External players not supported anymore? #182

Closed jmiskinis closed 3 years ago

jmiskinis commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug I used to be able to play videos in their original quality using external video players, such as MX Player. It seems that it's no longer possible, though I still can play videos if I select other quality options. Kodi's default player works without any issues.

To Reproduce

  1. Modify Kodi's playercorefactory.xml to include MX Player.
  2. Right click on a video in Kodi and select "Play using" -> MX Player.
  3. Video doesn't play.

Looking at MX Player Pro's log I can see the following:

HTTP error 403 Forbidden seems interesting. Could it be due to changes in Drive API?

Yes. It is due to changes in Drive API. Now an http auth header must be send to request the video file from google. Kodi's player allows to request a URL and also specify the header.
