Features & Capabilities

PlayBridge Video Detector finds playable media in the current browser tab and lets you cast the selected stream to a TV connected through the PlayBridge desktop app.

Features:

detects direct video files, HLS, DASH, and subtitles;
shows detected streams in the toolbar popup;
adds an optional cast button over the primary video;
supports global and per-site overlay controls and five button positions;
passes stream headers needed by protected media only to the local PlayBridge desktop app when you cast;
includes no advertising, analytics, tracking, or remote executable code.

The separately installed PlayBridge desktop app is required for casting. Pair and select a TV in the desktop app, play a video in the browser, open the extension, and choose the stream to cast.

PlayBridge observes media requests on sites you visit so it can identify a stream that the receiving player can load. See the privacy policy for the exact data handled and retention behavior.

Is PlayBridge Video Detector Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PlayBridge Video Detector requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PlayBridge Video Detector may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
