Dear all,

I tried to play a video which is in my google drive view web view. The video is showing (thumbnail) but, when I click play, it is no playing. (shows video length - time)
I tried addWebChromeClient, enable javascript etc..

Any one have an idea to solve this please.

Thanks in advance

I too have a need to do this, but it seems like most solutions actually "download" the video file first, THEN play it.

I found this solution that seems to actually configure the google drive video file to "stream" instead of downloading, so it would play quicker:

I've done some tests. Make a download anyway (if you try to run the link on the browser it proposes the download).
However, it has the advantage (using the key) of being able to view movies over 100Mb.
