Nice work dmd. Of the 10 videos I tested, all were marked as watched. I even encrypted that TV Show that we were discussing and now that gets marked as watched too.
Is resume meant to be working in this version? The prompt to resume appears with the correct playback time but videos still play from the start.

Hi!!
Please, help!
I have two kodi devices and one google drive account.
I followed the steps in dmdsoftware for OAUTH2.
Everything worked fine in the first kodi.
I am lazy, so in the second kodi device I just copied the .kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.gdrive/settings.xml from the first kodi device and everything worked OK.
However, when I came back to the first kodi device, gdrive can show all videos but just can't play it, it hangs in "opening stream", if I cancel I get: "Playback failed, one or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message". Where is the log information?.
After a while it works again, but then it doesn't work anymore in the second kodi device!
I need the streams to work in both kodi devices, and also be able to add a third or fourth one.
Do I need to create a second username/auth code for the second kodi device? and the third and so on?
Could anyone help? please.
Thank you!
PD. Just if this is important, I have set up the google share only for people with the link.

I have duplicates of the same settings.xml on multiple devices and haven't incurred an issue.

Going to lay down some enhancement ideas which may be out of scope/not possible.
Enhancements to improve newbies ease of use:
1. Rename STRMs to a Kodi friendly format:
Example 1 - if the movie file is named Ghost in the Shell 2017 BluRay CEE 1080p AVC Atmos TrueHD 7 1
gdrive creates a STRM named Ghost in the Shell (2017).strm inside a folder dedicated to movie STRMs.
Example 2 - a TV episode file named Fear Factor S05E18 WEB x264
gdrive creates a directory named Fear Factor (if non-existent) inside a folder dedicated to TV STRMs. gdrive also creates a sub-directory named Season 05 (if non-existent). Within the Season 05 folder a STRM is created named S05E18.strm
2. Gdrive monitors a movie folder and TV folder within Google Drive, scouting for changes. When a new movie/TV show is uploaded, gdrive automatically creates a STRM file and also updates the local Kodi library. Perhaps gdrive even fetches subtitles for that particular video too.
3. Sync STRMs to cloud - Option to encrypt them for those who have gone down the encryption route.
General enhancements:
1. Now that it's possible to locally resume and mark videos as watched using STRMs, this may be a possibility too - Display movie/TV episode information and its poster art within the Kodi player when playing a STRM file.
2. Ability to delete videos within the browser and when deleted, gdrive automatically deletes the videos associated STRM file and cleans/updates the local library.
