Hey! I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: Interactive Video Extension - a browser extension that lets you control your Haptic device directly from your browser and sync with videos on any site!
IVE lets you connect your haptic and syncs directly with the video player on any site. No need to download the video, just sync and play with the site’s own player.
Current Key Features:
Works on ANY site - YouTube, Pornhub, or your personal media server
Drag & drop script on EroScripts - Just drag a script URL and video URL to quickly load and play
On click play on FapTap and IVDB - Play directly from FapTap or IVDB. IVDB only works with The handy
Automatic video sync - Finds and syncs to the video player on almost any website
Multi device support - Direct support for The Handy and every other device connected through Intiface.
Cross browser compatibility - Available on Chrome, Firefox and Firefox for Android
How It Works:
Connect your Handy device with your connection key or connect through the Intiface websocket
Load a script into IVE
Visit free EroScript posts and drag the video and script url on the IVE window.
On IVDB, play a video directly from the top right when you are on the video page.
With FapTap, play through IVE button directly under the video player.
Play your video - IVE automatically syncs with the video player
Enjoy!
Future Updates:
Script heatmap overlay - See intensity visualized directly on the video
Web dashboard - Manage your scripts collection from anywhere
Script uploader - Use your own scripts on any online video
Much more!
IVE lets you connect your haptic and syncs directly with the video player on any site. No need to download the video, just sync and play with the site’s own player.
When this is properly ready, we’re going to setup an opt-in mechanism with a tag that will allow scripters to automatically allow the ive database to scrape their post.
Also the source code wasn’t linked to so putting it here:
IVE is now accepted and available in the Chrome Web Store and you can download it here:
You can now also support me on patreon.com/iveplay.
The extension will remain completely open source and free for everyone. Patreon supporters will get early access to beta updates and can participate in development polls to help shape the future of IVE.
This looks and sounds awesome! Seems like I’ll have to pull out my ol’ Handy to try this out
I hope t-code support will be possible in the future even if its only linear, but one step at a time.
Also thank you for letting it be open source and free!
Edit: Just saw the patreon post mentioning Intiface Intergration as a start
You must be logged in with a +18 account before they show the extension since it is marked as mature. If not they show a not found page, which is kind of bad UX / unclear.
Hah, I’ve spent like 1-2 weeks debating if I want to do pretty much the exact thing but that would connect to MFP. In the end I decided it was easier to spawn a full browser window that loads the “extension” code behind than dealing with chrome/firefox addon stores.
I’m also interested in the database. I’ve added support for loading scripts from FapTap but other than that MFP solution has the same problem which requires manually loading the scripts.
I think starting with official eroscripts support would give the fastest adoption. Then you can iterate on it by adding a platform for scripters with premium script support later.
I’ll for sure add support for it to MFP. Tho pretty important part is how would you be able to search for scripts via the api, would it require the exact urls/filenames, or would it work with some fuzzy search.
@VladTheImplier
If there would be an official eroscript support for the database then I think just scraping might not be enough. The scraper would not know what is the url of the video for a given script. There could be multiple quality versions for a given scene each with different filename. Also some scripters rename the script files and they wont match the official video filename.
So I think it would require some sort of section in the post with the data required by the database, like urls/filenames the script works with. Maybe also some sort of tags for fuzzy search.
We discussed there be a tag that allows a user to opt in to the ive database.
I do agree that it would be better to setup an official database, and I have no doubt we could run it.
I think I would probably put that database behind the patreon support though. Knowing how much resources the forum database required for the barrage of queries from searches and general use, that database would need fairly substantial resources.
Alternatively assuming the datbase doesn’t get too large, an sqlite database could be maintained and distributed with the extension or hosted on the forum for download and updated when the extension is opened.
There’s a lot of room for making this better and I’m definitely down to assist in hosting whatever is needed.
It works on all chromium versions, there shouldn’t be any difference whatsoever. There also shouldn’t be any interference with adblock extensions or any other extensions.
I don’t think there currently is a android Chromium browser that supports extensions, so it won’t work on Android for now. Once Firefox support is there it will work somewhat on mobile, but there probably is some extra work needed.
Feel free to support me on Patreon if you want to vote to on the roadmap or on which features you want first. There still is so much todo
Yeah mobile and adblock is pretty much all I need! I’ll definitely throw a donation your way at some point when I make donations to Koogar and other promising FOSS devs/teams at the same time too
