# rclone-jav Brave extension that extracts JAV IDs from the active page and checks them against your local rc-jav library via a native-messaging Python host. > **Setup:** see [`INSTALL.md`](./INSTALL.md). This file documents how it works once installed. ## Architecture ``` Brave tab title (e.g. "MILK-257") ─► content/background script extracts ID ─► chrome.runtime.connectNative("com.rcjav.host") ─► rcjav-host.bat → rcjav-host.py ─► python rc-jav.py --search MILK-257 --basic --no-color ─► result back through the port ─► popup / notification / badge ``` Long-lived port: Brave keeps the host process alive while the connection is open, so subsequent lookups don't pay Python startup cost. ## Triggers (all available, enable any combination in Options) | Trigger | Behavior | |---|---| | **Auto-check every page load** | Fires `chrome.tabs.onUpdated`. Badge shows hit count or `?` when no JAV ID detected. Noisy. | | **Auto-check on known JAV sites** | Same as above but gated by host patterns (e.g. `*.javdb.com`). | | **Toolbar icon popup** | Click the icon → popup can run a check on the active tab. The Scan Behavior toggle gates popup auto-check. | | **Right-click context menu** | "rclone-jav: check this page". Shows a desktop notification. | | **Keyboard shortcut (Alt+J)** | Rebind at `brave://extensions/shortcuts`. | Enable them all to compare — they don't conflict. ## ID extraction Uses site adapters, URL text, and the page title plus ID normalizers. Common title forms include: - `MILK-257` → `MILK-257` - `MILK257` → `MILK-257` - `Some site - MILK-257 [4K]` → `MILK-257` ## Search behavior By default the extension passes `--quick` to rc-jav (single-ID live `rclone lsjson --include`, ~1–2s, fresh data, no cache). Uncheck **Use --quick mode** in options to use the cache (faster on warm cache, may be stale). ## Files ``` manifest.json MV3 manifest background.js service worker, native-messaging port, triggers content.js page extraction, element picker, and in-page overlays popup.html / .css / .js click-the-icon UI options.html / .js trigger toggles + known-site patterns icons/ extension icons host/ rcjav-host.py native messaging host (length-prefixed JSON) rcjav-host.bat shim so the manifest path is stable install-host.ps1 writes the manifest into Brave's NM dir register-host.bat prompts for ID, calls install-host.ps1 com.rcjav.host.json generated by install-host.ps1 (UTF-8 no BOM) logs/ host logs and delete audit log state/ scan progress state docs/ INSTALL.md setup guide README.md this file EXTENSION_ID.md extension ID stability notes ``` ## Security - The host manifest's `allowed_origins` is pinned to your extension ID. Only that extension can connect. - No network ports opened. - Host only spawns `python rc-jav.py …`; no shell, no arbitrary code execution. ## Troubleshooting Quick reference — full troubleshooting in [`INSTALL.md`](./INSTALL.md#troubleshooting). - Badge `?` → no JAV ID in title. - Badge `!` → host error. Read `host\logs\rcjav-host-stderr.log`. - "host unreachable" → re-run `install-host.ps1`, fully restart Brave.
