How to access the preview video of a movie file with Google Drive SDK? - google-drive-api

On the Google Drive app for iOS, when I open a video file, I immediately preview the file through a low quality version of it. It's not the original file.
So do you know how to get the url of this preview video?
Thanks a lot

Use the embedLink field of the file. It contains a link to a player that streams the video (YouTube, pretty much), suitable for a mobile app.

How to access the laptops camera from Google Colab for object detection in live streaming video?

I am trying to detect mask on a live video using Google Colab. ALthough i can use the camera to capture images but not to stream a live video. How can that be done?
Thanks in advance :)
Check this example. Since colab is running in a browser, you need to give proper permissions for the site to access webcam

Since the video is a sequence of image, you can save the images with mask detected as a video file.

How to stream Large size videos from google drive in vlc

I've uploaded a large size video that is almost 2gb to my google drive. I'm streaming it in vlc media player. my format for upload is https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1wLllY5K1D6tdakUqHSQBqSQpFw4KclZ1
I'm getting through shareable link. This is small size video and it's streaming but When I upload a large size video it's not able to play.
I've changed the folder permissions to public
Due to the file-size, Google cannot automatically scan for viruses.
Thanks to this, the link you are using will show a page like this:
Even if you then add the parameters from the url of the "Download Anyways" button, you would not be able to proceed since the parameters are validated against Google servers to verify that the authorization was indeed done by the user at the time of asking.
Drive is not meant for video streaming, there are other solutions for it, like Youtube.

How do I retrieve the image component of an iOS live photo from the Google Drive API?

We fetch a lot of media from Google's Drive API on behalf of our users. We care about photos and videos and we determine which is which via the mime type. The files endpoint is what we use to do this:
https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
However, since about mid-2016 Google Photos began backing up iOS live photos, which have a still image component and a video component. My questions is, how do I programmatically determine which is which and once I've detected a live photo, how do I access just the image component?
In practice what I've found is that live photos return as video/mp4 with a file extension of .JPG. However, the only image I have access to is a thumbnail.

How can I make URLs to music files play in VLC on iOS?

I have MP3s and other file formats that I want to provide through my website to iPhone and iPad users. VLC's iOS app seems to fit the bill, but they say
Additionally, third party websites and apps
may include links to open streams directly in VLC for iOS.
Here is the official documentation provided
How can I do that? I can't seem to find any documentation about it. I'm considering making a custom app just to accomplish it, but that seems silly.
Starting from VLC 2.0.2 you can use a link of type:
vlc://path/to/file to have the device open VLC if it is installed.
