Maximize Flash
Make a flash video use as much screen size as the tab it's in and the aspect ratio allows, without causing the video to reload.
What is Maximize Flash?
'Maximize Flash' is a Chrome extension purposed for enhancing user's video streaming experience. It allows users to stretch the size of the flash video to fulfill the tab size, all while keeping the video's aspect ratio intact. It resolves the reloading issue, thus enabling a smooth and break-free video playback. It works efficiently for all flash videos including those within IFrames. Constant upgrades ensure bug-free performance, with the added support for HTML5 <video> tags.

in general it works, but in my case I tried to maximize the html5-video player, and when I clicked the extension button, after the opening in full-window the video covered the controls of the player, instead of appearing just in the bottom of the screen as usual and as others similar extensions does. So that mean I cant control the video but I can see the control panel, maybe you need to or remove it completely or save the option to control it ?
Doesn't do anything.
I am happy!
