[Feature Request / Question] Natively playback video files opened from URL #41

Open ScrewTSW opened 1 year ago

ScrewTSW commented 1 year ago

Would it be possible to hijack the chrome native player and run the extension whenever a video from web URL is opened in a tab?

Currently Google Chrome has issues with playback even with it's supposedly natively supported formats: Screenshot_20230417_113727 Screenshot_20230417_113711

They simply do not load. It would be awesome if this player could replace the native chromium player in the tab.
