Allow the browser to play HLS (m3u8) or MPEG-Dash (mpd) video urls 'natively'
Native MPEG-Dash + HLS Playback Extension
Allows HLS and MPEG-DASH native playback in Chrome browser. Click on any m3u8 or mpd link inside Chrome to play it directly in a new tab. By default, the browser downloads any m3u8 and mpd files that were requested. This plugin checks any links to see if they match. If that's the case, it opens a new tab on a video player that uses the hls.js and dashjs library. This extension is just a wrapper for those players on Chrome.
Please read the release notes on install before use.
