Is this something that has been reported or you have found? Anything I can change to eliminate the issue. The Nvidia shield is hard wired to router. Bandwidth on my line not issue.

@timetrex it hasn't being reported before. Sounds like a kodi issue or an nvidia issue.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't find at console.developers.google.com any project active for this plugin. I ask because I'd like to monitory the API calls generated but it seems it's not there. I hope we are not running against a single account (the developer's at drive-login.herokuapp.com), as that could mean trouble in the future, if the plugin gets traction and more users "consume" API calls.

@ashlar if you want to monitor your calls you need to create your own authentication server, a clone of the drive-login app. It's open source and the repository is there in github along with the addons.

I see that the strm approach is much faster than the "use as a source one". On the other hand, unless I'm missing something, there's no way to simply run all the exports together to update them in one go.
When you create an export there are several options for it. You can setup a scheduled update (but that won't work for me, as the HTPC is not on 24/7) and you can "watch the cloud folder for modifications", or something along those lines. I'm not clear about this second option. What does it do?
If I go inside the addon "Exports" section I can use the contextual menu to "run" the export. But there's no way to run all the exports together. Moreover, is the "watch the cloud folder for modifications" needed for the export to simply add the new files and not overwrite everything that's already been parsed in the past?

There is no way to run all the exports together manually. You can schedule them. The watch option is to monitor your drive folder. If your htpc is not 24/7 it will sync your files the next time you start your kodi. The watch option will replicate your modified content only. It won't reprocess anything parsed in the past that was not modified. It won't delete all your strm files first and then reprocess everything. It will do what is necessary only.

On the other hand, for folders with thousands of files, I'm having Kodi constantly crashing (Kodi Windows x64, 32GB RAM machine). I've checked this over and over and it keeps on happening. Kodi crashes, logs does not display errors, just the scan entries that at some point simply stop (when Kodi crashes).

Log an issue in github if you still have this problem

1. Not able to load content from the Movies menuhttps://github.com/cguZZman/plugin.googl.../issues/55

Thanks for logging the issue in github. I'll take a look once I have some time.

Just installed this add on and working perfectly so far. Just one question: if I open the add on from the "Picture add-ons" section I can see the "Google Photos" category and browse my lib. The problem is that it is not showing the videos. If I open the add on from the "Video add-ons" I can't see the "Google Photos" category. This means I can't see the videos I have uploaded to my Google Photos account. Is there any way to be able to watch the videos within the Google Photos account? Thanks!

It's not supported right now. It's already in the list of future enhancements: https://github.com/cguZZman/plugin.googl.../issues/40

Would it be possible for the addon to ignore certain types of files In my case it has generated strm for files without extension ..... The file that generated a strm was "_VUC69 ~ 7".

Please create an issue in github if you still have this problem.

Is there a way to turn off the STRM creation where it deletes the files/folders which are already in a folder and it recreates the STRM files? I don't want it to duplicate the work.

There is an option in the settings to turn off the deletion of files before exporting.
