Android Question Exoplayer error code 400

[fasilosman]

Hi all,

I tried to load a video from google drive using Exoplayer.

I got an error as..

Error: com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.HttpDataSource$InvalidResponseCodeException: Response code: 400

This is my sample code..

    player1.Initialize("player")
    player1.Prepare(player1.CreateUriSource("https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/?key=XXXXXXXX&alt=media"))
    SimpleExoPlayerView1.Player = player1
    player1.Play

But when I tried this link in a web browser, the MP4 file is downloaded.

Can anyone let me know the issue.

Thank you

you need the actual id of the file. the url you show is precisely for downloading. take a look at this

i think it's going to be very tricky (if possible) to obtain that id from within your app and then pass it to exoplayer. we went through several iterations of a similar situation regarding the real location of youtube videos. every time someone figured out how to parse the url, google would change it. you could conceivably get the id directly with your browser on a pc and use it with exoplayer to play the same video (or a small list of videos) over and over. but if you're thinking of storing videos on drive and "streaming" them in your app with exoplayer, it's going to be very inconvenient without a pre-built list of id's that you've managed to obtain and store in your app as a play list. that may, in fact, be exactly what you want...

Look

[B4X] Direct Link Google Drive

Hi All. For example, if you need to view a movie in exoplayer and the movie is on Google Drive, you can switch the Direct Link of Google Drive to Exoplayer ("uri"). Original link Example code: Dim link_drive As String =...

Look

Thank you. I tried. It worked. But it allows only once or twice. Then it say "user cannot download" or "download limit exceeded" or " owner and editor can download".
Then I changed sharing permission to all file to "editor" not "viewer". Now its working fine.

Now I another problem. I will ask it in a new post.

Thank you all for helping me.

Now.
After I play several videos, it is not working. I tested the link with the browser and it says
