Ok, here is a short test report of the new functions

•  credentials seems to work for /, /list, /kill with clear browsercache.
  
•  with never_stream = true, only the playback of mp4 files seems to work, mkv doesn't work. On palemoon it loads endless, firefox states unsupported mime type (tested on localhost and server). Though, with passthrough enabled, i am able to download the mkv files, mp4 files still work with passthrough enabled. It takes a noticeable  longer amount of time to load.
  
•  with never_stream = false mp4/mkv files playback like before, with very fast loading. When i enable passthrough with never_stream = false i only get a white window when i try to playback a file.
  
•  sometimes the following error msg occurs, but doesn't seems to have noticeable effect on the running application.
  

Code:

never_stream = false & passthrough = true at the same time will result in stream not loading because google drive streams require a cookie to be set and cross-site cookie setting does not work.

Looking at integrating some third party HTML5 movie players to see if that resolves the issue with your MKV files.  I have mostly tested with MP4, AVI, etc.  I'll do further testing   

If you need some mkv testfiles, take a look at http://jell.yfish.us/. Also Kodi provides some testfiles for different format http://kodi.wiki/view/Samples. 

 Really nice finds.  Going to transfer them to a Google account for testing.  Will come in handy.
