Modes:

1. standard index

• starting the plugin via video add-ons will display a directory containing all video files within the Google Drive account or those that are shared to that account
• click on the video to playback
• don't create favourites from the index, as the index will contain a URL that will expire after 12-24 hours

2. mode=playvideo

• you can create .strm or .m3u files that run Google Drive videos direct
• create .strm or .m3u files containing the following: plugin://plugin.video.gdrive?mode=playvideo&title=Title_of_video
• if your video is composed of multiple clips, you can create a .m3u that makes the above plugin:// call, one line for each clip. You can then create a .strm file that points to the .m3u. XBMC can index movies and shows contained in your Google Drive account by either a .strm containing a single plugin:// call to the video, or a .strm that points to a local .m3u file that contains a list of plugin:// calls representing the video
