vGet detects videos embedded in websites and allows to download them or play them via DLNA directly on a Smart TV.
The extension is designed to be minimal-invasive. It is only loaded only on demand, when the vGet button is clicked. So it has no performance impact nor does it use any memory while not used. Other similar extensions out there basically sniff all network traffic regardless if used or not. This unnecessarily drains performance. (Use chrome://inspect/#extensions -> Extensions to verify. There should not be any entry while not used).
Play Videos directly on your Smart TV
vGet supports DLNA/UPnP to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device in your local network. Many devices out there support DLNA, for example Smart TVs, XBox, MediaCenters, AllShare Devices etc. vGet does not relay the video stream but streams directly from the internet. This saves battery life - the video even keeps playing when you switch off your Chromebook completely. So vGet offers Chromecast-like functionality without requiring additional hardware.
This requires vGet Cast (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vget-cast-dlna-controller/ekdjofnchpbfmnfbedalmbdlhbabiapi
) to ve installed
Support for Chromecast will be added soon
Limitations

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
