Move to RCLONE, i did a long time ago i use it with TIVO STREAM 4K and AMAZON FIRE STICK 4K using this addon.

Does this require another machine to be running? 
If yes, I don't have that option... 
If no, please elaborate because I'm missing something.

Rclone can act as a server too, it has many commands, it doesn't only mount drives.
This is what this addon does, on android it loads your google drive as a webdav server.
On android you can't mount a drive without root, so this addon basically does what RCX for Android does.

Rclone by default uses -drive\-disable\-http2.
According to rclone's documentation.
Disable drive using http2. There is currently an unsolved issue with the google drive backend and HTTP/2.
HTTP/2 is therefore disabled by default for the drive backend but can be reenabled here.
So... rclone serves non http2 streams to Kodi.

Kodi in version 19 enabled http2 by default. HTTP2 works very badly with google drive.
If you disable http2 in Kodi you will get the same results you get with rclone which has it disabled by default and serves streams without it.

I personally prefer having an addon in Kodi that can get playable links from my google drive than using rclone, because it's a more simply approach that doesn't make changes to my system like mounting drives, creating servers etc.
