Picture in Picture Video Userscript
Description
Create a userscript that enables Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for any video element on any website. The script should detect embedded <video> elements, add a floating PiP button, and allow users to toggle PiP mode with a click.
Features
- Detects all
<video> elements on a webpage.
- Adds a floating PiP button to each detected video.
- Allows users to enter/exit PiP mode by clicking the button.
- Works across multiple websites dynamically.
- Supports keyboard shortcut (
Alt + P) for quick toggling.
Implementation Notes
Detect Video Elements
- Use
document.querySelectorAll('video') to find all video elements.
- Observe the DOM for dynamically loaded videos using
MutationObserver.
Add PiP Toggle Button
- Inject a small floating button into each detected video.
- Style the button to be unobtrusive and draggable.
- When clicked, the button should activate PiP mode.
Handle PiP Mode
- Use the
requestPictureInPicture() API to activate PiP.
- Detect when PiP mode is exited using
document.onleavepictureinpicture.
- Ensure multiple videos do not enter PiP simultaneously.
Keyboard Shortcut
- Listen for
Alt + P using the keydown event to toggle PiP mode for the currently playing video.
