What is detectstream

This is an open source Cocoa Framework that detects Web Stream presence in Safari, Webkit, OmniWeb, Orion, Chrome, Edge, and Brave Browser using the Scripting framework (other browsers are unsupported as they don't support AppleScript)

detectstream only works on macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later. Built against the macOS 13 SDK and is Universal Binary 2 compatible for Intel and Apple Silicon.

detectstream is used in Hachidori and MAL Updater OS X

macOS Mojave or later Considerations: Due to security changes, you must specify the key: "NSAppleEventsUsageDescription" with a description on usage and also enable Apple Events under Resource Access with Hardened Runtime enabled under Capabilities. This is required in order for stream detection and App Notarization to work.
