Investigate how to make this thing work with any debuggee
For now this will only work with a local tab because the recorder lives in a frame script that is inserted by the panel (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/The_message_manager). If we want to have this work with any device/process/whatever, the recorder needs to be a protocol.js actor. I don't think there is yet a way to register new actors with the firefox devtools though.
It would be extra hawt to be able to use this on other XUL iframes/browser elements, like those use by Firefox Hello. Perhaps somebody in #devtools has suggestions on new actor registration?
Yeah that would be great. @janodvarko I'm not exactly aware about the plan to let addon define and load debugger-server actors. Is this something we can do already? Any ongoing work being done?
@captainbrosset Yes, I am working on a new platform API that will allow dynamic registration (and unregistration) of actors coming from addons.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977443 (the patch is waiting for a review)

Awesome, thanks for the link. I'll follow this issue closely. This is a must have API for addons.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977443 just got fixed in nightly!! Time for some custom actor registration goodness!
Woot!

Yep, this is one of the basic stones for custom remote features. Just to note that e10s support for the dynamic actor registration isn't yet ready. Honza
