Supported Apps

  • ✨ Support Safari, Chrome, Edge and other Chromium, Webkit-based browsers

  • ✨ Support IINA. This is achieved by simulating the pressing of shortcut keys

  • 🚨 Not Support Gecko-based browsers such as Firefox is not supported

  • 🚨 Not Support Opera, It does not provide the ability for Apple Event to run javascript

Setup before using

  • To use this extension in browsers, you need to turn on Developer Mode and tick the box in Developer: Allow JavaScript from Apple Events.

  • To use PiP just run the Toggle Pip command when you're watching to an HTML5/IINA video (Note: You need to interact with the video once. If it's autoplaying just pause and play again)

  • Also, when you call this command repeatedly, you need to make sure that you have manually clicked on the video element in the browser page before each run (this is a limitation from browsers)

  • I solved the above two problems by a hacker way to simulate pressing the keyboard (F1 by default) in a Chromium based browser for automated picture-in-picture or full screen mode. If there is a conflict with the keystrokes, please select another keystroke or No Simulate in the extension settings.
