FAQ:
1.How to open the player?
Click the extension icon.
2.How to open files?
• Click the "Folder" icon in the panel
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl/Cmd + O
• Drag and drop files to the player
3.Subtitles
Independent or embedded subtitles are not supported. Maybe I will support independent subtitle files in the future.
Of course, if the subtitles are already in the video stream, they can be displayed.
4.Online streaming media
Currently only supports local file playback. There are no plans to support online streaming media.
5.Video format and codec
Because the underlying core functions are completely implemented by the browser, only some video formats and codec are supported. For example, it supports AVC(H.264), but doesn't support HEVC(H.265). In addition, it doesn't support multiple audio tracks switching.
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!
