How do i play Google drive videos?

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

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:

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:

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

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 Stellar 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>
