I'm interested on Google webdrive script as video host, send me a PM with your skype.
 
OK so I spent a while researching this. Basically google has some central server where all their video (youtube, google drive, picasa web albums) is hosted, googlevideo.com. When you upload through youtube it screens for copyright, picassa and google drive don't. Using the shareable link from google drive there's a way to make a request and get a direct link to the file, this url is a googlevideo.com url and temporary so that when reported to google they cannot trace back to your google drive account (at least so they say for now). For years this worked flawlessly but recently copyright enforcement/google has figured it out and began deleting accounts. It's kind of annoying to maintain now for hosts because they must continuously make new accounts/re upload their content, whereas openload and other hosts are fairly bulletproof for now

If anyone has updated scripts to make this work I would be interested to look at them, I have an outdated one that no longer works and there are a few other outdated ones on github as well. I can post links to what I have if anyone wants
 
In my opinion, Google Drive is no longer a trustable video host (for api requests). But If your content is okay, there is no problem with sharing your videos by default embed.
 
Even if you use API for requesting the stream, when google detects an abnormal amount of request from it your account would still be detected as abusing the service. I'd still advise on investing for a streaming server instead, so you can have full control of it as well.

Or better, just use google drive as a backup instead, and upload the mirrors to other hosting services. At least this way, whenever you get your content deleted from one of the mirrors, you can reupload it from your google drive backup. This way, you won't be abusing your google drive account, and you have a backup server that you don't pay for as much as compared from getting your own unmetered dedicated hosting.
 
Any Streaming server recommendation? Personally i can't find a good streaming server. A lot of them charge for bandwidth which is sucks. CDN is also another consideration. The only good alternative i found is Vimeo Pro. Is a bit expensive but it does have CDN and unlimited bandwidth. The only down side i think for vimeo is 1TB or 3TB they offer is year cycle. When you first started impossible you can utilize the size. Which i end up drop the consideration.
 
You can try our website if you want. I'll even give you a coupon code so you can join without having to put in any payment info. That way you can take a week to test out our website and video player without worry. After a week you can become an official member which we charge members $7 per terabyte which is actually lower than dropbox, gdrive,ect..Lol!! We also add website features upon request for our users as long as it enhances all users experience. A few examples below:

*FTP Upload-Makes for fast uploading of multiple videos
*Video Restriction- When embedding our video player into your website right click is disabled as well as we give you url restriction so if someone does steal your video they can't play it on any website unless you have specified it
*Max Video Upload Size Increase- Originally was 2 GB, now we have uped it to 4GB to
*Ect.ect..ect..

Just let me know and I'll send you a PM.
