Unlocks all features of DS-Backend Web Player Grabs m3u8 webRequests from visited web pages and provides options for openning them.
Full summary

The DS-Backend Web Player Extension unlocks all DS-Backend features for Chrome! With it, you can preview playback in Chrome, or setup Chrome as a normal 24/7 DS-Backend Web Player!

By installing the Web Player Extension, you will get:

  • Screenshots in the CMS
  • All Web Pages will now work
  • Apply Volume Schedules in Web Pages

Important notes:

  • The DS-Backend Web Player can be opened here: https://player.dsbackend.com
  • For setting up your computer as a 24/7 Web Player (i.e. start Chrome on boot, go fullscreen, and more), please follow instructions from support.

Important Note: This extension will NOT help you access videos from sites like YouTube or Netflix.

This extension intercepts visited web page's network requests and identifies all m3u8 video stream URLs. When a m3u8 URL request is found, it is displayed in a box that overlays the visited page (see image above). Also, you can open the extension's popup window to view and open the first and last m3u8 URLs found for each site.

For example, I use this extension mostly to identify video streams from live TV news streaming pages, and if they use m3u8 files for the stream, I can take that URL and open it separately in another browser window or with other video playing/recording programs like VLC, Kodi, or Jaksta Media Recorder.
