Plyr will most likely never have the ability to stream from Google Drive. Google has multiple checks in place to ensure that videos are only watched through their website and player.

You need to use the api, the data returned should be authorized with the file id , or alternatively use the sharing link. Extract the text between

.../d/(This Text id)/edit...

link with a regex. Add it to the link

<source src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=Extracted ID Here" type='video/webm'/>

and use as video source html component. Please note this only works with logged in google accounts. Otherwise you can't really stream with drive easily

FYI, Google Drive supports embedding. See here.

It's interesting that just a little over a year ago this was a feature in drive (grab an embed link): https://www.colby.edu/acits/2020/01/30/how-to-embed-a-video-from-google-drive/ As you can see though and as explained above it's just a simple iframe.
