StumbleTube

The StumbleTube is a UserScript written in JavaScript designed to enhance the user experience on StumbleChat, a web-based chat platform. It enables users to play YouTube videos directly from the chat box by processing specific commands and converting various YouTube URL formats into a standardized format for playback.

The script modifies the behavior of WebSocket communication to intercept and manipulate messages. It establishes a WebSocket connection with the chat server and overrides the send method to intercept outgoing messages, allowing for dynamic responses and actions based on user input.

Features

YouTube Playback: Play YouTube videos directly from the chat box using commands like .youtube, .video, .play, or .yt.
URL Conversion: Automatically converts various YouTube URL formats (e.g., youtu.be, youtube.com/watch?v=) into a standardized format for seamless playback.
Search Support: Allows users to search for YouTube videos by entering a query directly after the command.

How It Works

WebSocket Override: The script overrides the WebSocket send method to attach a custom message handler. This ensures that all incoming messages are processed for YouTube-related commands.
Message Handling: When a message is received, the script checks if it starts with a predefined keyword (e.g., .youtube, .yt). If a match is found, the script extracts the query or URL from the message.
URL Conversion: The script uses a regular expression to extract the video ID from various YouTube URL formats and converts it into a standardized https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= format.
Playback: The standardized YouTube link or search query is sent back to the chat server, triggering the playback of the video in the chat room.

Commands

Here are the supported commands for playing YouTube videos:

.youtube [query or URL]: Play a YouTube video. Example: .youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
.video [query or URL]: Play a YouTube video. Example: .video dQw4w9WgXcQ
.play [query or URL]: Play a YouTube video. Example: .play https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
.yt [query or URL]: Play a YouTube video. Example: .yt rick roll
