Direct-Link-Player-Extension

Overview: Direct-Link-Player-Extension is a browser extension that enhances your media player experience by providing a right-click menu option to open video links directly in your media player. Please exercise caution and ensure the safety of the links you open, as this functionality can pose security risks.

Compatibility:

• This extension is set up for Chrome and Edge browsers. While it has not been tested on Mozilla, it may work with appropriate adjustments.

Requirements:

• Your media player must support opening online streaming from direct download links and do so from the command line.
• We recommend using MPV Player, a reliable and compatible media player.
