Extension Usage Instructions
This extension adds a button to the Plex interface that allows you to open the file in an external video app of your choice:
- Set your favourite video Player (System Default, VLC, IINA, etc.)
- Option to mark videos as played once you open them (requires a page refresh to see the change, but it saves immediately).
Note:
- This app only works on macOS! There are other chrome extensions that do the same thing on Windows and Linux.
- You'll need the companion app that opens the the video player. The extension should prompt you to download it. You can also find it on the extensions website (github). Extension Basic Information
