User reviews
Users appreciate MediaPlayer for enabling smooth playback of local media files in browsers, especially on Chromebooks and when using Nvidia RTX features, along with its subtitle support and Chromecast compatibility. However, common complaints include audio issues with certain file formats, limited subtitle functionality, occasional crashes, and missing advanced playback features. Security concerns have also been noted by some users. Overall, it is valued as a convenient and functional web-based media player, though it has room for improvement in stability, audio support, and feature enhancements.
Pros
- Works well for playing local video and audio files in the browser, including support for subtitles.
- Essential and highly useful for Chromebook users as a VLC-like media player alternative.
- Supports Nvidia RTX Video Super Resolution and HDR features, enhancing playback quality.
- Allows adding subtitles easily and playback is generally smooth and reliable.
- Provides global shortcuts and works well for casting videos to Chromecast devices.
Cons
- Audio playback issues reported, especially with some formats like Dolby Digital and certain MKV files.
- Limited subtitle support, with no automatic subtitle loading or saving subtitle settings.
- Occasional crashes and playback interruptions, including videos playing briefly then stopping.
- Lack of advanced features like speed control beyond 2x, playlist creation, and better integration with other extensions.
- Potential security concerns raised due to detection of malware (Trojan) associated with the extension files.

Priyanshu, 2025-04-02Estava procurando um web player para que eu pudesse assistir arquivos do meu PC com o navegador para utilizar o recurso da Nvidia RTX Video Super Resolution (que só funciona no Chrome e Edge) e essa extensão funcinou perfeitamente para esse propósito.
