Default android tv media player on Sony Bravia

by Reddit0401

I have a Sony Bravia X95G.

I have sideloaded the gdrive app on the tv.

I can access mydrive as well as folders shared with me.

I have 4k movies in the shared folders.

When i click play, it plays with the inbuilt video player and the video loses it's quality/resolution.

Is there a way to change the default player on the TV to Kodi/VLC?

The gdrive kodi addon is not an option as i cannot view the drives shared with me there.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried it, but a quick Google search said KMPlayer app does play Google drive videos in high quality.

You might want to try Kodi 19.1. It plays even better than VLC! Just start Kodi when you want to watch a video. No need to fight with the default player. When the default player loads just cancel it. It's locked into the system.... If I am not mistaken.

Try Xplore File manager, log in to your G Drive. I think it will give you a choice of video player.
