search with javascript to this "movie_player" id (YouTube only) and check if it's playing, if yes -> dim the web page.

More information about detecting the video player status, see this API link: https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference#Playback_controls

I can only assume that it looks for or elements in the page using some selector.

Then it would add the div to dim the background using a content script, changing the z-index of the found video element to a higher value.
