flyload 6 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hey, I am using Emby for a while now and I am wondering if there is a way to let emby access my video Files which are stored on Google Drive and Google Suite? It should access the files and stream them to my TV. Is this possible or do I need an Addon for that? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saitoh183 137 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 mount the Drive with rclone, then add it as a library as you would do normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyload 6 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 How does that work? I just downloaded rclone but it seems to be a bit difficult to set that up? Is there another tool with Graphic UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigrao 18 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I use Google Drive File Stream and point Emby at that. https://support.google.com/drive/answer/7329379?hl=en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another tool with Graphic UI? There is no easy solution. Emby has a plugin for gdrive but that is to upload your current local content to gdrive so that you can play it from there. Check the rclone Forum there is lots help and info there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugin should be the other way, or am I wrong? I need to access stuff from the cloud to stream it to my devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perplexed 25 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If you are still looking for an answer, you can check my signature on how to setup Emby with Google drive. It would work on a VPS or computer at home... if you can move a mouse and use a keyboard, you can setup Emby with Google 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyload 6 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 A plugin to do what? To connect Emby with Google Drive / Google Suite to let it access all the movie files from there If you are still looking for an answer, you can check my signature on how to setup Emby with Google drive. It would work on a VPS or computer at home... if you can move a mouse and use a keyboard, you can setup Emby with Google But your tutorial is for Plex and not for Emby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexed 25 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 But your tutorial is for Plex and not for Emby It's for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyload 6 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's for both. But the last chapter only explains how to link Plex with Google Drive? Or did I miss something there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxeroni 26 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It works the same. You mount it via rclone and then just point Emby to the respective mount. Works equally for whatever software you are using to access the mount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexed 25 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Right, Emby is a lot easier to setup than Plex, that is why I only mentioned Plex. I see how that could be confusing though, so I'm updating the guide to mention Emby as well Edit: and.... done. Thanks for the heads up!

flyload 6 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Ok I found out that the tutorial is only for usage with linux.. Does anyone here know how to set that up on a Windows PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxeroni 26 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Rclone has a pretty decent guide on their homepage: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config/ Https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ Windows is also mentioned there, the setup is not very different for whatever OS, obviously only the mount style differs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxeroni 26 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) The steps should be as follows: Download rclone Install rclone Ctrl+R: cmd -> Enter In the command line, type: rclone config -> Enter Then follow what is written in the guide by @@Perplexed. It works exactly the same. If you need more assistance, check google and/or youtube for something like 'rclone windows guide'. you will find a lot of help there.

ian78 3 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 why are you not just using Google's drive file stream? it creates a drive on your pc like a regular hard drive. its easy as download, install and launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie117 56 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) If you're not comfortable using the CLI (even though to be honest Rclone is super user friendly compared to most CLI stuff) then I also suggest looking at something simpler with a GUI such as Google Drive File Stream, Stablebit CloudDrive or ExpanDrive.

Google Drive File Stream - just because its free and works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
