Adding gdrive index.tfl to tinfoil

[yongbi85]

Sorry but can't seem to make it work...
I generated the index.tfl correctly and i tried adding the gdrive link directly to tinfoil with the output specified in the log
In tinfoil locations.conf I added gdrive:/xxxxXXXXXxxxxxx#index.tfl
(xxxxxxxx being the file id)
But it doesn't list anything

If I manually download the file and save it on the SD card and add the folder of the SD card where it is stored in the scan ==> Success i even get the message i've set up to be certain
If I add a gdrive folder in which i only put the index.tfl ==> fail, it doesn't list anything but if I click on it in file browser, i can see the content of the gdrive folder i.e index.tfl but still doesnt list...

So to sum it up

• gdrive file id directly added with #index.tfl to locations.conf ==> FAIL
  -gdrive folder added to locations.conf ==> FAIL
  -download index.tfl on sd card and add the sd folder to locations.conf ==> SUCCESS

Any help appreciated, maybe i do it wrong in the locations.conf...

{"url":"gdrive:/xxxxxxxxxxxxx#index.tfl","title":"gdrive perso","enabled"1}

Edit : before the question arised, yes i have access to the gdrive within tinfoil (copied credentials and token and using sxos)

I am aware of this. I will talk to blawar (tinfoil developer) to see if there is any direct way to do this properly.

Thanks for your work. I have done a docker image to make it run once a day on my synology

@eXhumer Running into the same issue myself. I saw that you recently updated the share_file function to output an https based Google Drive URL to add to Tinfoil. Just wondering if that's still a work in progress? I updated my repo and ran the script again with:

--share-uploaded-index
--upload-to-my-drive

And while the file does get uploaded to my Google Drive, is set to appropriate sharing settings, and the new URL is added to Tinfoil's locations.conf, selecting that source under Tinfoil's "File Browser" tab result in no listings. I don't see New Games/DLC/Update tabs either, if that is set to the only index.

Adding that same file to the root of my SD card works fine though.

You must use tiny.cc and shorten the provided link apparently to use it with Tinfoil, as confirmed by Tinfoil developer.

If you have a custom domain, you can set it to redirect to the drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE_ID and that will also work.

Yeah, thanks a lot for this tip, i did just that and so it is fully automatized now, refreshing the index every night and redirection in place so nothing to do on tinfoil side.
