FireDrive for KODI / XBMC Video Plugin is a plugin that allows you to view your FireDrive.com files in XBMC. FireDrive provides free users access to store up to 50GB of content, and up to 1024GB for paid users. Many content sites appear to be delivering content using FireDrive. It's a direct replacement for Putlocker.

This is a very early release, coded it today and tried it on Linux XBMC and Raspberry Pi XBMC. Working ok.

So far the plugin will reliably let a user log in and play any video/audio content in their root folder or subfolders. Reminder that you can add public links to your FireDrive account by clicking the "Copy to my FireDrive". This will add the content to your drive, and will be accessible by this plugin.

You can also playback FireDrive public links (format: http://www.firedrive.com/file/#######) by invoking the plugin with: plugin://plugin.video.firedrive/?mode=streamURL&url=http://www.firedrive.com/file/#####)

I'll be continuing to extensively develop the plugin over the next few days.

Any testing, feedback, feature requests are welcome. If you have a cloud storage service you use that you want easily accessible from a XBMC plugin, let me know -- I'm looking on developing additional plugins.

thx mate, looks like a great idea.

when your done developing this addon, i think a few ppl also use owncloud as a storage facility.

thx in advance,
D.

I heard about owncloud but never dawned on me to implement for it. I'll look at it. I know there is a way to hook owncloud into XBMC as a video source, which would make a plugin unnecessary, unless there is something missing when doing such.

Folder support added to the master version

I didn't see any plugin for ownCloud. I know you can add it as a video source, but I heard there were some issues. So threw together a plugin: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=189856

They changed the view_media API calls. Public links work if you pass in a url as described in readme.

I've updated the code to reflect the changes in the site. It is working again. Please download the latest:

https://github.com/ddurdle/XBMC-firedriv...master.zip

Report back. Version should be 0.1.20140322

Can you send me a link to a video that has multiple resolutions/format?

For Google Drive plugin, I created ability to filter on resolution + container type + codec (see screenshot) because Google Drive transcodes in multiple formats, but I have seen no videos with that in FireDrive.

When I encounter HD streams on firedrive, I'll add support for them. I don't believe they support them. If you have a HD file and want to view it in HD, you'd need to select CACHE TYPE MEMORY. It's not really a stream, but a download of the file and playback while downloading. Google is really nice, as they'll take a video file and stream and transcode it in a bunch of formats automatically.
