<h1>ddurdle's XBMC / KODI Cloud Service Plugins</h1>

Some comments about the dmdsoftware.net pass-through:

<li>One-time use code.<p>You provide the Google Drive plugin with a code that you receive from Google when you authenticate my plugin to access your account. This is a one-time use code that you provide the XBMC / KODI plugin, which is passed through dmdsoftware.net where the server appends my client ID and client secret, and the responding authorization and refresh tokens is sent back to the XBMC / KODI plugin, where it is stored. At no time is the code, refresh or authorization tokens saved on dmdsoftware.net. The one-time code immediately expires when it is used to redeem an authorization token.</p>

<li>Renewing authorization<p>When the authorization token expired (after 60 mins), a refresh token is passed by XBMC / KODI plugin is passed through dmdsoftware.net where the server appends my client ID and client secret, and the responding authorization token is sent back to the XBMC / KODI plugin, where it is stored. At no time is the refresh or authorization tokens saved on dmdsoftware.net.</p>

<li>Revoking authorization<p>You can revoke any authorization and refresh tokens by visiting <a href=https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions>https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions</a></p>
