If the media stream is what you want a method is to override the browser's PeerConnection. Here is an example:
In an extension manifest add the following content script:
content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"],
"js": ["payload/inject.js"],
"all_frames": true,
"match_about_blank": true,
"run_at": "document_start"
}
]
inject.js:
var inject = '('+function() {
//overide the browser's default RTCPeerConnection.
var origPeerConnection = window.RTCPeerConnection || window.webkitRTCPeerConnection || window.mozRTCPeerConnection;
//make sure it is supported
if (origPeerConnection) {
//our own RTCPeerConnection
var newPeerConnection = function(config, constraints) {
console.log('PeerConnection created with config', config);
//proxy the orginal peer connection
var pc = new origPeerConnection(config, constraints);
//store the old addStream
var oldAddStream = pc.addStream;
//addStream is called when a local stream is added.
//arguments[0] is a local media stream
pc.addStream = function() {
console.log("our add stream called!")
//our mediaStream object
console.dir(arguments[0])
return oldAddStream.apply(this, arguments);
}
//ontrack is called when a remote track is added.
//the media stream(s) are located in event.streams
pc.ontrack = function(event) {
console.log("ontrack got a track")
console.dir(event);
}
window.ourPC = pc;
return pc;
};
['RTCPeerConnection', 'webkitRTCPeerConnection', 'mozRTCPeerConnection'].forEach(function(obj) {
// Override objects if they exist in the window object
if (window.hasOwnProperty(obj)) {
window[obj] = newPeerConnection;
// Copy the static methods
Object.keys(origPeerConnection).forEach(function(x){
window[obj][x] = origPeerConnection[x];
})
window[obj].prototype = origPeerConnection.prototype;
}
});
}
}+')();';
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.textContent = inject;
(document.head||document.documentElement).appendChild(script);
script.parentNode.removeChild(script);
I tested this with a voice call in google hangouts and saw that two mediaStreams where added via pc.addStream and one track was added via pc.ontrack. addStream would seem to be local media streams and the event object in ontrack is a RTCTrackEvent which has a streams object. which I assume are what you are looking for.
To access these streams from your extenion's content script you will need to create audio elements and set the "srcObject" property to the media stream: e.g.
pc.ontrack = function(event) {
//check if our element exists
var elm = document.getElementById("remoteStream");
if(elm == null) {
//create an audio element
elm = document.createElement("audio");
elm.id = "remoteStream";
}
//set the srcObject to our stream. not sure if you need to clone it
elm.srcObject = event.streams[0].clone();
//write the elment to the body
document.body.appendChild(elm);
//fire a custom event so our content script knows the stream is available.
// you could pass the id in the "detail" object. for example:
//CustomEvent("remoteStreamAdded", {"detail":{"id":"audio_element_id"}})
//then access if via e.detail.id in your event listener.
var e = CustomEvent("remoteStreamAdded");
window.dispatchEvent(e);
}
Then in your content script you can listen for that event/access the mediastream like so:
window.addEventListener("remoteStreamAdded", function(e) {
elm = document.getElementById("remoteStream");
var stream = elm.captureStream();
})
With the capture stream available to your content script you can do pretty much anything you want with it. For example, MediaRecorder works really well for recording the stream(s) or you could use something like peer.js or maybe binary.js to stream to another source.
I haven't tested this but it should also be possible to override the local streams. For example, in the inject.js you could establish some blank mediastream, override navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia and instead of returning the local mediastream return your own mediastream.
This method should work in firefox and maybe others as well assuming you use an extenion/app to load the inject.js script at the start of the document. It being loaded before any of the target's libs is key to making this work.
