Drive Strm

NOTE: changes at Google have led to this no longer being a viable setup. Page left up for historical review

This is a quick guide to setting up strm with emby

Log onto your server and do the following

cd ~/community

sudo ansible-playbook community.yml --tags drive_strm

Once installed you need to edit the config file to match your setup

I suggest creating a new google project and keys for this

sudo nano /opt/drive_strm/config.json

{
"google": {
"allowed": {
"file_paths": [
"teamdrive/Media/Movies/Movies/", 
"teamdrive/Media/TV/",
"teamdrive2/Media/TV4K/"
],
"file_extensions": false,
"file_extensions_list":[
"webm","mkv","flv","vob","ogv","ogg","drc","gif",
"gifv","mng","avi","mov","qt","wmv","yuv","rm",
"rmvb","asf","amv","mp4","m4p","m4v","mpg","mp2",
"mpeg","mpe","mpv","m2v","m4v","svi","3gp","3g2",
"mxf","roq","nsv","f4v","f4p","f4a","f4b","mp3",
"flac","ts"
],
"mime_types": true,
"mime_types_list": ["video"]
},
"client_id": "googleusercontent.com",
"client_secret": "irJcfsecret",
"maindrive": false, if using normal drive or not
"teamdrive": true,
"teamdrives": ["data","data2"],
"poll_interval": 120
},
"server": {
"listen_ip": "0.0.0.0",
"listen_port": 7294,
"direct_streams": true 
},
"strm": {
"access_url": "https://strm.com/",
"root_path": "/strm",
"remove_empty_dirs": true,
"empty_dir_depth": 4,
"show_transcodes": true, 
"chunk_size": 250000
}
}

Save the config.

Restart the docker for your config to kick in

sudo docker restart drive_strm

Now leave this to run for a while can take hrs depending on the size of library and if you are choosing to make transcoded options

Check the status with

tail -F /opt/drive_strm/activity.log

Load emby and point your media directories at mnt/strm/Media/movies etc

Now for client side of emby to utilise the whole purpose of this

Android app hack

Your going to need to install vlc or mx player (this is down to the emby internal player passes it to your server) open the emby app go to settings /playback scroll down to advanced and choose enable external players.

Once done go back and choose somthing to play you should get a pop up asking which player to use here you want to choose your vlc or mx player and set to default.

You should now be playing the stream direct from google enjoy

Samsung tizen app

Probably not worth using as its very slow loading images if you have a large library you're going to struggle
