Plex to VLC Extension

This extension adds a button to the Plex interface that allows you to open the file in an external video app of your choice:

- Set your favourite video Player (System Default, VLC, IINA, etc.)
- Option to mark videos as played once you open them (requires a page refresh to see the change, but it saves immediately).

Note:

- This app only works on macOS! There are other chrome extensions that do the same thing on Windows and Linux.
- You'll need the companion app that opens the the video player. The extension should prompt you to download it. You can also find it on the extensions website (github).
