- Query HLS data structures directly from page JS state per tab
- Strategies: video element HLS instances, window-level player vars,
intercepted data, inline scripts, global config objects, content script
- Fixed merge logic: index.js now correctly processes interceptedManifests
and hlsQueryResults instead of non-existent playerData
- Skip blob: URLs in DOM scan (HLS-internal, can't be played directly)
- Only attach HLS manifest when actually detected for that tab
Previous approach (DOM snapshot via executeScript) failed on Pornhub because:
- Video player loads asynchronously via JavaScript
- HLS manifest arrives via XHR/fetch AFTER page render
- <video> element only shows blob: URL, not the actual manifest
New approach:
- Content script injects interceptor into MAIN world at document_start
- Interceptor patches XMLHttpRequest and fetch() to capture .m3u8 URLs
- Periodic DOM scans detect HLS player instances on <video> elements
- Global config object scanning for embedded stream URLs
- Popup queries content script via chrome.tabs.sendMessage for real-time data
- If no DOM videos found but content script has data, create entries from intercepted sources
Changes:
- content.js: Full rewrite with main-world injection + XHR/fetch interception
- index.js: Query content scripts via messages, merge with DOM snapshot
- manifest.json: all_frames + document_start for early injection
- Strategy 1: scan inline <script> blocks for .m3u8 URLs (skip subtitles/captions)
- Strategy 2: check video element HLS player instances (hlsInstance, _hls)
- Strategy 3: probe common global config objects (hlsConfig, playerConfig, etc.)
- Storage items now include hlsManifest and mediaType fields
- When HLS detected and src is blob:/empty, promote manifest URL to primary
- Backward compatible: direct MP4 entries unaffected
- Remove the hardcoded 4-tab limit in the find-videos flow
- Add per-tab try/catch so inaccessible tabs are skipped gracefully
- Filter out tabs that produced no frames from the dedup pipeline
- Update button label and status messages accordingly
