Force use file from Google Drive

[horstepipe 422]

hey

I'm just experimenting with the Google Drive plugin. I have one question:

When I sync a movie to Google Drive in original quality, how can I force that the (external) clients stream it from Google and not from my NAS?

The ones that support it will do this automatically.

thanks

where can I look up which app support it?

edit: do you mean "the ones that support the audio/video codec" or "the ones that support direct stream from google drive"?

On FireTV and Android Tablet it doesn't seem to work. Please tell me an Emby App where this should work I'd really like to test it.

Both of those apps as well as the web app support it, and ios, roku and chromecast

You got me right that I'm talking not about a downscaled/transcoded version of the file? I synced the file "as is" to google drive.

So if the client streams the file from my Emby Server and not from GDrive, what could cause this behviour?

Wouldn't the server just use the local source if both of them are the same?

no matter how you synced it, apps will only use it if they are able to play it based on their supported formats and in app playback settings.

sounds like that's not the case...?

Ok I'll try it with a stereo MP4 file every client should be able to play

Would be perfect if you could delete the local file after it was uploaded to the cloud.
