Roadmap

Use async/await to replace Promise/Then
Fix broken video parser due to video site changes e.g. ted.com
Add more unit tests (increase code coverage)
Support vimeo and other video sites
Merge video segments (ts)

VIP Key Exclusive to Utopian

Please note, you can enter the VIP Key which allows you to call the server API in case the client video parser fails locally - this greatly unlocks video parser to many many other video sites.

The KEY is iamutopian

Great plugin.

I was using something similar years ago on Firefox. It's always good to see unit tests, hope the project can maintain a good code coverage.

I see you have different parser logic on different domains.

It might be hard to maintain at some point if you want to add more parsers like this. Maybe modularize it will help. :)
