Description from store
Whether you are following a coding tutorial, reviewing lecture footage, or simply listening to a podcast while browsing, juggling windows can break your rhythm. Media Player Lite solves that problem by opening any local video or audio file in a compact, draggable overlay that floats above the current webpage.
Features
One-click launch
Click the toolbar icon once to inject the player overlay; click again to close it.
Drag-and-drop or browse
Drop files directly onto the overlay or use the built-in file picker—no complicated dialogs.
Movable & resizable
The header bar doubles as a drag handle; CSS variables keep scaling snappy.
Purely local playback
Files never leave your device; the script streams via a blob: URL, protecting privacy.
Stay Focused, Stay in Flow
Developers can code with a tutorial hovering in the corner; students can take notes without interrupting playback; casual users can shop or scroll social feeds while podcasts continue uninterrupted.
Battery- and Bandwidth-Friendly
Because the player streams from disk, there is no re-buffering overhead. The service worker sleeps when the overlay closes, conserving CPU cycles on laptops.
Who Will Get the Most Value?
Remote workers & developers
Keep tutorial videos visible while editing code or terminal windows.
Students & educators
Watch lecture recordings while annotating slides or typing notes in Google Docs.
Podcasters & music lovers
Listen to high-resolution FLAC or WAV files in the background without chewing through data.
Productivity enthusiasts
Combine the overlay with time-block planners or Kanban boards to stay motivated.
Language learners
Reposition subtitle-heavy videos next to study materials for side-by-side practice.
Accessibility advocates
Enables keyboard-only users to start local media without opening a separate player application.
Corporate training departments
Distribute localized builds company-wide and track zero user data.
Media Player Lite brings together the convenience of picture-in-picture, the safety of fully local playback
