Video Player

Video and audio player with speed control, playlist, shuffle, and volume-boosting

The Video Player Chrome extension is a powerful media player designed for enhanced video and audio playback. It allows users to increase volume up to 300%, similar to VLC, and speed up playback rates as much as 8 times. With a minimal interface, the player adds controls not normally available on default video elements. It supports playing media files from both local disks and remote resources with efficient caching for smooth playback.

Key features include repeating individual tracks or whole albums, shuffling playlists, extracting media from directory trees, and taking screenshots via button or keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, it can handle video formats unsupported by browsers through FFmpeg transcoding, including FLV, AVI, and WMV. This extension is ideal for users looking for flexible, customizable media playback within Chrome.

Plays (old) video formats not supported by the browser in a pop-up window. Right click on Video > Play with Video Player

Kann man nutzen - ergibt aber auf einer eingespielten Baustelle keinen Sinn.

Can you please add an option to open the player in a new tab instead of a window. Also, mkv files open but they load very slowly.

Extension safety

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.

Video Player does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

    Video Player is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
