Help file .strm GDrive Video

[gtmnyc 12]

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

[gtmnyc 12]

plugin://plugin.googledrive/?action=play&item_id=1  this is inside the strm file

<trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid= this your trailer inside the nfo files

That's not supported in emby. They need to be valid video urls.

[gtmnyc 12]

Yes luke that is what I was thinking.. Trying to scrape the urls of an existing lib in gdrive..

[gtmnyc 12]

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.

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

Yup...My Brain-Farting Bad...Sry Not sure how difficult it would be for Luke to allow Stream extraction Like Kodi to fix this....Hmmmmm.

 

JC why is Mapping the drive not working?

UK having another problem with strm files.. I have m3u8 inside a strm file.. It plays in 1080 on within kodi.. But in emby its blocky and pixelited.. Is there a setting in emby I need to change... Any help would be great

[gtmnyc 12]

That's not supported in emby. They need to be valid video urls.

 

i have put m3u8 url into a strm file like i mentioned above the quality of the stream is very bad.. i then put the same m3u8 into my m3u for live tv and the piv is pristine..  the same link both played in emby with wildly different video quality .. can you shed some light .. thanks

What.. Its a strm file quality issue

[Luke 42077]

So the issue is in the source?

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.

[gtmnyc 12]

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.

Ok, I'm able to reproduce this. Can you please attach the information I requested so that I can compare ffmpeg logs? Thanks.

Is there any way at the time that I delete Google file, also delete my automatic strm folder?

In the ffmpeg log I noticed to m3u8 had various stream quality. In strm file it picks the lowest quality. And m3u picks the highest st.. I rewrote the script to pick the highest.. Strange anomaly..
