Can't load the extension on chrome with the recent releases. #101

Hi!

On Chromium, loading the the extension fails, i noticed this issue with all the releases after 2.9.0, in other words, all releases after this are failing to load when adding the extension to the browser. (using the source code file from releases page)

I'm using Chrome latest version per this day.

Don't use the source code, get the crx file and unpack it.

54m4d commented 2 years ago

It always worked the source code way, will try to unpack the crx...

54ac commented 2 years ago

I specifically include the crx file for Chrome users - since 2.10.0 the source code needs to be bundled before use which is why it's not working for you.

Worked, but i got "Headers Error" when i extracted the file, no need to worry?

54ac commented 2 years ago

It should be fine.

Thanks!

Quick question, i randomly stumbled upon this video, stream detector coudn't detect the stream there, i'm curious but unfortunately i'm not savvy enough to check it myself, so i thought maybe you would know better than me?

I even tried to grab the stream url from the dev tools but no luck

At first glance, it seems to be using some sort of proprietary solution involving WebSockets. Pretty neat idea, but would probably be annoying to capture.
