The Stream Detector PLUS
Description from store

Detects playlists and subtitles used by streams, incl. custom file extensions and headers. Assembles readymade commands for tools.

Enhanced Fork of https://github.com/54ac/stream-detector
Adds: MPV, Use website title by default, Disable notifications by default (causes stutter, freezing, when copied link), Remove " - Website" branding for title, skip reading browser cookies for yt-dlp (option)

This is a Firefox and Chrom* addon written in JavaScript which provides an easy way to keep track of URLs to playlists and subtitles used by Apple HLS, Adobe HDS, MPEG-DASH, and Microsoft Smooth Streaming streams as well as download video/audio files directly and monitor any other file extensions and Content-Type headers.

Also assembles readymade yt-dlp/FFmpeg/Streamlink/hlsdl/N_m3u8DL-RE/mpv commands which (should) include all of the necessary cookies and headers.

bomb!!!

Simple to use and does what it should. Some streams are not detected even if developer mode (network tab) shows a .m3u link. Some streams require a user agent header like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)", which is not what MPV sends by default. For some reason the mpv command built by this extension misses --user-agent parameter.
