Twitch DVR player Extension

Never miss an exciting moment again with Twitch DVR (not actually affiliated with Twitch in any way). Replace the standard Twitch player with one that supports rewinding to any point in the stream! Jump back and forth between live and previous content. Installing the extension will automatically replace the Twitch player with a player that supports DVR. You can toggle between the DVR player and the regular Twitch player at any time.

NOTE: Twitch has added a feature that stops VODs from auto-publishing on some channels (streamer can toggle this on and off). This breaks Twitch DVR Player and unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this if the streamer has it on (they might not know).

Release notes:

Juan (J) (ID: 000000b5e1660362) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/28/2023 Not bad but it has to be MORE PRECISE. We need to be able to be 10 seconds behind, or even 5 seconds behind without it jumping to LIVE. It's to use it as radio together with a football game for example, so you can watch the game muted, and hear your fav streamer narrating it at the same time.

Tony S. (ID: 0000000d59f07fb4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/23/2023 Works great, doesn't have playback speed option. It would be great if there was a playback speed option in the settings, as this would allow me to get caught up to the live stream.
