Universal Video Player Controls

This tiny and efficient extension helps you easily seek forwards and backwards in videos that are embedded in webpages. It does this by adding "keyboard controls" AKA "hotkeys" or "keyboard shortcuts" that you can use to make the video playback position seek forwards or backwards. No clickable GUI buttons are added, so you absolutely MUST use the hotkeys to operate the extension and control / seek the video. If you don't understand how to use hotkeys, then don't install this extension - you simply won't be able to utilize the functionality.

This extension attempts to be universal, so that it works on most video & audio players embedded in the web pages of most websites. However, this is a technically challenging thing to do because there's many hundreds of different video player variations to account for. So, please be aware that it won't always work correctly. However, it does works properly most of the time, and so I believe you will find it useful, and certainly better than nothing. Please keep this in mind when rating the extension - the extension is intended for "power users" that can cope if it doesn't always work well.

How to use it (only 2 steps):

1. Click on any video so that it starts playing
2. Use any of the following Keyboard Controls to make the video seek forward or backward:
