Player Assistant is a Chrome extension which acts as an auxiliary tool for video watching. Because not every video player provides the same keyboard shortcuts, the goal of Player Assistant is to integrate common shortcuts of these players, make every video player can have the same integrated features, and give users a better viewing experience.
Click the video to enable Player Assistant.
(Note: Click within the video itself & Player Assistant is activated only when the video is selected)
When Player Assistant is enabled and the video is selected, you can use following shortcuts for a specific action. Also note that some players icon wouldn't react to actions taken by Player Assistant, but that doesn't mean actions haven't been taken.

- When Player Assistant is enabled, you can hover over the progress bars for the current time/speed/volume.
- When Player Assistant is enabled, you can click the rightmost buttons, enter the value, and press enter to edit time/speed/volume offset. If the edit is valid, you will see the background color of the button change to yellow for a second, that means the offset has been changed successfully and it will immediately affect every website that Player Assistant is currently enabled.
Pin the extension on Chrome to check the current status by the icon.
