Support for Chrome

[zackmark29]

This is really great. I just found it today
Could you please support also for chrome extension?

[54ac]

I'll look into it, but no promises.

[xplorr]

A Chrome/Chromium version would be welcome!

[54ac]

I have attached a crx file to the v2.6.4 release. Let me know if it works if you're interested.

[xplorr]

crx file cannot be enabled in Chrome because it was not found in the extension store

[54ac]

Yeah, you have to extract it and load it as an unpacked extension I think.

[xplorr]

Unpacked and loaded gives error:

But seems to work ok. Thx!

[54ac]

As long as it works then it's all good. I've removed these lines from the file anyway as they're not currently very useful. Thanks for testing.

[xplorr]

Why not release it in the Chrome store?
It may be very useful for Chrome users.

[54ac]

It costs money to publish stuff in the Chrome store and I'm not about that life.

[xplorr]

Thanks a lot for this Chrome extension!
I also tested in Edge and Chromium/Slimjet browsers and works.

I found a bug in the Chrome extension the_stream_detector-2.7.4.crx

Uncaught ReferenceError: browser is not defined: background.js:212

Fix it:

Find:
browser.commands.onCommand.addListener(cmd => {
Replace:
chrome.commands.onCommand.addListener(cmd => {

[54ac]

My bad. I've updated the crx file in the releases tab, should be fine now.

[goooglefc]

The chrome extension doesn't pickup the correct Referer for embedded M3U streams.

I know you don't provide support for Chrome, but, if possible, please look into this.

[54ac]

I doubt I will, but if I did, you'd have to be more descriptive. Which website, what is the referer, what should it be, is it different in Firefox, etc.

[54ac]

The issue can be kept open for the time being.

[goooglefc]

As an example you can look at https://sportsonline.to/channels/pt/sporttv3.php
The actual referer for this stream is "https://sastreaming.net" but the extension just picks up the current URL as referer.
There are many more like this.
The firefox extension obviously works fine on links like these and displays the correct referer.

[54ac]

I looked into it and it was a quick fix. Should be working fine in v2.8.7.

[goooglefc]

So far so good.
Thank you.

I thought it's free to host extensions on web store. Is that not true?

You don't have to pay per extension, but there is a one time fee. It's cheap, and I might consider doing it, but I'm a bit wary about having to support two different browsers simultaneously.

I really appreciate you're atleast building .crx for chromium browsers too, which the support work is already done for us mate. Hosting on web store is just the last 10% task imho.
If you just need any help hosting & maintaining on web store, we could help you through donations, or find some maintainer for you...

My reservations stem from the fact that this is a personal project which I've been maintaining for my own use, and outsourcing it to maintainers or getting donations would make this addon a responsibility and, inevitably, a chore. If I didn't mind that I'd have uploaded it to the Web Store a long time ago.

Did you try to install it by clicking the CRX link in the releases page? If that's the case, right click and save the CRX file, open "chrome://extensions" in a new tab, then drag&drop said file in it instead. Worked fine for me.

PS: I just discovered this extension, and it works wonders in both Firefox and Chrome. Catches quite a few media streams other extensions don't. Thanks a lot, rowrawer.

is out there something similar for Android?
