Google Drive Player Extractor

A library for extracting video player URLs from Google Drive. Unlike the standard Google Drive extractor that attempts to get download URLs, this extractor focuses on extracting streaming player URLs with multiple quality options.

Description

This extractor uses a WebView to intercept Google Drive's player API requests and extracts streaming URLs with various quality options. It supports both progressive (video + audio combined) and adaptive (separated video and audio tracks) streaming formats.

Key Differences

Standard Google Drive Extractor: Attempts to get direct download URLs
Google Drive Player Extractor: Extracts streaming player URLs with quality options

Installation

Add the dependency to your extension's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation(project(":lib:googledriveplayerextractor"))
}

Usage

Basic Usage

import aniyomi.lib.googledriveplayerextractor.GoogleDrivePlayerExtractor

// Initialize the extractor
val extractor = GoogleDrivePlayerExtractor(client, headers)

// Extract videos from a Google Drive URL
val videos = extractor.videosFromUrl("https://drive.google.com/file/d/VIDEO_ID/view")

// Use the videos
videos.forEach { video ->
    println("Quality: ${video.quality}")
    println("URL: ${video.url}")
}

Integration Example

class MyExtension : AnimeStream(...) {
    private val googleDrivePlayerExtractor by lazy {
        GoogleDrivePlayerExtractor(client, headers)
    }

    override fun getVideoList(url: String, name: String): List<Video> {
        return when {
            "drive.google.com" in url -> {
                googleDrivePlayerExtractor.videosFromUrl(url)
            }
            else -> emptyList()
        }
    }
}

Features

Multiple Quality Options: Extracts videos in various qualities (240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p)
Progressive Transcodes: Video files with audio included
Adaptive Transcodes: Separate video and audio tracks for better quality
Automatic Quality Detection: Maps video itags to quality labels
Cookie Management: Automatically handles cookies from WebView

How It Works

WebView Loading: Loads the Google Drive URL in a WebView
Request Interception: Intercepts the playback API request
Cookie Extraction: Extracts cookies from the WebView
API Request: Makes a GET request to the playback API with cookies
Video Extraction: Parses the response and extracts video URLs with quality information

Returned Video Format

The extractor returns Video objects with:

URL: Direct streaming URL
Quality: Quality label (e.g., "360p", "720p")
Headers: Required HTTP headers including cookies
Audio Tracks: For adaptive transcodes, includes separate audio tracks

Notes

Requires Android WebView to intercept requests
Cookies are automatically extracted and included in video requests
Timeout is set to 10 seconds for WebView loading
Supports both progressive and adaptive streaming formats
