Fix video playback on Google Drive, in-browser #26

Closed moritzheiber closed 2 years ago

moritzheiber commented 2 years ago

Google uses several subdomains for fetching the actual mp4 video content for its playback of video files on Google Drive, so the exception already added here isn't "enough" for whitelisting components on Drive.

Specifically the ei= tag and source parameters (I compared the urls used when having the extension enabled and disabled; those were the only noticeable differences) are seemingly required for proper video playback. Otherwise you'll get a plain 403 error.

Example:

https://abc---ab-abcdefg.a.drive.google.com/videoplayback?[...]

Tested and validated manually as well as with https://test.clearurls.xyz/

If you wish to try out the different ruleset you can use the following URLs, hosted on GitHub as well:

https://heiber.im/clearurls/data.minify.json https://heiber.im/clearurls/rules.minify.hash

I'll keep these two files reachable up until such time this PR is merged and deployed. I will not update the ruleset periodically, whenever new changes are merged, though, so continue to use them at your own risk.

Likely fixes ClearURLs/Addon#120
