What is Media Controller?

Media Controller is a Chrome extension that gives users precise control over Chrome's native media player. It provides buttons and keyboard shortcuts for skipping by increments of five seconds and up, making it easier to navigate longer media files. The extension supports various media formats and allows for streaming without the need for plugins. Additionally, it includes settings for default volume level and can be used to play local files by enabling access to file URLs in the extensions manager. Donations in Bitcoin and Primecoin are also appreciated. Please rate and review the extension.

Summary

Analyze keywords

The Chrome browser includes native support for several media formats, such as mp3 audio and webm video. This is very useful as it allows for streaming of audio and video in the browser without the need to download the whole file, and without using a plugin.

However, the built in media controls can be very imprecise, especially with longer files such as podcasts. Media Controller solves this issue by providing buttons and keyboard shortcuts that skip by increments of five seconds and up.

Note: To enable the extension when playing local files, check the "Allow access to file URLs" checkbox in the extensions manager.

what chrome lacks

Rod Butrymowicz, 2022-04-28

finally a solution for webm volume

八餅, 2018-11-11

This serves my purpose well and a great improvement over the crappy built-in player. I agree with Emmanuel in that key mapping would be a great addition, particularly to jump backwards and forwards in the audio playback. Clicking those buttons gets a bit tedious after a while. It would be nice to have options to speed up or slow down the audio too if it could be done.
