Better clarity of blacklist URL syntax?

Open IZeeLikeEyeZee opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Curious if things like * work in URLs for the blacklist? It's not entirely clear to me from the documentation, so just wondering if it's possible for example to just block any youtube link by using smth like *.youtube.com/*. Motrix doesn't seem to work for downloading videos from twitch/youtube (my guess is it has to do with something on their end with the tokens or smth maybe idk tho), and it would be a lot more convenient if I didn't have to disable/reenable all the time :)

Support of the wildcards would be very welcome, especially to exclude servers like dl*.cdnserver.com.

@berezovskyi you will be able to achive it by simply setting cdnserver.com

@IZeeLikeEyeZee For your use case, simply setting youtube.com works. https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/motrix-webextension/blob/master/settings-documentation.md#blacklist we have a doc for wildcard syntax. I will add some examples to it to make it a little more explanatory. Also, youtube doesn't support downloading. If you use some other extension to download from youtube, the motrix web extension will not support interoperability for it.
