Video Playback Extension Extension

Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video elements either with shortcuts or using a clean, elegant interface.

Optimize your media experience by:

- controlling media on just your current active or across all tabs in Chrome
- customizing playback speed
- skipping forward or backward by custom time intervals
- looping
- restarting media from the very beginning
- playing
- pausing
- an experimental Theater Mode (for video only)
- customizable one key shortcuts for all actions

Once the extension is installed, navigate to any page with an HTML5 video or audio element and click on the extension to bring down the Player User Interface. Any changes made will affect all audio/video elements on the page and you can optionally control media across all tabs in Chrome using the Player UI.

Default Shortcuts:

- `s` = Decrease playback speed by .25
- `w` = Increase playback speed by .25
- `l` = Loop
- `o` = Pause
- `p` = Play
- `e` = Reset playback speed
- `r` = Restart
- `a`= Skip backward by the Skip Interval set in the Player UI
- `d` = Skip forward by the Skip Interval set in the Player UI
- `t` = Theater Mode
