WebMediaShare is an app to browse your favourite media websites (e.g. online streaming sites, online radio stations, etc.) so that you can:
- view the content without ads/popups/redirects/etc.
- listen to music from a streaming site in a media player app like VLC, so that it continues playing even if the screen is off
- send the media to your TV or Hifi (e.g. via the Kore app for Kodi). This works like Chromecast, but without the need for the Chromecast device, a Google account or Google Play Services, or special support for the site.
- share the media URL to friends on chats or email
- share the media to an app for downloading
WebMediaShare is a browser with the following features:
- Save your favourite media sites in-app
- Add shortcuts to the home screen so that they open like regular apps
- Ad blocking
- Prevents popups, pop-unders, and redirects (i.e. works well with sports and other live streaming sites)
- intercepts media within web pages, allowing you to view and share them
Forked from WebApps https://github.com/tobykurien/WebApps, which is a more privacy-oriented app that works well for social media and other web apps.
- Cookies and referer information is lost when sharing a media URL, so it may not work on some sites if the server requires these.
- Casting does not work well for sites like YouTube.com that stream their media in several chunked files
- For YouTube in particular, use "Share URL" menu option to share to Kore. Your Kodi instance will need the YouTube plugin installed.
- Another alternative is to use an Invidious instance for YouTube, which works well and removes some YouTube restrictions and allows even streaming just the audio or video independently.
- Casting may not work on sites that implement DRM, e.g. F1TV or Strikeout
