PotPlayer YouTube Shortcut, Open Links Extension

> HOW TO USE IT: You need to install the latest version of PotPlayer to get it working - https://potplayer.daum.net <

PotPlayer is a media player developed for Windows by South Korean Internet company Kakao (formerly Daum Communications). Player can play some video service links or any links if they are direct urls to some video.

To open a video link or playlist link in PotPlayer you can use the buttons on the site or you can use the menu items from the context menu (the right-click popup bar) on a link or on the actual video page.

You can also use mouse clicks on a link or a page to open it directly in the player. In order for that to work, you need to open the extension's preferences and enable the necessary features.

Optional features (disabled by default):
- auto-pause a video in Youtube player;
- pause Youtube player when Potplayer starts;
- play video using middle mouse click on youtube.com/watch* page;
- sync current video position (time) with PotPlayer;
- open a Youtube link in the player using middle mouse click on a link;
- «Open/Add link to player» in the context menu for any link, html5 video player

If it doesn't work for you or you have portable version of player then try to open the player's settings (key \"F5\"), then go to \"Association\" tab and check any association (e.g. \".mp4\") and finally press Apply or OK button (after applying the settings you can uncheck previously checked association).

It's recommended to always update the player to the latest version of PotPlayer (get the latest version: https://potplayer.daum.net).

bSun0000 (ID: 00000070a88d4c00) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/20/2023 Behaves weirdly in Vivaldi. Out of random menu items from the popup on youtube can simple disappear and to fix it you have to reload the page OR open the extension menu and unclick-click "Add link to a player" option. Can this be fixed? Is it this extension bug or chrome is messing with it? Really annoying.

cw noway (ID: 000000988e6ee8df) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 The extension is very nice, and helpful. But, I noticed in the Chrome browser, this extension does not list "PotPlayer" as a right click context menu item, when clicking a YouTube video link. The context menu item listed below is displayed in other browsers, such as Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, and more. In those browsers, you will see this in the context menu after right clicking a YouTube video link: menu item PotPlayer YouTube Shortcut, Open Links -> sub menu item 1 -> Add link to PotPlayer sub menu item 2 -> Open link in PotPlayer Why is this menu item not available in Chrome browser? It should be. And yes, the same PotPlayer extension from the chrome web store is installed, with the same settings, in all of the browsers listed in my review. Please add this context menu option to Chrome browsers also. Thanks. btw, PotPlayer is by far, the best A/V Player on the market in terms of capabilities, options, and performance. It blows away VLC, SMPlayer, and the rest of the other players.
