Extension Metadata

About this extension
media-cache allows you to cache and later download the content that is streamed using the MediaSource API.

Adding a website
To add a website to cache, click on the extension and write the hostname. Note that you need to follow a specific syntax to add the URL. For example:
  • *://*.example.com/*: both for HTTP and HTTPS, cache every video that is played from the "example.com" domain
  • https://ex.example.com/*: cache only videos played from the "ex.example.com" domain
  • https://example.com/page: cache only videos that are played from that specific page

Downloading the files:
After playing the resource, you can choose from a Select in the popup the page whose video/audio content you want to download. Click on the "Download" button to download them. While the download of the videos should automatically start when the page is closed, or when the video ends playing, it might not always work, so it's suggested to download them directly from the extension popup.

Open Source and disclaimer:
This extension is open source. You can find the source code at: https://github.com/Dinoosauro/media-cache/
Please use this extension only if you've the authorization from the original content owner to do so. I don't claim any responsibilties at all for the usage of this extension and the eventual consequences.
