Prerequisites
- I have searched existing issues and discussions to ensure this feature hasn't been requested before
- I have read the feature request guidelines in the README
- I understand that MeTube development relies on community contributions and the maintainer is not likely to implement this feature
- I have considered if this feature should be implemented in yt-dlp instead of MeTube (if so, please report to yt-dlp repository)
Feature Description
The Chrome and Firefox extensions linked in the README send a video URL to MeTube for a full download. They do not mark start/end times on the player.
I would like a small extension that:
- on pages with a
<video>, lets you set start and end while watching - sends one clip to MeTube, or several clips, or several clips merged into one file
- uses the batch clip API from PR https://github.com/alexta69/metube/pull/986
This is not meant to replace the existing “send URL” extensions — only to make partial downloads easier.
Needs CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=* on MeTube, same as the other extensions.
Implementation Plan
Yes, I will implement this feature and submit a PR
