h2 Why?

Since Google Drive support was launched in early 2014, it has broken
|
|
|
|
|
at least 4-5 times, requiring increasing effort to get it working again
|
|
|
|
|
and disrupting many channels. This is because there is no official API
|
|
|
|
|
for it like there is for YouTube videos, which means support for it
|
|
|
|
|
relies on undocumented tricks. In August 2016, the decision was made
|
|
|
|
|
to phase out the native support for Google Drive and instead require
|
|
|
|
|
users to install a userscript, which allows to bypass certain browser
|
|
|
|
|
restrictions and make the code easier, simpler, and less prone to failure
|
|
|
|
|
(it could still break due to future Google Drive changes, but is less
|
|
|
|
|
likely to be difficult to fix).
|
|
|
|
|
h2 How It Works
|
|
|
|
|
p.
|
|
|
|
|
The userscript is a short script that you can install using a browser
|
|
|
|
|
extension such as Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey that runs on the page
|
|
|
|
|
and provides additional functionality needed to play Google Drive
|
|
|
|
|
videos.

Once you have installed the userscript manager addon for your browser,

you can <a href="/js/cytube-google-drive.user.js" target="_blank">

|
|
|
install the userscript</a>. If this link 404s, it means the administrator
|
|
