Full summary

How does it work? Streaming sites usually embed videos from video hosting sites and add advertisements on top of it. Just Stream extract the video from the page that it hosted, and replace the contents of the streaming site just with the video. I makes you save a lot of time closing overlays.

Usage Just Stream works automatically when it detects a embeded video, taking that video to the front. You can always deactivate Just Stream for websites where you don't want it to work.

Does it removes the ads completely? Just Stream is not an ad blocker, it just replace the streaming page contents with the embeded video. That is enough to remove all the ads from the streaming website but, if there are advertisements in the video hosting site, they will still be there. You can expect multiple improvements in the future, but right now it already saves you a lot of hassle. The use of an ad blocker is also recommended.

Changelog

Version 1.1.0

  • Improves video detection: Reduce wrong videos to the front. Added videos using <embed> element.
  • Takes the video to the very front of the iframe.
  • Adds fullscreen capabilities for all videos.

I built this extension in an effort to alleviate a frustration I had, and now its available for everyone!

FLO Player code exchanges the default flash player with an HTML5 video player, preventing disruptions in streaming and allowing for alterations of playback speed. If your internet connection isn't the best, this extension was built for you! This will alleviate the irritating buffering times you experience and stops the player from crashing unexpectedly.

Have a try for yourself and feel free to send me feedback via email or in person, I can be found in the Medical center and along South Ridge on most days.

Enjoy, I hope this makes studying just that little bit easier!

[Known unresolved issues] If a video was published on a year different to the year you did/are doing the subject, it generally will not load (ie. did the subject in 2015, lecture video was from 2014).
