The stream is handed over to KODI to handle and if you stop playing, KODI stops sending packets to google and after timeout period, Google believes you have closed the browser so the session ends.

This could be handled in code by implementing a proxy.

Added an issue for tracking. https://github.com/ddurdle/GDrive-for-KODI/issues/117

I solved this problem by using 0 cache within kodi that way the whole video is buffered so that even if i pause the playback it will keep downloading the whole file.

Good advise. I guess cache=0 means unlimited, so it continues to cache until there is no more.

Yes zero cache works, but it wears down the sd card / ssd / hdd heavily.
I understand why the problem occurs, but how could a proxy solve it?
