Video Player

Web audio and video player with speed control and volume boosting
Download Install Compare

The Video Player Chrome extension is a robust media player designed for flexibility and enhanced control. It allows users to boost audio volume up to 300%, similar to VLC, and speed up video playback up to 8 times, perfect for fast reviews or skipping content. With a minimalistic interface, it adds only those controls absent in the standard HTML5 video player, ensuring a clutter-free experience.

Users can play media from local disks or remote links seamlessly, leveraging standard caching for smooth streaming. Additional features include options to repeat single songs or entire playlists and to extract media sources from specified directories, making it versatile for managing and enjoying a range of audio and video files.

User reviews

Users appreciate the Video Player add-on for its simplicity, quick loading, and clever use of the browser as a video player. However, common issues include playback resuming from where it left off when skipping tracks instead of starting over, lack of subtitle support and playback speed controls, and unclear usage instructions which cause confusion for some users.
Pros
  • Simple and handy for quick loading and playing of audio/video files.
  • Utilizes the browser itself as a video player, which is seen as a clever and efficient design.
  • Performs well and works reliably for playing media files.
Cons
  • Playback resumes from the previous position when skipping between tracks instead of starting at the beginning, which is annoying for users.
  • Lack of subtitle support and inability to adjust playback speed, including no shortcut for speed control or granular speed adjustments.
  • Some confusion about how to use the add-on interface, as it appears as a drop-down box with unclear usage instructions.
