suravidl

Detect videos on any page and send them to your local suravidl engine.

suravidl finds the video or audio playing on the page you are on and hands the one you pick to the suravidl engine running on your own computer. There is no suravidl service. The engine is a small self-hosted app (desktop app, pip package or Android app — all free and open source) that does the actual downloading with yt-dlp: 1000+ supported sites, playlists, audio-only, subtitles, quality selection, a queue, and a history you can retry or rename. How to use it: 1. Install and start the suravidl engine on your computer. It listens on http://127.0.0.1:8787 and prints an access token. 2. Paste that token into this extension's options page (and the engine address, if you changed it). 3. Play a video, click the toolbar icon, and pick it from the list. Streams the page keeps hidden behind a JavaScript player are found too — including ones with no file extension, on another host. What it does not do: DRM. Widevine, FairPlay and Netflix-style encrypted streams are detected and reported, not downloaded. The extension talks only to the engine on your own machine (127.0.0.1 by default). Nothing is sent to us: no account, no analytics, no telemetry.
