Stream Bypass

A multi-browser addon / extension for multiple streaming providers which redirects directly to the source video.

Introduction 📝 • Installation 📥 • Supported Sites 📜 • Building ⚙️ • License ⚖

📝 Introduction

This addon replaces the video player from this sides with the native player build-in into the browser or redirects directly to the source video. This has the advantage, that no advertising or popups are shown when trying to interact with the video (playing, skipping, ...) or some sites are showing them even if you do nothing. Additionally, this enables you to download the video by right-clicking it and just choose the download option.

How it's working:

📥 Installation

Firefox

Install the addon directly from the firefox addon store.

Chromium / Google Chrome

1. Download the zipfile from the latest release and unzip it (with 7zip or something like that).
2. Go into your browser and type chrome://extensions in the address bar.
3. Turn the developer mode in the top right corner on.
4. Click Load unpacked.
5. Choose the cloned / unzipped directory.

Opera

1. Download the zipfile from the latest release and unzip it (with 7zip or something like that).
2. Go into your browser and type opera://extensions in the address bar.
3. Turn the developer mode in the top right corner on.
4. Click Load unpacked.
5. Choose the cloned / unzipped directory.

• ✔️: Everything ok.
• ⚠: Included in the addon but will probably not work. See Note in this case, an explanation why will stand there in the most cases.
• ❌: Not included / supported by the addon. This can have various reasons. See Note for an explanation.

Some sites put much effort in obfuscating their code / how they receive the video stream so that it simply cost too much time for me to reverse engineer it and find out how to bypass the native video player of the site.

⚙️ Building

If you want to build the addon from source and not using the installation way, follow the instructions.

Requirements:

• npm installed.
• A copy of this repository and a shell / console open in the copied directory.

If the requirements are satisfied, you can continue with the following commands:

# install all dependencies
$ npm install

# build the extension source to a build/ directory
$ npm run build

# same as build + create a bundle zipfile at dist/
$ npm run bundle

Install

If you want to use the addon in Chromium or any browser which is based on it (almost every other, Google Chrome, Opera, ...), follow the steps in installation. When using firefox, use the following:

1. Type about:debugging in the browser's address bar.
2. Select 'This Firefox' tab (maybe named different, depending on your language).
3. Under Temporary Extensions, click Load Temporary Add-on.
4. Choose any file in the directory where the compiled sources are.
