gtmnyc 12 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The problem is that they call the gdrive plugin and play thru that in kodi.. When trying to play in emby there is no plugin to call.. You can call the you tube plugin as you do with trailers inside the nfo folder so in theroy it's possible.. But not as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtmnyc 12 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 if i send you a strm file do you want to see if it works Mine has all that but Play perfectly fine in Emby. Not sure what is going on. I would say at this point is to Provide Luke with Log Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chivigoku 0 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The files created by Kodi work fine in Emby, That's what I use...... Just Point Emby library to this Directory Path in Library Settings and Emby Creates/Plays the Library. BTW, This Works on Android too, Just use Kodi and export the .strm files to a external directory on the Shield/Fire Device. Hi @@EODCrafter Thanks for your info. I am trying to do the same but does not work Basically what I did is (in Windows and Nvidia Shield), open Google Drive Addon (same as you). Mi settings are like: Then I create STRM`s from my drive path, check the same options and I save all to C:\ (in Android I save them in external storage > Movies) When I go to the folder, I see all my STRM already created. For Movies, I have only a folder called "Movies" and everything there, for TV Shows, is a folder called "TV" and inside folders with every TV Show. My STRM`s have this inside: plugin://plugin.googledrive/?action=play&item_id=1b5OV-6blfAwSE-GOweuSYcmZ6N0nJK1i&item_driveid=04533847788536955881&driveid=04533847788536955881&content_type=video Then if I go to Emby Server, set up the folder in my library, I am able to see all the metadata and movies there but as soon as I playback the movie, I got the error Are these steps the same you do? If not, what do you exactly do? If I am able to create an Emby Server in my Nvidia Shield rolling my Google Drive, would be great. I have read your post looking for this and know I see it is possible, but I do not what I am doing wrong... THANKS in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddurdle 75 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 What.. Its a strm file quality issue You are trying to use a plugin:// url that only works in KODI. You should ask in the KODI forums for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmnyc 12 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 That's not it at all.. I have put a url into a. strm file.. The video plays but the quality suffers badly.. When I put the same url into my m3u list for live TV, the stream plays at the original HD quality.. On the same server, same client, same Internet.. The same stream suffers in a strm file and I just don't understand how or why this is happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
