Possible Google Drive Issues - Here's a Workaround!
Added 2020-09-02 13:46:05 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It's been brought to my attention that some folks (not all, not sure why it's only affecting some and not others) are having issues with Google Drive / getting the "exceeded playback" error. One of my Awesome Patrons has come up with a workaround for this that seems to be working so I thought I'd share! With any luck, the playback issue will be resolved within the day, but if it happens to be affecting you, this might help:
"First when you open the link, click add to my Drive. Use that to add a shortcut of the link to your drive in a location of your choosing. Then go to your drive and select download for the added link, that allows you to download the video."
Thanks!!

2020-09-04 00:00:43 +0000 UTCI didn't check yesterday, but I have the error now :( But we can be patient ;)
2020-09-03 11:42:56 +0000 UTCIs anyone still getting the Google Drive playback error? Just checking to make sure it's been resolved - bandwidth usually resets in about 24 hours so I'm hoping it won't be an issue today!

2020-09-03 07:33:46 +0000 UTCSorry to hear that! Folks have been have on and off trouble throughout the day (although it doesn't seem to be affecting everyone at once). Another way around this could be to log out of your Google account, or if you weren't logged in, to go ahead and log in to your account. The issues started early this morning, and typically Google Drive issues don't last longer than 24 hours (the bandwidth resets daily), so hopefully it will only be a few more hours until this is automatically resolved! Hope this helps!

2020-09-03 02:19:07 +0000 UTCI tried this, but it's still not working. Comes up with an error saying the download quota has been exceeded, or a different one saying I don't have authorization to view it.
