Google Drive video fails to play

I can't seem to play Google Drive videos.
Previously, it was possible to play by specifying a URL in the format like "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<ID>", but at the moment it becomes "PlayerError" and cannot be played. ..

Google Drive is no longer whitelisted and requires the "Allow Untrusted URLs" feature to be enabled.

The /uc links work on quest. However, all drive.google.com URLs including /uc and /file/d/.../view fail on PC due to bugs in yt-dlp ... the url it redirects to gives a 403 error.
I tried to workaround the redirect but I was unable to .
It's a really frustrating situation because Google Drive is the only streaming service whitelisted by VRChat that runs on Quest and supports 60fps... but it's currently completely broken on PC. So I need completely different streaming services to support both PC and Quest.
I would like to request that VRChat does not redirect /uc URLs. they can be played as is so no need for yt-dlp to corrupt them.
As for /file/d/.../view, it would be nice if yt-dlp could be patched to return the /uc?export=download&id= URL.

I've noticed that google drive videos under about 90MB play. I had to do that with an entire season of anime so my friends and I could watch it in VRC

"NicoNico" has also been added to the white list but cannot be played.
