stream-bypass v2.1.2

🧰 Fixed 🧰

• mixdrop.co works again.
• Proper error message will now show if video cannot be played.

stream-bypass v2.1.1

➕ New domains ➕

• doodstream.com / dood.pm / dood.ws (all the same site, just different domains)
• mp4upload.com

stream-bypass v2.1.0

🌟 Added 🌟

• Redirect matches. For example, if the domain example.com is matched and then, someday, redirects to another domain (e.g. test.com) which has the exact same site structure as example.com, test.com is matched with the matching settings for example.com. voe.sx does this for quiet some time, every url to a voe.sx video redirects to another domain, which changes all 4 weeks or so.

➖ Removed domains ➖

• doodstream.com - Although it were never supported before, I've tried to add it. The url to the video source can be extracted but not played. The reason for this is the beautiful javascript and browser ecosystem :)). In case to play the video, custom http headers must be set while requesting the video. But because HTML5 video does not support this, nor native javascript or any javascript library (at least I haven't found any) the video cannot be played.

🧰 Fixed 🧰

• Chrome support. Didn't work before lol.
• streamtape.com match pattern / regex.

stream-bypass v2.0.0

Although this is a new minor release, nothing has really changed in the user interface or how the addon works. But under the hood many parts of the code got rewritten to be better maintainable and readable.

🌟 Added 🌟

• New icons. Visit src/icons to see them directly.
• Firefox store support again. The firefox addon store blocked it since it relied on a configuration option which is disallowed when publishing a addon to the store. I've found a simple workaround and now everything should be fine. Install it directly from the store.
• "Custom" video player for all kinds of videos, not just for hls streams like in the past version. It does not differ from the native browser player in any way except that videos won't play automatically anymore.
• A better README with a nicer overview which sites are supported, which not and why.
• The code was completely shifted to nodejs for development. This was a huge pain in the ass and I had to do some dirty tricks to get everything working (maybe there is another way but I haven't discovered it yes) and now I know even better why it's hated so much, but it was worth it.

💣 Removed 💣

• The tooltip which got show when hovering over some items on the popup menu. I would have liked to keep it, but a bug causes the tooltips to behave weird and not show up. Sorry for that :(
• Some websites. The last release is some time ago and some websites went down or got completely removed from the interwebz. See this table which sites are still supported.

stream-bypass v1.6.0

Added

• newground.com website

Fixed

• HLS video streaming works again, content_security_policy was re-added to the manifest.json (after it was removed in version v1.5.1 because I thought that it is not needed anymore ._.)

stream-bypass v1.5.1

This release removes the content_security_policy in manifest.json since it is not used anymore and the firefox addon store disables the addon because it is seen as a potential security issue (even if I already explained them it is not ._.)

stream-bypass v1.5.0

Improved

• Error message if a hls video could not be loaded is now centered

Removed

• upstream.to since the source cannot be grabbed anymore (#1). I may or may not find a workaround to re-enabled it

Fixed

• vupload.com works again (updated regex)

stream-bypass v1.4.2

Improved

• dark background color when streaming a hls video

Fixed

• hls videos are working again (voe.sx, upstream.to, ...)
• vupload.com works again (updated regex)

stream-bypass v1.4.1

Notes

Added all 3rd party library file to the addon and not loading it from remote since firefox has blocked the addon because of this

stream-bypass v1.2.0

Added

• Native HLS / mpeg transport stream support. In versions before, a third party github page was used to play those kind of videos. But we won't give Microsoft our data so native support is much better :)
• Indicator how reliable a streaming service / stream redirect is. You can see the reliability of every website when you hover over them in the popup / settings. 3 reliability options are available:
  • low: Those websites are not very reliable and it's possible that the redirect won't work, will only show an empty player or that nothing to redirect can be found
  • normal: General reliable but errors / redirect failures may still occur
  • high: These websites are very reliable and errors happen rarely
• Tooltip 'help' for better understanding:
  • When hovering over the individual streaming website domains the reliability of the websites shows in a tooltip
  • When hovering over the On and Off button right from domains, a tooltip pops up which says that the site bypass can be enabled / disabled
  • When hovering over the On and Off right on top, tooltips will get shown which says that all bypasses can be enabled / disabled
• Slightly better documentation on how to a new website redirect / how it must be structued: https://github.com/ByteDream/stream-bypass/blob/0916f1c6371b50143566d01da2d321dc56f545f0/src/match.ts#L105

New website support

• mcloud.to (or mycloud, as named by some people)
• upstream.to
• vidstream.pro
