of video and loading of subtitles.

I have an intentional 1 second delay because prior versions of KODI (think it even still applied to 16.1), there was an issue with if you load the subtitle track too fast, before the video started playing back, it would not load. It wasn't adequate enough to poll the isPlaying and then calling the setSubtitle. You had to wait at least 1 second after the isPlaying returned true to make the call, to ensure it loads.

Seems this needs relooking at.

Should be easy to fix.

Very impressed with this addon.

It plays back 4K movies without issue including HDR playback.

Question, is there a setting where it plays the highest quality without being asked each time?

go to gdrive settings -> videos -> under playback choose "never transcode"

Just to elaborate.

To play the best transcoded stream, and never receive prompt, in the video addon settings, videos section, uncheck "force prompt for quality selection" and change "prefer quality" to "prefer best".
To playback the original quality always (no transcoded), check "never transcode"

I've made the changes. Can you pull the latest testing (0.8.38, it should auto update if you are using testing repository). Disable the offline SRT just to ensure it is a real test.

I tested on a 18.1 and 17.1 on a different machine and the subtitles loaded.

Once you install it, I recommend copying the settings.xml from your userdata\addons to the plugin.video.gdrive-testing so you don't have to reconfigure

thanks!
so it's like that:
- i think this version load the stream way faster then the 0.3.37 , which is great!
- the srt load up great on my pc but on my android box it's load up some time on the first attempt
some time on the second attempt,
- i have been noticed that when i see the link start countdown at the bottom on the screen after i click it https://ibb.co/dCpqha (2 seconds of countdown ) then the srt loads up great , and when i don't see the countdown the srt wont show up ....
btw i'm using kodi 17.3

So when you mean second attempt, you mean you hit the rewind to start? or you stop and click the link again.

The streams would definitely load faster now that the timing to load the SRT is tweaked. Some more tweaking to get it 100% working all the time.

I have sort of an odd question, but is it possible to clone the Kodi install with GDrive set up on it and put it on another device. If so, would the connected GDrive account work on the 2nd device without any configuring?

Yes, copy the settings.xml file in the userdata\addons\plugins.video.gdrive\ folder between instances. The refresh token will allow multiple devices to have different authorization tokens so you won't have any conflicts neither.
