Native MPEG-Dash + HLS Playback is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your video streaming experience by enabling native playback of HLS (.m3u8) and MPEG-Dash (.mpd) video URLs directly in your browser. Instead of downloading these streaming files, this extension detects links referencing HLS or MPEG-Dash streams and opens them instantly in a new tab with a built-in video player.

The extension leverages the powerful hls.js and dash.js libraries to ensure smooth playback of these adaptive streaming formats. It streamlines video streaming by eliminating the need for external players or manual downloads, providing seamless, in-browser video playback for all your compatible streaming URLs. For any issues or contributions, you can visit the project's GitHub repository at https://github.com/Palethorn/nas-extension/issues.
