Show Video Controls on any web videos.

I was watching a short video, but I got bored with it. Actually, the content creator tricked, he commits that on the last of the video he will give some information. Because of there don't have any time forward option I had need to watch the full 1 min video. I searched about extensions for solve this issue, But I didn't find any.

Then I realize, I'm a developer, why not develop one. and It's not a complex thing, yeh of course there had need some complex logic for make this extension universal, universal means, it will not work with any classes or any random selector. it will work dynamically; it will search every video tag and it will check some of element blocking to access the controls. If yes, then it will make it a useless element and override the screen. and it will give you the access of controls. 

It's not completed yet. It's just solved my issue. for upload this extension to the chrome store or edge store I need to add some more logic and conditions. in a single word, I need to add some more features. It's just a raw project. 

I don't have enough time to complete this, for that I'm just adding to the GitHub page and some instruction, how you could use it.

Find your extension menu from the three-dot menu. I'm giving you edge browser reference. 

Extension manager

Go the manage extension
Extension Page view

You will find the developer option somewhere on this page. in edge you will get this on the right side of the page.

Turn on the developer mode

Go my GitHub profile and download the source code. and here you will get an option to load this file/folder for use extension. But if you didn't unzip it then select the "Pack extension" menu

Load the downloaded folder

Select the folder

Install successfully

 

And now extension is successfully installed. For use it, click on the extension icon. it will check every video of your page and add controls on there. If you refresh this page or new video load then you would need to click on extension again. and yes, I'm working on it to make it more dynamic. that's why I need time and I didn't upload this on chrome/edge store. and you can manage others stuff same as your regular way. I'll try to upload it to the webstore as soon as possible.

By the way, Mobile browsers don't support extensions, so unfortunately you can't use any extension, not even this one.
