Description from store Tired of Chrome's primitive built-in HTML5 video player? This extension adds an extensive list of keyboard controls to improve your viewing experience. The shortcuts are only active on videos with the default controls enabled, so don't worry about them messing up YouTube or other custom video players. To enable controls (and keyboard shortcuts) on videos that don't have them, just right-click the video in question and select "Show controls".

(2019-08-01) Minho Cho: 편하긴한데 이 앱 쓰면서부터 비디오 반응속도가 느려졌네요. 그게 확연히 보여요.
(2019-06-23) Justice Seeker: No longer maintained. Doesn't work with most sites since it disables itself. Some sites can be re-enabled by right-clicking and selecting 'enable controls' however about half of the time it STILL DOESN'T WORK. No updates since 2017 means these issues will never be fixed. Suspicious reviews in history that appear identical to reviews of other speed control extensions. Author should step up or remove extension completely.
(2019-03-16) Nguyen Pham: ok
(2019-02-06) ThisDaveAndThatJohn: Estensione che salva i nervi!! In tutti i player normali ho abitudine di saltare 5 sec. in avanti o indietro usando le frecce, invece, il player standart non ha questa funzione. Questa estensione lo risolve. Consiglio un sacco!!!

(2022-01-09, v:4.1.3) Jae Tea: I had to go to chrome://extensions/ and check "Allow access to file URLs" and now the arrow keys work
At first I had a problem watching a local file because the arrow key shortcuts did not work. I had to go to chrome://extensions/ and toggle the switch for "Allow access to file URLs" and now the arrow keys work. Thanks. Works great.

I do Really Like Your Extension i Mean how can i Not dam well knowing How very useful it is your Extension clearly is quite powerful now if only There was A way to Edit The buttons yourself customly or Just have it be Like this which is far way more Accurate up for up vol /down for Down volume Right aka Foward for Next/Forward video And backwards Left button for Back previous video.backspace for Seek backwards and plus+ button To go forward also to make it go Full screen/big screen you press shift to shift... it into full screen gotta have Buttons as near to each other certainly important ones as possible or in places where you can easily access in the night cant have them be scattered cant have them be Buttons you can see yourself using for typing it cant be Letters because you type with Letters even buttons
(2021-04-30, v:4.1.3) starboy Richards: Html video player
Hmm impressive its Also quite fascinating im wondering if you can Just Remap The up And Down keys As up down volune buttons And Left and right as back And forth video Switching skiping if you may id Love That and id surely Usr it Always its very Logical and easy to Remmember especially for The Elderly
(2020-06-13, v:4.1.3) David Robinson: Function
Hello, I am interested in this extension. Is it still supported and intended to function? I was unable to to make it function correctly?
(2020-06-05, v:4.1.3) David Robinson: Not functioning
None of the shortcut is working
(2019-03-17, v:4.1.3) Joey L: Not working anymore
It seems like it is not working anymore.
(2018-10-22, v:4.1.3) Media Master: Great extension - Suggest "White List" of desired sites for support
This extension works BEAUTIFULLY!!! Unfortunately though, I need it to, automatically, work on sites for which it is not currently enabled by default, and, possibly, disabled on other sites for which it may work, but have their own controls. My suggestion / request would be to provide the ability for a "white list" for a list of sites on which the user would like to have it enabled by default. The reason for this ask, is that I have created (and am developing more) AutoHotkey scripts to run various mediastreaming sites (YouTubeTV, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) in Chrome Kiosk mode, launched from my Kodi-centric HTPCs, utilizing MCE remote controls, to provide a consistent environment. In some cases, I have to do very little, when it comes to video playback, mostly handling navigation & selection, but, on some sites, I'm having to jump through hoops... and that could be resolved by the use of your extension. Thanks for the all your hard work!

(2018-06-29, v:4.1.3) Cyrus: Shortcuts have stopped working
The shortcuts are no longer working. It seems you need to update your code now that Chrome has changed its HTML5 player.
(2018-06-11, v:4.1.3) Gary Wang: need update to compat with new chrome version
chrome has updated its html5 video player, so this extension needs update too
(2018-04-21, v:4.1.3) TheRay 123: force "show controls"
nice job with the extension, but I have a small suggestion regarding controlling the videos , I believe that if force the extension to enable any video tag to show its controls then the extension will work automatically. because I need to right-click on every video to select "show controls" and this defeat the idea of this extension which is shortcuts :D
(2018-04-13, v:4.1.3) van win: HT5 Google Chrome
How can this work when Chrome does not allow this type of video to display on any pages, for oe.g. AOL video links?
(2018-03-27, v:4.1.3) Владимир Федоров: Звук
нет звука при воспроизведении ...
(2018-03-01, v:4.1.3) Jonathan De wet: Does not work for local files
"Allow access to files URLs" is on https://v.usetapes.com/ILbzfLZgxB Video showing problem
