HTML5 Video Keyboard Shortcuts
Add keyboard support to Chrome's native HTML5 video player.
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".
Note that this extension is only meant to affect Chrome's native HTML5 video player!

finally thanks
i hated that the default media player for browser skips over 10 seconds or more depending on the video length, but this extension is exactly what i needed, when i try to skip forward always 5 seconds, thanks
How can I customize or disable the shortcuts?
Very good, sometimes not working.. If my keyboard is not in English this is also do not work. Thanks, I searched something like this for very long time.
Bro its amazing you are a life safer .
As another reviewer said, it "just behaves like VLC player", but that's not quite right... Bluetooth audio devices add lag, so for audio-video synchronization it would be great to see VLC's audio delay J (-50ms) and K (+50ms) hotkey features implemented here too. Overall a fantastic little extension :)
For those looking for a solution: At first it didn't work for me. I enabled 'Allow Access to Urls' Option and restarted chrome. Yeh! It worked for me. Give your try.. 👍

Does what it says, really helpful. Thanks!
편하긴한데 이 앱 쓰면서부터 비디오 반응속도가 느려졌네요. 그게 확연히 보여요.
No longer maintained.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.

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!!!
