Google Drive es una excelente opción para ver videos en Kodi, especialmente si tienes una cuenta de Google con mucho espacio de almacenamiento.
Para empezar, debes tener instalado el complemento de Google Drive en Kodi.
Este complemento te permite acceder a tus archivos de Google Drive directamente desde Kodi, lo que te permite ver videos en streaming sin necesidad de descargarlos primero.
Instalar y Configurar Kodi
To install and configure Kodi, you can start by going to the "add-ons" section, as the Google Drive add-on is already available there. You don't need to download it from an external source.
The Google Drive add-on is compatible with Kodi 20 and 19, and it works on all platforms. To install it, you can follow the steps in the Kodi Add-on repository, which involves installing the Luar add-on first.
The Luar add-on is a prerequisite for installing the Google Drive add-on, so make sure to install it before proceeding. You can find the Luar add-on in the "Add-ons of programs" section.
Instalar Addon en Kodi
To install the Google Drive addon in Kodi, you can find it in the Add-ons section, as it's not necessary to download it from an external source.
The addon is compatible with Kodi 20 and 19, and it works on all platforms. However, please note that as of April 15, 2024, the addon is not functional.
To install the addon, you can follow the steps outlined in the Kodi Add-on repository. This involves installing from a repository, waiting for the notification that the addon is activated, and then selecting the Google Drive addon from the list of programs.
Alternatively, you can also install the addon using the Luar addon, which is a prerequisite for this installation method. Once you have Luar installed, you can follow the steps to install Google Drive, which involves navigating to the Add-ons section, selecting Luar, and then installing Google Drive.
It's worth noting that the addon is not officially affiliated with Kodi, and the creators of the addon, such as Carlos Guzmán, are responsible for maintaining and updating it.
Plex
Plex is a key component in our Kodi setup, and we'll need to install and configure it properly.
First, we'll need to install PlexDrive, which can be downloaded from the official GitHub repository.
PlexDrive allows us to access Google Drive, but only in read-only mode.
We'll use a jail under IOCage to serve the content from Google Drive via FTP.
To mount the file system, we'll use FUSE, and then pass it to the jail to avoid modifying special permissions.
We'll create a directory to mount the Google Drive unit and then start PlexDrive manually.
After creating a project in PlexDrive, we'll activate the Google Drive API, which can be done without any special permissions.
We'll then reset PlexDrive from scratch, which involves resetting the jail that serves the content.
Reproducir Vídeos en Kodi
To reproduce videos in Kodi using Google Drive, you'll need to install the Google Drive add-on. This can be done by going to the add-ons section in Kodi, where you'll find the add-on without needing to download it from an external source.
The add-on is created by the same author who developed the One Drive add-on for Microsoft's cloud storage system. Once installed, you can access it from both the video and music sections in Kodi.
To sync your Google Drive account with Kodi, you'll need to open the add-on, which will display a QR code and a web address. If you don't have a QR scanner, you can use your mobile device or PC to enter the web address and copy the single-use code provided by the application.
You'll then need to select the Google Drive account you want to sync and grant permission for Kodi to access your account. After this, you can view the different folders in your Google Drive account and access any videos stored within them.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Open the Google Drive add-on in Kodi
- Select the Google Drive account you want to sync
- Grant permission for Kodi to access your account
- View the different folders in your Google Drive account
- Access any videos stored within those folders
