MediaPlayer - Video and Audio Player
A powerful media player built on top of the video.js project with HTTP Live Streaming (HSL), speed control, and playlist support
The "Media Player" is a browser extension to play music and video files either locally or from online sources. This project aims to bring a VLC-liked media playing experience using native HTML5 technology. The add-on is built on top of the well-known "video.js" project by applying a few custom plug-ins to enhance the user experience. This player supports media boosting, speed control, playlist media selection, fullwidth-progress bar, HTTP-streaming (M3U8), cast to a remote device, and wave surfer visual for audio files.
How to Use (local resources):
Open the interface and drop the media link to it
How to Use (remote resources):
Open a video page like https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
Right-click on the player and select "Open in Media Player"
You can start watching an offline video file by dragging and dropping the video file into the player or pressing the big play button. To have the player load subtitle make sure to drop both video and subtitle files together (The dropped subtitle should have the same name as the file and needs to be in SRT or VTT format). Also, you can add a subtitle file later using the "+CC" button. This button appears when there is no subtitle found for the current track.
Extra Features:
1. Video casting: right-click on the player. If your browser supports this feature, you can transfer the media to a remote device.
2. Take a screenshot: Press the "screenshot" button on the player
3. 2x volume-boosting: Like VLC, you can boost the audio by 200%. Use the boosting feature when the volume is not loud enough.
4. Media Capturing: The player can optionally detect media files in the current tab and transfer them to the media player
5. Play in a separate window or inside a browser tab
6. Supports media keys even if the player is not focused
7. Supports native context menu on Chrome OS. You can right-click on the finder window (explorer) and use this player to open media files.
You can use your keyboard to control the following playback options:
1. "F" key: This will toggle the fullscreen mode on and off
2. "Space" key: This will toggle the playing state of the player
3. "Key Up" and "key Down": Increase or decrease volume.
4. "Key Left" and "Key Right": Seek backward and forward for 10 seconds.
5. "U" key: Shuffle playlist
6. "R" key: Toggle repeat, repeat one, and no-repeat
7. "S" key: Take s screenshot
8. "B" key: Boost volume (2x or 200%)
9. "O" key: Open network URLs

Latest reviews
there is no open in media player option coming on right click
plays mkv videos but there was no audio :(
please add feature of speed upto 3x, btw great web extension so rating 5 star
Looks good but no apparent way to select which subtitles to load when they are included with the mkv file.
Essentially a must have media player for any Chromebook, does the equivalent of VLC on Windows, easy to add subtitles etc. I've made this my default player. Can't fault it.
my mp3 plays and then it crashes with error code SIGILL
videos play for a second then cuts out lol
Writing a review for an extension for the first time because it solved my problem!! Had problems with playing local videos in full-screen using media players (like vlc, and the default media player) in my linux system (maybe it has something to do with nvidia rtx series graphics card). Whole screen used to glitch when in full screen. But youtube videos, and streaming websites used to work perfectly fine. Got his extension and now i can watch local videos, even with subtitles in my browser, without the screen glitching. And the playback is super smooth. Thanks a lot!!
It does not read AVI files
A nice lil' extension that recognizes and plays all MP3 and MP4 files flawlessly. Problems: No (apparent) way to create playlists (although one can batch-select files and it'll play 'em in order, looped or shuffled) or skip directly to the next track via swiping, kybrd shrtct or other standard means (although there is a tab showing all currently-loaded songs which users can navigate). Also: NO developer name or other info, no web presence whatsoever outside the Chrome Store. Highly sus' and for Windows users that new young malware punk PikaBot, a show-off with its robust backdoor and anti-detection skills, comes included. But hey, it's small, it works, it's free so wth. To Stephen Lipira and other users who can't find this app that's because it's a browser extension. So, look to your browser extensions and viola: There it is. Depending on your OS it'll be immediately evident or you can make it accessible/visible by pinning it or whatevs.
how do I change the casting language of a video in this media player? I am unable to do this. Otherwise this player is very good.
this made my life much essay
Works like charm for most files! Sometimes doesn't play audio on .mkv files and can't play 2160p. Almost perfect!
Only video player I have found that works with Nvidia RTX HDR and SuperResolution, which works like magic for standard 1080p videos, also supports subtitles which is awesome, just 2 complaints: -some audio codecs are missing -subtitles setting reset to default every time, no save option.
TRASH
Downloaded it twice, cant find it on my computer.
its not bad
I liked. I just would like to donwnload it, but it works the same way

Audio is not working like the last person was saying. dolbydigital + format. also subs are not automatically found of the mkv... need to add them manually which kinda makes this useless. i wish to use this to use the new high dynamic range option in nvidia control panel to watch video files in sdr to hdr.
audio not playing
Work like they state, but... It could be a lot more better if integration with others extentions can be added !
Only default Chrome OS media formats are supported. Video formats which are not supported by Chrome OS are also not supported by this plug-in. Hence, video formats such as wmv, 3gp, avi, etc. are NOT supported. So, there's no use for this plug-in.
Very useful, works good. I'm very happy that it has global shortcuts! :) Thank you!
Perfecta para streamear videos en chromecast, funciona excelente
It is a good extension, but when sharing this extension tab to google meet tab, it won't play any sound.

Everything is fine and I really like it, except that the Chrome live captions don't work for it.

Работает
it does what i wanted it to do, but my problem is when using Bluetooth earbuds or headphones, when you skip to the next song and go back to said song, it starts right where you were at when you skipped to the next song. this extension isn't for everyone but if you're okay with this everyday, then use this extension if you'd like.

Great.
Great.
Its simplicity and lightweight nature have left me awestruck, allowing me to seamlessly integrate it in my daily routine. It serves as a refreshing replacement for the cumbersome, "so far, so heavy" media players that litter the market. My one and only suggestion for improvement would be the addition of an option to handle multiple audio files. Such an upgrade would elevate this already exceptional extension to new heights. To the brilliant minds behind Outwrite, I extend my deepest gratitude for your tireless efforts in creating this writing masterpiece. Thank you for giving me the means to express myself with emotion and finesse.
