How to enable it? Is 4k possible to be forced?

[1varunvc]

(Hey, man! Thank you for searching and creating this extension. :D)

Two queries:

1. Could you guide on how it can be enabled?
I downloaded the zip archive, extracted it, and loaded it to the browser.
It was found to be non-interactive to user's clicks.

I tried adding the following to matches in manifest.json, but to no good:

• "https://www.amazon.co.in/gp/video/detail/*"[1]
• "https://www.primevideo.com/*"
• "https://www.primevideo.com/"
• "<all_urls>"

(I do have it enabled for incognito as well.)

2. Would you know if it is possible to force 4k?
I read online, and found that Prime doesn't offer 4k for web browsers. (I'm not sure about its macOS app., but for Windows I read someone saying that it goes to 1080p max.)

I tried changing the values for resolution in content_script.js to 3840 and 2160 respectively for width and height. But it didn't seem to have any effect.

Also, in my case, as the player opens up, it plays the video in lower resolution for 2-3 seconds, then starts playing it in 1080p whether or not I have this extension loaded.

[1] I added in in the URL for 'India.' Also, could you please tell what the whole of this URL actually aiming to do? I do not have any clue about the purpose of URLs in matches, nor do I know what this URL in particular is referring to.

Hi 1varunvc

1. Could you guide on how it can be enabled?
This extension works the moment it is loaded, without user interaction.

note: I added the function to display an image once the content script has finished loading.
so you can see whether the content script is working.

2. Would you know if it is possible to force 4k?
According to https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW, the highest quality is up to HD or FHD for web browsers.

I made this extension to watch Prime Video videos in 1080p on a laptop that does not have FHD resolution, so I don't think this extension is necessary for PCs with resolutions higher than 1080p.

However, if you are currently not in full screen mode and have the window maximized, it may not be in FHD, depending on the video, so that is one of the reasons. (see the pic)

3. Could you please tell what the whole of this URL is actually aiming to do?
It's to run content scripts only on matched URLs.

For example, suppose https://www.amazon.co.jp/XXXX/dp/XXXX/ is the URL for a video and then this would be matched if you specify https://www.amazon.co.jp/*/dp/*/
[*] means "any".

Thank you.
