Previously, the Chrome Extension Video Download Helper has been accepted by Google Web Store and Utopian. Today, I have spent some time adding the support of parsing the video URLs from ted.com
Let's check how the video URLs are stored in ted.com HTML source code:
We just need to parse it using regular expressions, the JS code is:
if (domain.includes("ted.com")) {
if (!ValidURL(video_url)) {
var re = /{"uri":"([^"\']+)"/gi;
var found = re.exec(html);
var video_url_arr = [];
while (found != null) {
var tmp_url = CheckURL(found[1]);
if (ValidURL(tmp_url)) {
video_url_arr.push(tmp_url);
}
found = re.exec(html);
}
if (valid_domain) {
if (video_url_arr.length > 0) {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
action: "getSource",
source: JSON.stringify(video_url_arr)
});
} else {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
action: "getSource",
source: JSON.stringify(CheckURL(video_url))
});
}
}
}
}

除了敬仰，我还能说啥。。
其实挺羡慕YY大神的，你可以自己写工具，写软件，写插件，我要是有这样的本领就好了！
不是本领，就是混口饭吃……
