Better Local Video Player di Trg69

Better Local Video Player is a Firefox extension designed to enhance the native browser video player, specifically optimized for viewing local video files (file://). It replaces the basic default interface with a modern, feature-rich UI and adds essential productivity features like advanced keyboard shortcuts and progress persistence.

🚀 Features

🎮 Advanced Controls

• Smart Play/Pause: Toggle playback using the Space bar, the dedicated UI button, or by clicking anywhere on the video frame.
• Keyboard Navigation:
  • Arrow Keys: Jump forward or backward by 5 seconds with a visual feedback toast.
  • Number Keys (0-9): Instantly seek to a specific percentage of the video (e.g., press 5 to go to 50% of the duration).
• Custom Progress Bar: A sleek, interactive progress bar with a real-time video preview tooltip and precise seek control.

💾 Smart Persistence

• Progress Saving: Automatically remembers your exact position in the video when you close the tab or refresh the page.
• Auto-Resume: When you reopen a local video file, the extension automatically seeks to your last position.
• Context Buffer: To help you get back into the story, the player resumes 5 seconds before where you left off.
• Safety Lock: Prevents losing your place during accidental rapid page refreshes by requiring a minimum session time before updating the save.
