    How to download streaming video

Streaming just means a download that they don't want you to keep.  But Chrome's developer tools make it easy to access what's really going on under the hood.
Open Developer Tools

From the page where you want to download some things, go into your chrome menu to open the developer tools.  You can either:
1.  (On a mac): Command-option-J
2. (On a PC): Control-alt-J


## background.js
// this is the background code...

// listen for our browerAction to be clicked
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
	// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
	chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.ib, {
		file: 'inject.js'
	});
});

## remove-utf8-bom.js
// remove utf-8 BOM from ressource "res"
// res.charCodeAt(0) === 0xFEFF | res.charCodeAt(0) === 65279
if (res.charCodeAt(0) === 0xFEFF) {
  res = res.substr(1);
}
	// this is the background code...

	// listen for our browerAction to be clicked
	chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
	// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
	chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.ib, {
	file: 'inject.js'
	});
	});
