The file names should end with ".strm"
Instead SOME of the extension end with ".mkv""
Solution, rename the extensions to "mkv.strm"
This is a bug.

That's odd, because with ddurdle's old/defunct (but still working) GDrive addon there is an option to explicitly never transcode video content. Been working for me for years now. According to the player process info it is the original file, not transcoded. Not only that, but multiple audio files are available, so it can only be the original mkv.
Since it's dead and presumably won't work in v19 I was planning on moving to this maintained addon, but not without that functionality. Oh, and it has resume too.

You can't stream in original quality from Google Drive. The Google Drive webpage.
You stream the transcoded streams, not the original file.
Third party apps may can do this, but not the Google Drive webpage or the official Google Drive apps.
You can only download the original file from them.

This nfo file should be stored in your local drive in individual folders for each movie, with the nfo, strm, the poster and the fanart files
I am storing STRM files locally on my PC to access my Google Drive Media Library. However, whenever I scrape a STRM file, it gets added to my library and works fine, but the video and audio info of the file (1080p, x264,5.1 etc.) is missing. If I scrape the same .mkv file locally stored in my PC directly, the media info shows up perfectly. Further, when I play the STRM file, during playback, if I press the "info" key, it shows me all the media info (1080p,x264,5.1 etc.) but once playback is finished, that info does not show up in my library. I have tried to play the STRM file many times, but the media info does not show in my library. Please let me know what is the solution to this issue.
I have attached two screenshots demonstrating the problem - in one screenshot, the locally-stored mkv file is scraped directly and the mediainfo shows up at the bottom of the screen, in the other screenshot, the STRM of the mkv file is scraped and the media info is missing at the bottom of the screen.
