add option to save current playlist to prevent sudden close of browser

[aroundmyroom]

I would likt to preserve the history of played songs in the left side of the screen (Now Playing) including the queue of the songs about to play.

it happens often I suddenly close (by accident) the browser window with mstream playing. When restarting again I start over and need to add the songs again what were in the Now Playing screen

Would be nice to allow a user to save the Now Playing locally (if set) so that this will not happen

Agree. I also have this demand for my use case. I think it can be implemented by using local storage and resume. But there might have the synchronization issues in multi-tab and multi-client scenarios. Therefore, we might need the server to do this job. This would be painful work...

Here is the solution I implemented. We need two things to make this come true. First, we need a server to store the playlist data we have currently. I chose cloudflare worker kv as a key-value db. You can follow the link below to setup. Then the second one is a client-side script to synchronize playlist between client and server. The code below is the client-side script I wrote today, and it worked great. You need tampermonkey to load this script. And change the MSTREAM_DOMAIN, KV_DOMAIN, TOKEN, and KEY according to your setup.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         mStream Music Playlist Sync
// @version      0.0.1
// @description  A script to sync the playlist among clients
// @match        https://MSTREAM_DOMAIN/
// @connect      KV_DOMAIN
// @grant        GM.xmlHttpRequest
// @grant        GM_notification
// @grant        GM.notification
// @grant        GM.getValue
// @grant        GM.setValue
// @run-at       document-end
// ==/UserScript==

var GM_notification = GM_notification || GM.notification;

var check_interval = 1;
const kv_token = TOKEN;
var status = [];
const key = KEY;

function push_status(){
    console.log('INFO: Sending state');
    var payload = {'_id': key, status};
    GM.xmlHttpRequest(
        {
            method: 'POST',
            timeout: 30000,
            url: 'https://KV_DOMAIN/?key=' + kv_token,
            onerror: function(){
                GM_notification('ERROR: Server respond with error','mStream Music Playlist Sync');
                console.error('ERROR: Server respond with error');
                check_interval = 60;
            },
            ontimeout: function(){
                GM_notification('ERROR: Server not respond','mStream Music Playlist Sync');
                console.error('ERROR: Server not respond');
                check_interval = 60;
            },
            onload: function(response){
                if(response.status == 200){
                    check_interval = 5;
