Features & Capabilities

Better Local Video Player is a Firefox extension designed to enhance the native browser video player, specifically optimized for viewing local video files (file://). It replaces the basic default interface with a modern, feature-rich UI and adds essential productivity features like advanced keyboard shortcuts and progress persistence.

🚀 Features

🎮 Advanced Controls

Smart Play/Pause: Toggle playback using the Space bar, the dedicated UI button, or by clicking anywhere on the video frame.
Keyboard Navigation:
- Arrow Keys: Jump forward or backward by 5 seconds with a visual feedback toast.
- Number Keys (0-9): Instantly seek to a specific percentage of the video (e.g., press 5 to go to 50% of the duration).
Custom Progress Bar: A sleek, interactive progress bar with a real-time video preview tooltip and precise seek control.

💾 Smart Persistence

Progress Saving: Automatically remembers your exact position in the video when you close the tab or refresh the page.
Auto-Resume: When you reopen a local video file, the extension automatically seeks to your last position.
Context Buffer: To help you get back into the story, the player resumes 5 seconds before where you left off.
Safety Lock: Prevents losing your place during accidental rapid page refreshes by requiring a minimum session time before updating the save.

Is Better Local Video Player Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Local Video Player requires very minimum permissions.
