Anybody use Infuse or something else to stream from Google Drive on Apple TV?

Hey guys, any of you use Infuse or an app like it to stream videos from Google Drive? If so, how well does it work for really large 4K files and passing audio formats through? Looking for an alternative to Kodi, which afaik is not available on Apple TV.

I recently started using the infuse app, but still prefer plex's interface and sorting tools. Yes, infuse works well with large 4k file and high fidelity audio, but it will suck a lot of your bandwidth and might require ethernet wiring to your apple tv.

Kodi isn't, but MrMC, which is a fork of Kodi, is. I don't know if it supports Google Drive yet though. It's planned, but last I checked it only supported Dropbox.

Infuse will handle 4K files easily as long as there’s enough bandwidth to feed data at the required speed. Streaming from a drive on your home network? No problem. Stream from any cloud service and you’re at the mercy of your ISP to maintain high enough bandwidth to keep the dreaded “buffering beach ball” away.

Can you install Kodi add-ons in MrMC?

I wonder if Google drive is the limiting factor sometimes. My internet speed is definitely fast enough.

I tried Plex a bit, but couldn't find a good way to stream from Google drive.

No. That would violate Apple's developer guidelines.
