  2. add facebook video parser and unit tests
  3. add generic video parser and unit tests: analysing the og:video:url or video tag in the HTML source.
  4. further analyse the embedded urls: the video URLs containing /embed/ are most likely the HTML which needs further analysed.

Unit Tests

npm run test

All tests passed on Travis CI: https://travis-ci.com/DoctorLai/VideoDownloadHelper/builds/93096835

Roadmap

  1. Use async/await to replace Promise/Then
  2. Fix broken video parser due to video site changes.
  3. Add more unit tests (increase code coverage)
  4. Support vimeo and other video sites
  5. Merge video segments (ts)

Task Requests

  1. Task Request: Adding dailymotion Support (100% vote + 10 STEEM)

VIP Key Exclusive to Utopian

Please note, you can enter the VIP Key which allows you to call the server API in case the client video parser fails locally - this greatly unlocks video parser to many many other video sites.

    Thanks for the contribution, @justyy! I guess by generic video parser you mean something that will parse videos on sites that you haven't explicitly added support for? If so, then that's great!

    It's also good to see that you are using let and const more consistently.
