FastStream VS ACNetGLSL

This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch.

It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans.

I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN.

It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week), so let me know if you see any bugs or have feature suggestions. I usually address such requests on Github within 2-3 days.

Kind of unrelated, but how difficult do you think it would be to hack support for glsl shaders in a browser? I tried to look into it once, but got a bit lost in the media source side of things. My idea was to try to add glsl shaders as post processing to video streams like in mpv but without having to jump through all the hurdles of passing data to mpv.

Example of a shader I was playing with https://github.com/TianZerL/ACNetGLSL

I'm not sure if what I'm doing is wrong or if there's something wrong with the shader itself but I can't get it to apply on the video, it states on the page that you're supposed to check using Shift + I then 2 to see if it's enabled (and from my experience, there's supposed to be something like 'user shaders') but I don't see any. I'm using portable setup but I've placed the shaders on both my portable config and %appdata% folder, but still no luck.

Shader version for Mpv version is here
