Wouldn't it be possible to support any video by simply scanning for <video> tags and getting current playback information from there? I'm not sure, but is the extension able to control he video playback in order to navigate to the right time?



great idea! yeah that would seem to be a better design. Regarding the playback time, currently I'm adding the "t=[TIME]s" parameter to the captured url, so it works for YouTube. But there are definitely more elegant solutions as this scales to support more websites.
