Native MPEG-Dash + HLS Playback

Allow the browser to play HLS (m3u8) or MPEG-Dash (mpd) video urls 'natively'

What is Native MPEG-Dash + HLS Playback?

"Native MPEG-Dash + HLS Playback" is a Chrome extension that enables users to play streaming video content using HLS (.m3u8) or MPEG-DASH (.mpd) formats directly in the browser. By intercepting requests for these files, the extension opens them in a new tab using hls.js and dashjs players, providing seamless video playback without the need for third-party software or services. It simplifies the user experience by negating default browser prompts to download such files, enhancing native browser capabilities.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Extension is not for sale or third party ad integration.

Allows HLS and MPEG-DASH native playback in Chrome browser. Click on any m3u8 or mpd link inside Chrome to play it directly in a new tab. By default, the browser downloads any m3u8 and mpd files that were requested. This plugin checks any links to see if they match. If that's the case, it opens a new tab on a video player that uses the hls.js and dashjs library. This extension is just a wrapper for those players on Chrome. Please read the release notes on install before use.
