Technical Background
KoalaSync works on any website with a standard HTML5 <video> element that allows script injection.
Limited functionality on certain platforms is typically caused by:
- DRM/Copy Protection (e.g., Widevine on Netflix, Disney+) which restricts access to media metadata like title and playback state
- Shadow DOM encapsulation that hides video elements from content scripts
- Strict Content Security Policies (CSP) that block script injection
Websites with heavily obfuscated custom players (e.g., complex Shadow DOM, iframe isolation) may require platform-specific workarounds in content.js.
