Library does not auto-update upon new content on the Cloud when using .strm exported files about plugin.googledrive HOT 15 CLOSED

Was your movie Philadelphia added inside the folder that you exported?

Hi @cguZZman - no, that folder was not included in the first manual export - it did not even existed in the source folder in GDrive. I wanted to make a real life test and added it after the first export and waited/expected it to be picked up by an automated process as the options "Update library after export" and "Watch for changes in Cloud" suggest it is available. :)

If you added your movie inside the folder that was exported first, it should be picked up and exported automatically. That's the whole point of the functionality.
I'll validate you log file later.

@cguZZman ok, let me add here the expectation (maybe it is not what it does): after setting up the .strm files export and run it for the first time, if the option "Watch for changes in Cloud" is activated it would pick up automatically (without the need to run the export again) any new folder that is added in the Google Drive source and refresh the exported folders. At the end of this process, if "Update library after export" is enabled, it would kick off the movie scrapping process.

The idea is that, if all is setup properly, new content will appear automatically in the Movies section.

Does it make sense?

I think we are talking in circles here, but yeah, that's the intended functionality when those 2 options are activated.
I just need to clarify that when you say "any new folder that is added in the Google Drive source", it should mean any new folder that is added inside the google drive folder that you already exported (and therefore watching).
If you add a new folder/movie anywhere in your entire Google Drive apart from the one you are watching, for example in your root folder or any other folder, it won't work. You are watching an specific folder and only modifications to that folder or its content will be taken and automatically replicated in your local drive.

That's exactly the case. As you will note in the log file, Philadelphia, which has been added to the Google Drive source after the first export, is a decedent of the root folder I set up as the in the .strm exports....

Oh yeah, we are on the same page here.

@cguZZman - important information abut this issue I've noticed today: it only happened to me when the content is a team drive. It works properly when the data source is in the "Shared with me" folder. Let me know if you need the log from a working use case.

Long time ago guys... Any news? :)

Same happening to me as well sadly. Was looking for workaround until I saw this issue wasn't just for me and been around for more than a year. I hope there's an update about this :)

Hi as per the latest version developer released more than a month and half ago, this issue has been resolved. You just need to add the repository of the @cguZZman into kodi and update it from there.
