Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

chromium-all-codecs-bin

Download a platform compatible (mac/win32/64) Chromium binary that supports all media codecs like h264 and aac that are not available in Chromium by default (due to licensing issues).

refs: https://chromium.woolyss.com https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/6celi9/chromium_websites_safe/dhuwj2g/

Easy to use

Install

npm install --save chromium-all-codecs-bin

Sample Module usage

const puppeteer = require( 'puppeteer-core' )
const execPath = require( 'chromium-all-codecs-bin' )()
const opts = {
  headless: false, // show browser
  executablePath: execPath
}
;(async function () {
    let browser = await puppeteer.launch( opts )

    const pages = await browser.pages()
    page = pages[ 0 ]

    await page.goto( 'https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/' )
    // h264 and AAC now supported~
    // ( e.g. some YouTube video's require this for playback )
})()

About

Installs woolyss based all-codecs+ Chromium binaries for the current platform and returns the path to the executable that was downloaded.

Why

Chromium by default (that comes with puppeteer, for example) does not support licensed codecs such as h264 and AAC which makes it unable to play these media files (e.g. unable to play certain YouTube videos).

For who?

I wanted to play media files that used h264 and/or aac through puppeteer which its default bundled Chromium wasn't able to do.

How

Basically mimic the way puppeteer downloads/installs binaries and replace the url's with woolyss url's for the all-codecs+ prebuilt binaries.
