User reviews

A really good extension just one thing that bothers me is ,when playing lectures the player somehow prints timestamp every second like 00:10 00:12 ..... it just goes on and it pushes the seek bar out of sight.

Per fortuna che esiste! Migliora davvero la vita degli studenti costretti ad impazzire tra centinai di file, con questa con pochi click si risolve tutto! Risolve funzioni di base che dovrebbe essere presenti sul portale, carenze assurde. Grandissimi, LODE AGLI SVILUPPATORI.
