I'm using a Google Drive for Business account and all of my files are private. Do they need to public in order to work? I assumed that since the add-on uses log-in credentials that would be sufficient... but no dice.

What I'm aiming for is to have my entire movie collection stored in the cloud and have them accessible via placeholders in my local library.

Thank you for this amazing addon!

I have a question, when GDrive will support closed caption in playback stream mode?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Best regards

Using .strm file for the movie library (plugin://plugin.video.gdrive?mode=playvideo&title=file_name_in_drive) only thing is that the name of the playing video isn't correct. Just random numbers and text. How can we solve this? So searching subtitles will work?

Sorry that its a manual process. Next release will have options to create a directory full of STRM for your videos and populate the playback information in a Google Spreadsheet.

To create a STRM manually for playback there are a few options including playback of the streamURL for public shared videos.

To playback videos that private or videos without a URL, use the following in your .STRM

plugin://plugin.video.gdrive?mode=playvideo&title=title_of_video

Where title_of_video is the name of the video in your Google Drive account. If you want to transcode stream your private video, use:

plugin://plugin.video.gdrive?mode=streamvideo&title=title_of_video

This plugin fully works with Google Apps accounts. I use my Apps account exclusively.

Along with automatic STRM creation or playback by spreadsheet, I'm going to have options such as "playback the next unwatched video in folder X" or other options like "playback a random video" etc. This will be a huge asset for watching tv series without having to dig through a library. I am also actively working on a tvScheduler plugin that uses a Google Spreadsheet to create tv schedule line ups, so that watching content from Google Drives or other cloud providers because as simple as turning on the tv (no digging through menus, deciding what to watch, determining "did I already watch that?", etc)

Manual is fine, no complaints there. I'm just having difficulty getting it to actually work unfortunately.

strm imports fine and it gets as far as "Opening stream" and fails. This is the code i used:

plugin://plugin.video.gdrive?mode=playvideo&title=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8g2zc3Xg7YTdkpNTjgxd2xUN2M/view?usp=sharing

The video is public at the moment. Will pull it once I know an answer.

I did notice that it said I had exceeded plays allowed when I tested the link myself in my browser. however, I tried it with a different file and despite no play quantity limitations, it still did not work. So I am more posting this to find out if I have my strm structured correctly, as I wasn't sure what "title_of_video" specifically meant.

But I was just wondering if it is possible to fast forward on diskcache or memorycache?
Because on my xbmc it won't let me, only if I use the Stream option I'm
Able to fastforward but the video quality is not as good as diskcache or memorycache.

Also I wanted to know if it is possible to Make a ONEDRIVE addon or if there is one already made?

Thank so much.

A fix is coming for the titles.
