website userscript: redirect embedded videos from "ok.ru" to an external player

Ok.ru

Userscript for Ok.ru to run in both:

• the WebMonkey application for Android
• the Tampermonkey web browser extension for Chrome/Chromium

Its purpose is to:

• redirect embedded videos to an external player

Notes:

• the userscript will not execute in embedded Ok.ru iframe(s) when:
  • running the userscript in WebMonkey
  • running the userscript in Tampermonkey with the option common.redirect_embedded_iframes disabled
    • this option is disabled by default
• when the userscript will not execute in embedded Ok.ru iframe(s)
  • the Ok.ru video player needs to be loaded into the top window
  • this can either be done:
    • automatically, by using an additional userscript helper
    • manually, by clicking the "Open in..." button in the Ok.ru video player
• when running the userscript in Tampermonkey
  • on sites containing embedded Ok.ru iframe(s)
    • when the option common.redirect_embedded_iframes is enabled
      • depending on your particular browser, the Chromium extension may not be allowed to redirect the parent window
      • in this case, the URL of the parent window needs to be added to a whitelist that allows this action:
        • open: chrome://settings/content/popups
        • next to Allow, click: Add
        • enter the domain for the site hosting the iframe
          • examples:
            • https://nfl-video.com:443
            • https://2livewatch.blogspot.com:443
            • https://freetvonline.live:443
            • http://ufreetv.com:80
  • after the video has been redirected to WebCast-Reloaded external website
    • video streams will not play directly in the browser window
      • lack of permissive CORS HTTP response headers
    • video streams will play directly on Chromecast and ExoAirPlayer
