Convert Google Drive to .strm

[alazabe 1]

Hi

I like the idea to see google drive videos in kodi with .strm 

I wish emby have this features 

Kodi addon dont work with emby because it use spacial protocol “Plugin://”

And the @@ddurdle, github page is dead 

We want emby to add this as features or Plugin

I think there might already be external tools to do this but I don't know their names.

On Kodi, you can use this plugin to automatically manage Google Drive shares as though they are local filesystems as far as the library is concerned, as well as create *.strm files automatically, including support for Drive Video Transcoding. It works very well. But, there does not (yet?) appear to be any similar sort of plugin for Emby.

You can use Rclone for that, it's basically the same thing. The drive addon is a bit clunky because you need a complete rescan sometimes. Some info are not updated / files are being duplicated

I also don't know if there's an API limitation using the Google Drive addon as it use the google drive API to stream content. Any Gsuite user have a API call limitation.
