Simple, fast controls that match Plex’s look.

The extension will run on those sites too. Permissions used • Storage — saves your settings locally and in Chrome sync • Scripting — registers content scripts and main-world hooks on Plex pages and approved custom origins • Downloads — invoked only when you click Download Original or Download Stream; • Host permissions — app.plex.tv, *.plex.direct, http://localhost/*, plus any custom origins you approve Privacy • No accounts, no analytics, no ads • No data leaves your browser — settings live in Chrome storage • Not affiliated with Plex *The extension does not bypass DRM or any content protection. Content that uses DRM cannot be captured. Notes • Again, Not affiliated with Plex • Works on Plex Web (app.plex.tv), servers that use plex.direct, and your custom origins • If Instant doesn’t trigger in a fresh tab, click once in the page to allow autoplay, then it works normally Technical notes (for reviewers) Stream capture observes the user's currently-playing Plex stream by hooking window.fetch in the page's main world (via chrome.scripting.registerContentScripts with world: "MAIN") to tee HLS segment responses into an in-memory buffer (capped at user-configurable 1-32 GB). On stream end or stop, captured segments are muxed into a single MP4 file using the bundled MP4Box.js library (BSD-3 licensed, vendored at lib/mp4box.all.min.js — no remote code loading) and saved via chrome.downloads. No segment URLs, bytes, or playback data leave the user's browser at any point. All features operate only on Plex Web (app.plex.tv, *.plex.direct) plus user-added custom domains via runtime permission grants.
