3.1.1 Out Now!

 3.1.1 is in the process of getting released now! Do note that Mozilla is currently experiencing some issues with their review process, which may or may not end up affecting public availability.

(Update: it is still in review, there is a discussion about it here)

(Update 2: It is still in review (2021/09/13) after ~3 weeks. This is quite odd for Mozilla, and I'm a bit troubled; more troubling still is that the community rep has largely gone silent on Discourse.)

(Update 3: Still in review 2021/09/25, quite troubled at the lack of communication. Do note that you can always pull the latest release directly from Github if you want to try it out before Mozilla updates.)

(Update 4: Apparently Mozilla had an issue around addons using the "proxy" permission, and have issued a workaround. I added the workaround and have released this as 3.1.1!)

This version has two main improvements:

  • Crash detection - Every once in a while something would crash or go wrong in the addon. Everything would seem to be working, but prediction results would be completely wrong. Now the addon will self-check once in a while and reload itself if it doesn't get back an expected prediction result.
  • Video scanning improvements - Eventually I'd like to have full MPEG-DASH support. I'm not there yet, but I can now more or less handle peeking at videos that are sequentially read in sections (range requests) - for example, many Reddit videos. Do note that if video scanning is too slow for you, you can turn it off in the addon options area.

I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any feedback using the link in the addon's dropdown.
