[Feature Request] Right click <video> nodes and stream through HLS with relevant fetch options (referer)

[EmperorEarth]

My most common use case for your addon is to get a distraction free video stream viewing experience.

This usually means I open up devtools, figure out the m3u8 file collating the video fragments, and then open that m3u8 link in a new tab.

Sometimes, this won't work: usually because the "referer" option is empty this way.

Is there a way this addon can streamline that process?

Addons cannot set certain headers in normal HTTP requests.
I have the exactly same use case as you and was thinking of developing a standalone application that can do this, probably an electron app. So you just copy the request for chrome and put it in there, and can enjoy a distraction free experience.

Let me know if you think its a good idea, might work on it.

The addon could certainly try to capture the m3u8 URLs and a click on the icon could show the different master URLs, one last click to open them on a new tab. Let's see if that's doable.

@gramk that still wont work if the server requires a Referrer header, correct?
