Were you able to add multiple sources like http://localhost:8587/source/my account/TV Shows ?
You need to have "Allow using Google Drive as a source" in the add-on settings activated.
Then you go to Videos, Add Videos, Browse. There you need to select "Add network location...".
In the window that comes up you select:
Protocol: Web server directory HTTP)
Server address: localhost
Remote path: source
Port: 8587
You press ok and then you can navigate Google Drive from the new entry created and select specific folders to create different video sources.
1) Firstly if I notice a difference in the speed of start of the movies or series, this is slower when Method 2 is used.
2) With Method 2, Once in a while, the empty Google Drive folder appears and all the access paths for the movies and series disappear. But this is solved by disabling the Add-on: Cloud Drive Common Module and the Add-on: google drive. Then restart Kodi and re-activate them.
3) ..
Any other difference you can find?
Is it possible for me to set up strm at the step 2 location and check for changes from my android device?
