Please read official documentation on how to use Google Drive videos: documentation

or use some of the methods for smaller file sizes:

METHOD 1:

To play Google drive videos, set HTML5 (self-hosted) video player, and pass the Google drive video URL like described below:

Go to Disc – My drive:

https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive

right click like on screenshot:

http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/GoogleDriveVideo_1.jpg http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/GoogleDriveVideo_2.jpg

use that video ID to create google drive video URL:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=videoID

This is final URL how google drive video URL should look:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B0JMGMGgxp9WMEdWb1hyQUhlOWs – that link goes into mp4 video URL

Or, use this tool to get direct link:

METHOD 2 (for larger google drive video files):

go to your drive https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive

right click on the video and choose to share link,

copy that URL of the video directly into browser https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B89EstBwA1ysaTlNZTZraExuUWs

than see screenshots 1 and 2:

http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/google_drive_video_sample_large_files1.png http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/google_drive_video_sample_large_files2.png

and find video src:

right click on video -> inspect element -> find div with class ‘drive-viewer-video-player’ -> open up iframe -> document -> html -> body -> player -> html5-video-player -> and you’ll see <video> tags with the ‘src’ of the video, you need copy/paste that ‘src’ into the player options.

METHOD 3 FOR LARGE FILES (if one of previous methods doesn’t work – use method 3):

Go to Disc – My drive:

https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive

right click like on screenshot:

http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/GoogleDriveVideo_1.jpg http://creativeinteractivemedia.com/player/CC/screenshots/GoogleDriveVideo_2.jpg

use that GOOGLE_DRIVE_VIDEO_ID on the following link:

https://api.getlinkdrive.com/getlink?url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/GOOGLE_DRIVE_VIDEO_ID/view

The link will response a JSON:

https://api.getlinkdrive.com/getlink?url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B141wa4nTnMDcWpOSmJQV0NpNHM/view

Than you can COPY/PASTE src from the JSON:

- copy the URL behind “src”: part:

https://redirector.getlinkdrive.com/redirector?url=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

METHOD 4: (only if your Google drive video expires and previous methods 1/2/3 don’t work)

Go to https://get.google.com/albumarchive/ and select your video to play. ( If you don’t have videos there, you’ll need to create album and upload all videos in the album, on this link: https://photos.google.com/albums )

Press F12 to open console in Chrome.

Click on the arrow in top left corner of console (“Select an element in the page to inspect it”)

Click on the video.

Copy src from <video> tag and paste it in Elite video player as “mp4 video”.

Video tag: <video tabindex=”-1” class=”video-stream html5-main-video” controlslist=”nodownload” style=”width: 640px; height: 360px; left: 0px; top: 0px;” src=”https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jt3PK8Oyp50FF4Mr3kyjw89Po39XXJIb-VyPD325odhv4At0utNd7l8332sA7fhPUVGKoQqQEgpBsb_JSA=m18?cpn=LqPXK7Qxkg9TnjrI&c=WEB_EMBEDDED_PLAYER&cver=20181220”></video>

Your mp4 url is: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jt3PK8Oyp50FF4Mr3kyjw89Po39XXJIb-VyPD325odhv4At0utNd7l8332sA7fhPUVGKoQqQEgpBsb_JSA=m18?cpn=LqPXK7Qxkg9TnjrI&c=WEB_EMBEDDED_PLAYER&cver=20181220

If you cant save player and gives you error 404 or similar, you probably need to enable Mod_rewrite on your server,

this can help you

https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/apache-mod-security-update-how-to-fix-error-406-or-not-acceptable-issue-259

if previous solution doesn’t help, second solution is to contact your web hosting provider, if your site keep blocking the plugin url when trying to save – http://yourserver.com/wp/wp-admin/admin.php?page=elite_player_admin&action=save_settings&playerId=1 , and they can block the Mod Security rule to resolve this issue.

To play Vimeo videos with custom Elite player you will need direct Vimeo video mp4 URL and use it with option “Self-hosted videos (HTML5)” in Elite video player.

For getting direct URL for Vimeo video just need to send GET Request to url:

Your video on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/241168130 (ID is 241168130)

Insert the ID instead <vimeo_video_id> into link below:

http://player.vimeo.com/video/<vimeo_video_id>/config

as result, you will get JSON:

- from that you can read direct video URL

- copy/paste that url into “mp4 video” input field in Elite player:
